Clad in a sharp red suit on Saturday, the 10th of May, I arrived at Eko Hotel ready to soak in the spectacle, not just as an observer but as someone who understands the power of presence. Even before the event officially kicked off, the venue was already buzzing with energy. Eko Hotel had transformed into a bevvy of activities—celebrities and content creators were seen having mini photoshoots at different corners. This wasn’t just another award show; it was a cultural and commercial phenomenon. The Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) is often seen as a glamorous night of celebration,…
Kaizer Chiefs can secure MTN8 football with three points on the final day of this Betway Premiership season. Amakhosi snatched a priceless point against Babina Noko Despite going behind early in the contest, Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs secured what might prove to be a massive point away to Sekhukhune in a 1-1 draw thanks to Glody Lilepo’s equaliser deep into first-half stoppage time. It means the Glamour Boys can guarantee an MTN8 place with a win on the final day at home against Polokwane City. However, Polokwane sit two points above Chiefs, although their MTN8 place is already sealed. Chiefs vs…
Imagine getting a text from a stranger during a stressful work day, and something about it just seems to brighten your day. Tunde felt this way 2 years ago when he got a text from Chinonso.

As an intentional lover, Tunde wanted their proposal to reflect everything they cherished. Since they first bonded over their love for books and love stories, he decided to…

In a concerted effort to promote systemic change, the Stand To End Rape Initiative (STER), partnering with the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Nigeria, convened a distinguished group of some of Nigeria’s most influential figures in Abuja on April 30th, 2025. The overarching aim of this gathering was to generate significant support for a truly inclusive democracy—a system where women are not relegated to the sidelines but are actively engaged at the decision-making table, a crucial step towards gender equality being advocated for throughout Nigeria. Held at the Envoy Hotel, the High-Level Stakeholder Engagement on the Special…
Resting protocols may block South African players such as Stormers No 8 Evan Roos from representing the Barbarians against the Springboks at Cape Town Stadium in June. Despite not receiving a call-up to Rassie Erasmus’ 54-man Bok alignment camp this week, six-Test Roos would be a natural selection for the invitational side. However, Rapport understands that the eight-week mandatory rest period for Vodacom URC players makes his participation for the Baa Baas in the 28 June clash unlikely. “I can’t see how the Stormers will release any player to the Baa Baas, otherwise they will miss some of the matches…
South Africa’s Hamish Lovemore came within a whisker of pulling off a sensational win in the men’s K1 1000m final at the International Canoe Federation Canoe Sprint World Cup in Szeged, Hungary. It was a top-class field that featured six of the eight Olympic finalists, including Paris 2024 gold medallist Josef Dostal of Czechia, but Lovemore – ninth in Paris – surprised them all and almost emerged victorious, pushing Kopasz all the way. Kopasz, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medallist, won in 3min 29.65sec, edging Lovemore who took silver in 3:29.82, while a late surge from Dostal saw the Czech seal…
