 “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...

 ANAMBRA POLICE COMMAND FOILS SUSPECTED KIDNAP PLOT, ARRESTS SUSPECT, UNCOVERS ALLEGED FRAUD SYNDICATE; MANHUNT FOR OTHER MEMBERS INTENSIFIES


Police Operatives attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Awkuzu, on the evening of 11th July 2026, foiled a suspected kidnap plot, rescued a victim, and arrested one Kenneth Nnaji, aged 66, for his alleged involvement in a criminal syndicate specializing in obtaining money under false pretences in Awka.


Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly belongs to a three-man criminal syndicate that specializes in defrauding unsuspecting members of the public through elaborate deception across Anambra and Enugu States.


The suspect, during interrogation, allegedly confessed to his involvement in the criminal enterprise and provided useful information on the group's modus operandi. The syndicate reportedly disguises its members in branded overalls and caps while posing as representatives of reputable companies. They allegedly obtain goods from prospective victims under the guise of collecting samples and subsequently direct the victims to another location, claiming that larger quantities of the goods are available for purchase at heavily discounted prices. The victims are then allegedly defrauded through the fraudulent scheme.


The suspect further identified other members of the syndicate as Christopher (surname yet to be ascertained), Jacob Musa, and Joseph (surname yet to be ascertained), all of whom are currently at large. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspects and dismantle the syndicate.


The Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, fwc, mnips, PhD, has urged members of the public to remain vigilant and exercise due diligence by verifying the identities and credentials of individuals claiming to represent companies before engaging in any business transactions. He further directed the investigating team to conduct a thorough investigation into the case, ensure the arrest of all fleeing suspects, recover the proceeds of the alleged fraud, and prosecute all those found culpable in accordance with the law.


The suspect will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
