The Jukskei derby is always one of the most eagerly anticipated games on the rugby calendar, and there there will be plenty of excitement about this upcoming battle between the Bulls and Lions, with very little to choose between the two teams ahead of kick off on Saturday. On the URC standings, only four points separate the seventh-placed Lions (24 points) and ninth-placed Bulls (20 points), and both will be viewing this as a must-win match. The Lions will be determined to break their frustrating cycle in which they registered back-to-back draws in the EPCR Challenge Cup and URC competitions,…
For the average Nigerian freelancer, shopper, or tech enthusiast, the word “PayPal” often triggers a heavy sigh. Since its inception in 1998, the American-based giant has been the global gold standard for digital payments—acting as a secure electronic alternative to traditional banking for sending and receiving money across borders. However, for Nigerians, that “global” access has always come with a massive asterisk. Nigeria’s history with the platform is, in a word, complicated. For years, the country was famously “blacklisted” from the service entirely. When PayPal finally opened its doors to the Nigerian market in 2014, it was a half-hearted welcome;…

From leading a quiet period piece to anchoring a global franchise, she brings a specific, grounded truth to every role she inhabits. As she once beautifully put it in an interview with The Guardian: “I think I’ve realized that when you are aiming to create a real body of work, you are as much defined by the things you don’t do as by the things you do.” This intentionality is exactly why her filmography feels so curated. If you are looking to dive deeper into her work,…

Kaizer Chiefs defender Miguel Inácio is skating on thin ice and could miss crucial CAF Confederation Cup matches due to suspension concerns. The 30-year-old Angolan was booked during Chiefs’ recent clash against Zesco United, meaning another caution in their next CAF outing would see him automatically suspended from Amakhosi’s subsequent match. Inácio’s disciplinary record this season has been a cause for concern. He has already picked up eight yellow cards across 19 appearances in all competitions. The defender has served one suspension after accumulating four bookings and now sits just two yellow cards away from another ban in the Betway…

Photo Credit: Tyla/Instagram South African star Tyla brought striking visual energy to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with a performance of her track, “CHANEL.” Stepping away from a typical stage setup, she performed from inside a massive, glossy red high-heeled shoe — a playful yet commanding prop that mirrored the bold confidence of the set. That same confidence carried through to her look. Tyla wore a simple black bralette paired with a hand-crocheted, netted mini skirt in vibrant red with pale blue accents. The outfit was elevated with layered strands of pearls, coral beads, and metallic necklaces, creating a…
