The 2024 SA Rugby awards celebrated the Springboks’ achievements over the past eight years, while reinforcing their intent to create more history, writes MARK KEOHANE. Writing for TimesLIVE, Keohane describes the event in Cape Town last week as a fitting tribute to a team that has dominated world rugby, with Cheslin Kolbe deservedly taking the Player of the Year award. Rassie Erasmus was the clear choice for Coach of the Year, and the Boks fittingly named Team of the Year. Keohane highlights the significance of the night, not just as a reflection on past success – including two World Cups,…

Just recently, Burna Boy himself made his runway debut at Off-White’s Fall Winter 2025 show in Paris. Now, Ronami Ogulu, his sister, creative director and the genius behind some of his most iconic fashion moments, is reminding us why this family doesn’t play when it comes to style. For her birthday, Ronami stepped out in a look that was impossible to ignore. She rocked a distressed denim two-piece with bold red…

Bell peppers in a smoothie? It might not be the first ingredient that comes to mind, but hear us out. With their natural sweetness and a boost of vitamin C, they blend surprisingly well with fruits like pineapple, creating a refreshing and nutrient-packed drink. Making it is as simple as it gets. Start by cleaning out the seeds from the bell peppers and chopping them into small pieces. Peel and dice your pineapple, then toss everything into a blender. Blend until smooth, and just like that, you have a healthy smoothie ready to go. Watch how Uzoms Kitchen makes it…
Orlando Pirates’ Monnapule Saleng dilemma continues, as Jose Riveiro speaks out on absence. Pirates head coach Riveiro has opened up about the ongoing Saleng situation, acknowledging the challenges his absence has created for the team. The Buccaneers’ hopes of closing the gap on Betway Premiership leaders took another hit after a frustrating goalless draw against 10-man Stellenbosch on Tuesday. Whenever Pirates drop points, questions arise about their lack of cutting edge in the final third. The absence of Saleng, one of their most influential attackers, has only amplified these concerns. The 26-year-old has been unavailable since early December due to…

Dan Sheehan scored a hat-trick of tries as Ireland maintained their slender hopes of retaining the Six Nations on Saturday by beating Italy in Rome. The Irish triumphed 22-17 for the bonus-point victory they needed to go three points clear of favourites France, but Simon Easterby’s charges still need results to go their way later on “Super Saturday” in order to secure a third straight tournament crown. It pushed the men from the Emerald Isle to the top of the championship table on 19 points; however, France and England can both overtake them if they beat Scotland and Wales, respectively.…
Photo credit: rollingstone/Instagram Rema’s rise in music has been exceptional. Long before he became one of Afrobeats’ biggest global stars, he was just a teenager in Benin City, recording himself rapping in the front seat of a car. That clip of him freestyling over “Gucci Gang,” a song by D’Prince, Don Jazzy, and Davido, made its way to D’Prince, who saw something special. Soon after, Rema was signed to Jonzing World, D’Prince’s imprint under Mavin Records, laying the foundation for what would become an unstoppable rise. In his latest conversation with Rolling Stone for its Future of Music cover, Rema…
On the 28th of April, Sport&EU’s board member, Aashika Doshi led and chaired a discussion on sport diplomacy’s influence to address inequality. The discussion explored the multi-dimensional nature of sport diplomacy and creating layers of influence.

However, sport diplomacy has socio-political impacts. These impacts occur through creating an inclusionary environment with the sentiment of sportsmanship to abide by an agreed set of rules. Sport generates a far-reaching platform for athletes, particularly for those who participate in elite-level sport. Sometimes seen…
