 “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.

HAWAII’S KĪLAUEA VOLCANO ERUPTS, LAVA FOUNTAIN SHOOTS 1,500 FEET INTO THE AIR. (PHOTO).



Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano erupts, lava fountain shoots 1,500 feet into the air

  Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano erupted for the 41st time since 2024, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The latest eruption was observed Saturday morning by officials in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

By Sunday evening at 7:29 p.m. HST, the eruptions had paused, though intermittent glowing was still visible from the volcano’s north and south vents. USGS footage showed lava bubbling steadily before surging into a dramatic fountain reaching roughly 1,500 feet. The molten rock flowed down the mountain, forming rivers that slowly solidified overnight. Lava fountains covered much of the mountain, eventually blanketing 80–85% of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor. Falling ash and tephra reached communities as far as Hilo, creating health risks and potential contamination of water supplies. Kīlauea has been erupting episodically since Dec. 23, 2024, with each episode lasting under 12 hours and separated by pauses of up to two weeks. Scientists expect the next eruption to occur in roughly two to three weeks.
