 “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...

 Céline Dion Pays Tribute To Peabo Bryson, “His Voice Will Always Stay With Me”


Céline Dion is paying tribute to Peabo Bryson following news of his passing at the age of 75.


Shortly after reports confirmed the Grammy-winning singer’s @ on June 2, Dion shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram Stories remembering both his talent and their time working together.


She posted a photo of the pair from the 1993 American Music Awards and reflected on their iconic 1991 duet, *Beauty and the Beast*, which went on to win a Grammy and become one of Disney’s most recognised songs.


"I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today," Dion wrote. "His incredible voice and kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance."


Dion went on to describe how meaningful the collaboration was for her early in her career, especially as she was still developing confidence singing in English.


"He was so wonderful and generous to me when we recorded 'Beauty and the Beast,'" she added. "He made me feel very comfortable as I was just learning to sing in English."


The singer said Bryson’s influence would remain with her for years to come, not just as a collaborator but as part of her musical journey.


"He will always be a symbol of the joy music has brought into my life," she wrote. "His voice and talent will be missed."


She ended her message by sending condolences to his family, writing, "My heart is with your loved ones. Rest in peace, Peabo. Love, Celine."


Bryson’s family confirmed that he passed away surrounded by relatives, shortly after suffering a stroke.


Known for his smooth R&B style, Bryson built a long career that included hits and major duets. His 1992 collaboration with Regina Belle, *A Whole New World* from *Aladdin*, made history as the first song from an animated film to top the Billboard Hot 100.


His family later shared a statement thanking fans and colleagues for the global support, noting how deeply he was loved and how widely his music resonated.


Before his passing, Bryson had often spoken warmly about his work with Dion. In a past interview, he recalled that she was initially considered for the song on her own, before Disney opted to pair her with a more established voice at the time.


He also remembered that their early studio sessions took time to settle, as Dion was still finding her footing, but said their chemistry eventually came together in a way that defined the song’s lasting success.
