The South African group are considered the frontrunners and could be set to finalise a deal in a matter of weeks. This goes against earlier reports which depicted a group of Nigerian businessmen on the verge of securing a deal. The consortium was reported to have a $700m takeover fund to buy the Magpies from owner Mike Ashley, but they needed another $200m to secure the deal.    But wait a minute. Rather than buy a football club, why don’t these “meaningful” Africans invest their money in ventures within African shores and remember that they are not Roman Abramovich? While the bid is impressive on paper, harsh realities still exist in that Newcastle is a club in total chaos. Watch this space.

Chameleon said after performing in Tanga Saturday night, he went to Arusha where his accommodation was booked and slept as usual and does not remember what happened later. He said he was shocked when he found himself lying on the first floor, of the hotel surrounded by people who thought he was a thief…well I guess the people in Tanzania don’t watch music videos that much or perhaps couldn’t make out the Ugandan superstar because, like a chameleon, he was spotting a disguise. By the way, that’s just to make humor out of this very bizarre situation. (more…)

My mind body and soul always screaming out “pen and paper!”
And never will I ignore that calling…
From my fingers gripping the ball point pen
To the inkjet spitting out my thoughts and emotions
Onto that A4 sheet
Like a snake’s fangs spitting venom into its prey’s blood
My words are like the rush of that venom straight to your heart
Because they carry passion, emotion and struggle
So intense that they will touch your heart
Can you already feel me? (more…)
