Orlando Pirates are believed to be monitoring rising TS Galaxy star Khulumani Ndamane as they prepare for potential reinforcements ahead of the new season. The 21-year-old centre-back enjoyed a breakthrough campaign, becoming one of the standout performers in the Betway Premiership, and Orlando Pirates did not miss that. Despite having another exceptional youngster in Mbekezeli Mbokazi (19) in the same left-central defence position, Orlando Pirates, have reportedly identified Ndamane as a promising prospect with long-term potential, especially if Mbokazi earns a move abroad.

Mutana Wanjira, founder of the Sounds of Freedom nonprofit organisation based in Nairobi, created the Cinema in Nature project, which brought the stories of Mau Mau combatants to life in the exact area where many once sought refuge.

Located approximately 5 kilometres from the city centre, it provides a green respite from Nairobi’s fast-paced daily life. It was once preserved by Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai, but today it serves as a living archive…
World number three-ranked New Zealand’s Black Ferns XV were made to work hard to beat the Springbok Women 34-26 at Athlone Stadium in the first of two Test matches, in Cape Town on Saturday evening, 26 July 2025. The world no.12-ranked South Africans played with a lot of passion and power but not enough patience, as the experienced New Zealanders – who led by 20-12 at the break – played with a bit more skill and pace, which was probably the difference in the end. However, the Bok Women played some of their best rugby, especially in the second half,…

The host with the most never does things halfway, especially when it’s Big Brother Naija season. And he’s staying in the pink lane this evening.

For his second appearance, Ebuka switched gears to pay homage to the legendary jùjú…
The Lions remain without a team title sponsor and stadium naming-rights sponsor ahead of the 2025-26 season. Emirates ended its 10-year sponsorship of the Johannesburg-based franchise at the end of June, having informed the Lions late last year that the agreement would not be renewed. “We are negotiating with a few large overseas companies,” Lions CEO Rudolf Straeuli told Rapport. “What makes things a bit more difficult now is the European holiday period. “Like last year, Fidelity ADT is the main sponsor of our Currie Cup team. We’ve also added one or two smaller sponsors to the mix. But we…
The Big Brother Naija house is officially alive, and it’s all thanks to the fierce, fabulous women who made their grand entrance on Day 1 of Season 10. From the moment Ebuka Obi-Uchendu started calling names, you could feel it – this season’s ladies aren’t here to play.

But trust, they’re just warming up because tomorrow, 15 male housemates will be introduced, and we can already sense sparks waiting to fly. And these ladies? They came ready. Big Soso…

Photo Credit: Ebuka Obi-Uchendu/Instagram We all know the rule: Big Brother Naija doesn’t officially start until Ebuka Obi–Uchendu shows up in something that makes you gasp, send screenshots to your group chat, and maybe question your own wardrobe choices. For the Season 10 launch, he kicked things off with — wait for it — a crystal-covered denim jacket. Yes, denim with actual crystals. He paired it with a white shirt, bowtie, and the biggest, boldest pink trousers we’ve seen on BBNaija in… ever. They were wide-legged, dramatic, and so much fun — very “you can’t look away even if you…
