Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, Thomas Tuchel, Mstr Ogbonna and Adamu Atta Recently, the Guards Polo Club in Windsor played host to a gathering characterised by sophistication and refinement. Attendees donned couture attire, engaged in conversation over drinks, and observed the polo matches on the well-maintained grounds. However, beyond the visual appeal and elegance, the event was distinguished by its underlying sense of purpose. That was the Access Bank UK Polo Day, an annual event that has grown from a celebration of sport and style into a life-changing initiative. For many, the real highlight of the day wasn’t the match, but the mission.…

The two not only stepped out looking stunning, but they also made a fun video dancing to Yemi’s latest song, “Padi Mi”(which means my friend). We love friends who dress alike and then dance to friendship anthems – talk about committing to the vibe! For their looks, Nancy and Yemi wore green and pink floral lace oleku, styled with short wrappers and wide-sleeved tops. They both tied peach geles, added stacked pearl jewellery,…
From founding a netball club in Bloemfontein to coaching Pretoria’s top teams, Erica Dibela’s rise has been anything but conventional. Today, she is the coach of the Pretoria Kudus and a two-time USSA medalist as coach. At just 26, Dibela is proving that leadership in sport isn’t reserved for the sidelines it’s forged in the trenches and powered by purpose. For her, success is not just about the medals. It’s about building something lasting. “Sports leadership is about creating platforms, where athletes, coaches, managers and umpires can grow. It’s about innovation, and it’s about enabling others to be their best.”…
New coach Johan Ackermann is determined to help the Vodacom Bulls clear the final hurdle in their pursuit of silverware. Ackermann takes over a Bulls team that, under Jake White, reached three Vodacom URC finals in four seasons – but failed to claim the title. Their most recent defeat was a comprehensive 32-7 loss to Leinster in Dublin. During his time at the Lions, Ackermann guided the Johannesburg-based franchise to back-to-back Super Rugby finals in 2016 and 2017. He then led Gloucester to the 2017-18 European Challenge Cup final in his first season at the English club. On all three…
Photo Credit: Kash/Instagram Bucci Franklin and Sunshine Rosman are giving us major “To Kill A Monkey” nostalgia in this photo, and we’re loving it. If you’ve seen Kemi Adetiba’s latest Netflix series, you already know how good they were together – Bucci as Oboz, the hustler who would stop at nothing, and Shine as Amanda Sparkles, whose charm was as dangerous as it was captivating. Their on-screen chemistry was fire, and seeing them like this off-screen feels like a quiet nod to that. Bucci keeps things sleek in a black double-breasted suit dotted with subtle beadwork – sharp, clean, and very…

Orlando Pirates have signed a gem. Kamogelo Sebelebele’s former TS Galaxy coach Adnan Beganović has said the winger earned his big break and insists the Buccaneers are getting a complete player both on and off the pitch. The Tembisa-born player’s development under Beganović at TS Galaxy culminated in a breakout 2024/25 season, during which he made 29 appearances, scored five goals, and delivered two assists. His progress has been rapid, and his elevation to one of the most exciting prospects in South African football is, according to Beganović, no accident.
