  • A Street Named Bi Pendo,How to Write About
    A Street Named Bi Pendo By Carey Baraka “Memory is short-lived/And more important instead/That streets are well-laid/Flowing and uncongested.” — Jonathan Kariara, Naming Streets in Nairobi The main road that runs through Kisumu is called Jomo Kenyatta Highway. Named after the country’s first president, the road divides the town in a North-South axis that runs from Patel Flats (where it stops being Kakamega Road) to the State Lodge in Milimani. In fact, one might argue that it is the spine of the city, in the sense of it being the central nervous system and the other roads feeding off it. In other words, cut off this road from either end (at Kondele or at the intersection with Busia Road) and you have killed Kisumu. During the 2017 electoral period, Jomo Kenyatta Highway was the epicentre of several violent clashes between opposition supporters and police officers. A general election had been held on 8 August and the main candidates in the presidential election were the incumbent, Uhuru Kenyatta of the Jubilee Party, and Raila Odinga of the NASA coalition. On 9 August, as tallying was ongoing, Odinga announced that the elections database had been hacked and the results were being manipulated in favour of his opponent, and that the hacker had used the credentials of Chris Msando, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ICT manager who had been murdered less than two weeks to the election. Odinga said, “What the IEBC has posted is a complete fraud . to give Uhuru Kenyatta votes that were not cast .

  • University of Birmingham Athletes on the Road to Rio
    University of Birmingham Sport press release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE University of Birmingham athletes on the road to Rio One current student and eight alumni athletes from the University of Birmingham Sport have now been confirmed for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. This is a record breaking number of Birmingham educated athletes to be selected for the Olympics, showing that the sport programme at Birmingham continues to thrive. Lily Owsley, who currently studies Sport and Exercise Science has already made headlines worldwide this year. She was part of the England hockey squad who won the European Championships, as well as being named Rising Star of the Year by the International Hockey Federation. Owsley has achieved all this in a year where she was taken ill with meningitis and fractured her collar bone in a match against Australia. Also joining Lily on the Team GB women’s hockey squad at the Rio Olympics will be University of Birmingham alumni Sophie Bray and Ellie Watton (reserve). Simon Mantell, who graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2007, has been selected for the Team GB men’s hockey squad as a reserve. One of the University of Birmingham Sport’s most successful alumni of recent years, Non Stanford, who took up triathlon in her second year at University and then went on to become ITU World U23 Champion in 2013, will also be representing Team GB. Stanford, who trains alongside the Brownlee brothers, has been marked as a medal contender making Team GB’s triathlon team a force to be reckoned with. Non Stanford’s University housemate, Sara Treacy, has also been selected to represent Ireland in the 3000m steeplechase.

  • Cheetahs Want to Repay the Hospitality

Selfs toe ek ’n vergardering oor die Pro 14 in Londen bygewoon het, was die mense opgewonde. Ons het goeie nuwe vriende gemaak en het selfs mense wat wil kom kuier, ontmoet,” sê Verster. Verster maak dit duidelik dat die Pro 14 op’n baie hoër vlak as die Super Rugby-toernooi gespeel word en dat die manne vinnig sal moet aanpas. “Ek dink ons het die Pro 14-toernooi onderskat. Dit sou ideaal wees as die Cheetahs ’n jaar se voorbereiding gehad het, maar ek verstaan ons sou dan heelwat spelers verloor het. Hulle moes aanpas teen die spoed van wit lig, maar hul sal vir seker hul voete die naweek op hul tuisveld vind. “Ons het nou klaar die twee monsterspanne, Munster en Ulster, in die Pro 14 gespeel en ek A few of the players that we will be seeing in action during the Guinness Pro14: (L-R) Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Tiernan O’Halloran (Connacht), dink van hier kan ons moontlik die lig begin CJ Stander (Munster), Dan Lydiate (Ospreys), Ryan Wilson (Glasgow Warriors), Tommaso Castello (Zebre) and Niell Jordaan (Toyota Cheetahs) PHOTO: BILLY STICKLAND sien.

  • Not African Enough: Fashioning Africaness and Documenting The
    Binyavanga Wainaina: The Writer Who Democratised Kenya’s Literary Space By Rasna Warah “Some birds should never be caged, their feathers are too bright. But when one such is finally set free, something inside of you sings that knows it was wrong to cage it in the first place.” – Red in Shawshank Redemption I first met Binyavanga Wainana in 2002 – an election year in Kenya when a hopeful country was looking forward to removing an authoritarian regime and ushering in a brave new world. He had just returned from South Africa and was scouting around for ideas for a literary journal that he hoped to establish to revive the dying (if not dead) literary scene in Kenya. It was during these heady days—when it seemed that anything was possible – that Binya, as he was fondly called, came back home like a gust of fresh air that sweeps through a damp, mouldy room and changes the atmosphere. His enthusiasm was infectious. He could mesmerise an audience so much so that many aspiring writers, including myself, who never imagined having a literary career, began writing their own stories, in their own voices, with no apologies. With the launch of his brainchild, the literary journal Kwani?, in 2003, he unveiled talented and previously closeted writers who had been silenced not just by a government afraid of creatives, but by a stodgy old school literary fraternity that saw no value or merit in the writings of those they deemed to be too unschooled or undisciplined. As the blogger and academic Wandia Njoya stated in a tweet shortly after his death, Binyavanga “liberated our art from the literature police in Kenyan universities”.
