Unapologetically critical. I question power, expose hypocrisy, and reject blind loyalty. If that unsettles you good. It means you're finally thinking.

BREAKING: UEFA have announced Somali referee Omar Artan will take charge of the 2026 Super Cup Final between Aston Villa and PSG in Salzburg.

[UEFA @UEFA]

🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!

We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

The Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, selected by @FIFAWorldCup and distinguished by CAF as the best African referee of 2025, was rejected upon arriving in the United States at Miami airport and deported back to Istanbul.

This World Cup is the worst.

Well done to the Mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, for speaking out against the discriminatory visa policy that has seen Africa’s top referee and several football coaches denied entry into the United States.

Shame on FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, who seems more interested in currying favour with Donald Trump than standing up for football and the principles of fairness and inclusion that the game is supposed to represent.

FIFA has failed spectacularly and turned this World Cup into a laughing stock. A global tournament cannot claim to represent the world while excluding some of the very people who make the game possible.

The Zimbabwean Parliament has adjourned until tomorrow.

This is ZANUPF Member of Parliament Perseverance Zhou.
This is the quality of debate that unfolded this afternoon in Zimbabwe’s Parliament as MPs debated the controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, which seeks to extend Mnangagwa’s term of office to 2030.

It was a bootlicking festival led by the President’s most enthusiastic sycophants.

In this video, she compares Emmerson Mnangagwa to French football superstar Kylian Mbappé and argues that Mnangagwa should not step down in 2028 when his term of office ends. Using a football analogy, she suggests that Mnangagwa should not be stopped because he is already in the 18-yard box and close to scoring.

This is what Zimbabwe’s constitutional debate has been reduced to. Instead of discussing the long-term implications of altering the Constitution, strengthening democratic institutions, and protecting the principle of term limits, Parliament is being treated to football analogies designed to justify extending the tenure of a sitting president.

Whether one supports or opposes Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3, Zimbabweans should expect a higher standard of debate from lawmakers entrusted with shaping the country’s constitutional future.

Since FIFA said they'd be in touch about making this official, I just gotta say that I really couldn't think of anyone better to represent the World Cup than the guy who's spent the last three years promoting and learning the world's cultures and breaking stereotypes around them

You might need to respect Linda. If she was truly your friend, don’t use her to fight your other battles. It serves no one, it achieves nothing & if she is abused by some uncouth ones under this tweet, you probably enabled it.

Thank you for everything, @anthonygordon. Wishing you all the very best for the future 🫶

Oscar Pambuka is not just a brilliant broadcaster, he is also a brilliant interviewer. He has a calm way of getting people to relax, and then, without raising his voice or creating drama, he quietly pierces through the story and gets people to reveal far more than they intended.

This latest interview with Potato is another cracker.

But the one that still stands out for me is the 2016 interview with the current Zimbabwean ambassador to Mozambique, Victor Matemadanda. That interview was fascinating because Oscar allowed him enough space to speak freely while still steering the conversation in a way that exposed the deeper political story underneath.

That is the mark of a very good interviewer. The best interviews do not feel like interrogations. They feel like conversations, and before the guest realises it, the real story is already out.
