 “No electricity, no vote,” South Africans threaten to shun ruling party ANC Residents in Katlehong, a township outside Johannesburg, have resolved to boycott South Africa's upcoming local elections on November 4 due to long-standing failures by authorities to provide basic services like electricity. For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

 Christian Leaders Hails Gov. Uba Sani For Promoting Peace, Unity In Kaduna


Christian leaders across different denominations have praised Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna state, for promoting peace, fairness, and interfaith harmony in the state.


The commendation was given during the Kaduna Unity Christmas Carol organised by the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in partnership with the Kaduna government on Sunday.


Speaking at the event, Ademola Tinuoye, chairman of the Pentecostal Bishops’ Forum, said the governor has lived up to the promises he made when he assumed office.


He said Sani’s commitment to fairness has helped prevent crises in the state, adding that his policies on equity, inclusiveness, and justice have ensured that no group is sidelined.


Amos Kiri, president of the United Church of Christ, also applauded the governor for attending the programme with members of his cabinet, describing the gesture as a sign of love and peaceful leadership.


Kiri noted that it was rare for Christians in Kaduna to see a sitting governor attend a Christian event of such nature. He also praised the presence of people from other faiths, which turned the carol into an interfaith celebration.


According to him, continued commitment to unity will keep Kaduna peaceful and contribute to Nigeria’s progress.


Tunde Bolanta, apostolic overseer of Restoration Ministries Worldwide, said the Christmas season represents unity and bridge-building, qualities he said the governor has demonstrated.


He added that Sani’s leadership is restoring the spirit of harmony between Muslims and Christians that existed in Kaduna in earlier decades, describing him as a governor for all who is executing projects across the state.
