I usually refuse to even share things like this & believe in not giving space to anything so biased but I was interviewed for hours and we discussed sports and the development of sports/basketball in Africa. I took my time to explain both our context and ambitions as an African sports owner and as a Rwandan. He was focused on the most colonial question, "Why invest in sports [infrastructure] when you are so poor?" And my response was: jobs. And also why not? He asked me a lot of questions about President Kagame and I know he interviewed others. Not a single comment we made appears anywhere. I'm talking about athletes, owners etc. But Mama Machete gets a whole 10,000 words. This article wasn't about the growing African sports industry or basketball or even the NBA. There is a narrative at play here and it's not just about PK. It's the same narrative pushed about our neighbors to the far East. The world has changed. Africa will make money from sports. We need strong and visionary leaders to translate that for our people. And we need Leaders who will not cower. Imana y'i Rwanda izakomeza iturinde irinde n'Umusaza.
