As we launch the milestone #gsport20 campaign, we pause to reflect on a powerful tradition that has become the heartbeat of women’s sport in South Africa: 10 years of gsport Networking.

Yelé delivers an intimate, honest reflection on letting go, even when it hurts. It is a breakup anthem for the soft yet strong, for anyone who has ever loved deeply and had to walk away. Rooted in a musically rich upbringing, Yelé draws from her…

Photo Credit: Ciara/Instagram It’s been a minute—okay, a decade—since Ciara performed in London. But the R&B queen is back, and she brought the drama with her.

The line-up also included JADE from Little Mix, JoJo, Loreen, and Erika Jayne. Solid nostalgia energy all around. Let’s talk about that outfit though. Ciara wore what can only be described as Queen-of-the-White-Party-meets-modern-royalty. She went full fantasy in an all-white look: corset top, wide trousers, a giant fuzzy coat, Nike…
