 “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...

 EFCC Re-arraigns Theophilus Madami for Alleged  N16m Fraud in Kaduna


The Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, June 22, 2026 re-arraigned Theophilus Madami, before Justice A. Isiaka of the State High Court, sitting in Kaduna for fraud. 


Madami, a former councillor in Kaduna South Local Government Area was re-arraigned on a one-count charge bordering on obtaining by false pretence, criminal breach of trust and criminal misappropriation to the tune of N16,080,000 (Sixteen Million and Eighty Thousand Naira).


The charge reads: "That you, Hon. Theophilus Madami, on or about the 5th day of November, 2018 in Kaduna, within the Judicial Division of this Honourable Court with the intent to defraud, obtained property to wit: 4,020 (Four Thousand and Twenty) of pasta food products worth N16,080,000 (Sixteen Million and Eighty Thousand Naira, only) from one Ibrahim Ringim Haruna, being the property of Pyramid Supplies and Services Limited under the guise that Kaduna South Local Government Area requested for the same, a pretence you knew to be false, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1 (1) (a) of Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1 (3) of the same Act.”


 


He pleaded “not guilty” to the charge, prompting, the prosecuting counsel, Y.J Matiyak to ask the court to remand the defendant in the Kaduna Correctional Centre, pending his trial, while the defence counsel, B.E Gwadah made an oral application for his bail, which was opposed by the prosecution.


 


The court adjourned the case till Wednesday July 22, 2026, for ruling on the bail application and ordered that the defendant be remanded in a Correctional centre.


 


The defendant was arraigned in 2019 for allegedly obtaining a total sum of N16.08 million from his victim, Pyramid Supplies Services Limited. However, the EFCC at that time, recovered N5 million from the proceeds of crime in favour of the victim.
