Former World Champions Will Face Each Other in Ugandan Capital
Evander Holyfield, 47, and Francois Botha, 41, have reportedly inked a deal to fight in the Ugandan capital of Kampala on December 19th. The fight, if it does indeed take place, will be Holyfield’s first since his unsuccessful challenge for Nikolai Valuev’s WBA title and Francois Botha’s lightly regarded World Boxing Federation (WBF) belt will be at stake. The bout will mark a welcome return to the ring for the former champion. In the year following the Valuev loss, Holyfield has seen fights confirmed and then cancelled in the boxing outposts of Ethiopia and South Korea - the former was to be an AIDS fund-raising exhibition against local hero Sammy Retta, whilst the latter was a non-title bout against American journeyman Derrick Rossy - yet continues to cling stubbornly to his dream of capturing the heavyweight crown for an unprecedented fifth time.

Organisers of the annual Swahili Fashion Week 2009 are seeking designers for the event slated for November 2009 in the Tanzanian’s port city of Dar es Salaam.
The event, which is open to designers from Swahili speaking countries, was successful last year and graced by Nigerian supermodel Oluchi Omweagba on the runway under the meticulous choreography and direction of Jan Malan Umzingeli from South Africa.
It showcased Tanzanian designers and other models, including the Finalists of M’Net Face of Africa 2008.
This year, the organisers are looking to increase the number of the designers with host Tanzania producing twelve.
“We are looking for many designers from Swahili speaking countries as possible.” said Hamis Omari, one of the organisers.
He added that preparations were already in top gear and that the event this year would be bigger and better.
“The preparations are underway this year, to create a three day of fashion galore, gallantry, glitz and glamour of what best East Africa has to offer.” He concluded.
Participants include accessory, jewellery, handbags and shoe designers.

(CNN) — Kanjii Mbugua storms the stage amid cheers as fans crane their necks to see the Kenyan musician.

His twisted hair and baggy T-shirt are a far cry from his formally dressed fans. He belts out “I’m Just a Man,” one of his trademark songs, and dashes across the stage.
But the 31-year-old Nairobi, Kenya, resident is not a hip-hop or rock artist. And don’t call his music rap, either.
