 “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.

TOMORROW IS HERE!. - GOV. MBA AS HE INAUGURATED NEWLY PROCURED HI-TECH SECURITY EQUIPMENT AND PATROL VEHICLES FROM THE ENUGU STATE SECURITY TRUST FUND. (PHOTOS). #PRESS RELEASE.


 Today, we strengthened our resolve to keep Enugu safe.


I inaugurated newly procured hi-tech security equipment and patrol vehicles from the Enugu State Security Trust Fund, including two advanced drones, 10 Hilux patrol vans, 400 bulletproof vests, and 400 bulletproof helmets.


These assets will reinforce our existing investments in security such as the state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre, the network of AI-enabled surveillance cameras across the state, and over 150 Distress Response Squad vehicles fitted with AI-embedded cameras.


We can confidently say that violent crimes have been reduced by over 80 per cent in Enugu State. But we are not resting on our laurels because the criminals and bad elements we are dealing with are not resting. Security is one sector you may have scored 90 per cent, but just one breach can undermine all the successes you have accomplished.


That is why we are not resting on our oars. We will continue to invest heavily in equipment and infrastructure that allow us to nip crime in the bud and respond swiftly whenever it occurs. As always, we are working closely with the Federal Government to ensure our communities remain safe.


I appreciate the Trustees of the Enugu State Security Trust Fund for their steadfast support and dedication. Ndi Enugu can be assured that we will keep pressing forward to ensure that our state remains the safest place to live, work, and invest.


Tomorrow is here!.
