D’Prince Decries Monetised Cyberbullying in Entertainment
Nigerian singer and music executive D’Prince has raised concern over what he describes as the growing monetisation of cyberbullying in the entertainment industry.

He called for more professionalism, accountability, and ethical standards in journalism and digital media. […]

African Champions League: Sundowns edge Royal Armed Forces amid faulty VAR
Mamelodi Sundowns took a slender advantage in the CAF Champions League final after edging Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces (AS FAR) 1-0 in a first leg overshadowed by a malfunctioning VAR system. The South African champions struck through left-back Aubrey Modiba, whose superb free-kick from outside the box found the net eight minutes before half-time at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. The match descended into farce at the start of the second half when technical issues rendered the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system unusable. Both teams were left waiting for around 20 minutes before officials decided to resume play without VAR, in what many observers branded another embarrassing episode for African football on a big stage. Sundowns could have won by a wider margin but Colombian striker Brayan León missed three clear chances early in the second half. Midfielder Teboho Mokoena then […]
