 “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. Our children cannot progress without electricity." "I was born ANC, but today I do not want anyone to tell me about the ANC because I am suffering," added 57-year-old resid...

 Sharon Stone updates fans on her health after being given 1% chance of survival following near-fatal stroke in 2001


Sharon Stone has long inspired fans with her resilience, ever since surviving a near‑fatal stroke and brain hemorrhage in 2001 that left her with only a slim chance of survival. 


Now 68, the Basic Instinct star continues to share updates about her journey, reminding others that recovery and renewal are possible even after life‑altering challenges. 


Alongside her return to acting in projects like Nobody 2 and the final season of Euphoria, Stone has revealed that painting has become a vital part of her creative and personal rebirth.


In a recent interview, Stone explained that art became both a healing outlet and a way to keep her creativity alive after her stroke dramatically shifted her career. 


She described how painting helped her process trauma, loss of identity, and the difficulties of stepping away from Hollywood. 

Though she first learned to paint as a child, she set it aside during her busy years as a movie star.


 It wasn’t until the aftermath of her stroke and later during the Covid‑19 pandemic that she picked up a brush again, finding solace and expression in bold, abstract canvases filled with vibrant color.


Today, Stone balances her acting comeback with her passion for painting, which has grown into a significant part of her life. 


With her children now adults, she has more space to focus on her creativity, and her artwork has been exhibited internationally in cities from Los Angeles to Berlin. 


Through her expressive pieces, she explores themes of healing, identity, and resilience, showing that her artistry extends far beyond the screen and continues to inspire audiences worldwide.
