 “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.

Prince Harry laughs off goat yoga mishap after animal nearly pounces on his ‘crown jewels’ mid-session


Prince Harry made a cheerful appearance at Scotty’s Summer Festival in Warwickshire on July 11, supporting the charity that helps children who have lost parents in military service. The Duke of Sussex, 41, joined in goat yoga, where one playful goat jumped onto his groin mid‑pose, prompting laughter and a joking remark from Harry. 


He also took part in water balloon games on an inflatable obstacle course, blending fun with heartfelt moments alongside the children.


The event carried emotional weight when nine‑year‑old Poppy, who lost her father in 2020, asked Harry what makes him laugh on difficult days. Harry admitted that sometimes joy is hard to find, but said his children, his dog, and even funny television shows help lift his spirits. 


He reminded the children that laughter, even when elusive, can be the best medicine, and emphasized the importance of community and support networks in coping with grief.


Harry’s visit came during his solo return to the U.K., which was later joined by Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet. 


The trip marked the children’s first reunion with King Charles in four years, underscoring both the personal significance of the family gathering and Harry’s ongoing commitment to causes close to his heart, such as Scotty’s Little Soldiers, where he has served as global ambassador since 2023.
