 “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...

 Sandra Bullock says she 'barely remembers' Oscar win because she was caring for newborn son


Sandra Bullock admitted she can “barely remember” the night she won her first Academy Award in 2010 because she was caring for her newborn son, Louis. 


During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, the 62‑year‑old actress explained she had only slept two hours and was secretly juggling life with her baby, who suffered from acid reflux. 


While she won Best Actress for The Blind Side, her focus was on getting back home to feed Louis.


Bullock recalled sitting in her gown with her son on her lap after the ceremony, the Oscar placed on the floor beside them. She described the moment as overwhelming but also grounding, saying exhaustion kept her from being swept up in the chaos of Hollywood celebrations. 


Even at the afterparty, she was eager to leave quickly, waiting only long enough for her award to be engraved before rushing home.


At the time, Bullock kept Louis’ adoption private, later announcing it in April 2010. She went on to adopt her daughter Laila in 2015 and has since prioritized her children’s schedules over her career. 


Reflecting on her journey, she said if her kids can’t be with her, she won’t attend events, emphasizing that their lives come before her storytelling.


 Recently, she shared a rare throwback photo of Louis and Laila on Mother’s Day, underscoring her devotion to family.
