  • South Sudan's Historic Olympic Victory: Basketball Team Triumphs Over Puerto Rico | Xtrafrica

    South Sudan's Historic Olympic Victory: Basketball Team Triumphs Over Puerto Rico louis Buyisiwe Jul 29, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link South Sudan's basketball player drives to the basket against Puerto Rico during their historic Olympic victory on July 28, 2024 A Historic Win in Villeneuve-d'Ascq The South Sudanese basketball team achieved a historic milestone on Sunday, July 28, 2024, by securing their first-ever Olympic victory against Puerto Rico with a score of 90-79. This momentous game took place at the Pierre Mauroy stadium in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, a suburb of Lille. Early Setbacks and Organizer Apologies Before the game began, an error by the organizers played the wrong national anthem, leaving the South Sudanese players visibly unsettled. The organizing committee later issued a heartfelt apology to the South Sudan team and its supporters, acknowledging the significance of the mistake and pledging to investigate the error to prevent future occurrences. Despite this early setback, the correct anthem was eventually played, allowing the game to commence. Overcoming a Rocky Start Initially, the South Sudanese team struggled, missing easy shots while Puerto Rico capitalized with successful three-pointers. However, demonstrating remarkable resilience and collective strength, the "Bright Stars" rallied to overturn the deficit and secure a 90-79 victory. This win is a testament to their extraordinary teamwork, reminiscent of their impressive performance in the recent World Cup. United by Shared Struggles and Triumph The players' unity is rooted in their shared backgrounds and personal stories. Many of them, including Wenyen Gabriel who relocated to Cairo at just two weeks old, have faced significant challenges, such as fleeing conflict in their homeland. Their success brought tears of joy to South Sudanese fans, who celebrated emotionally around the stadium, proud of their team's achievement. Dreams of Greater Success The victory has ignited dreams of further success for South Sudan, with only 12 basketball teams competing in the Olympics and eight advancing to the quarter-finals. Even a third-place finish behind Serbia and the United States could be enough to propel the "Bright Stars" into the next stage. Looking Ahead to the Next Challenge Their next game is scheduled for Wednesday against the United States, the four-time defending champions. In a recent preparation match, South Sudan narrowly lost to the Americans by just one point, raising hopes for another strong performance. This historic win not only elevates the South Sudanese basketball team on the global stage but also inspires a nation and a continent to dream bigger.

  • Harmonize Sparks Debate, Questions Diamond’s Grammy Eligibility | Xtrafrica

    Harmonize Sparks Debate, Questions Diamond’s Grammy Eligibility Prince Jean Nov 27, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Harmonize addressing his views on Diamond Platnumz and Grammy Awards eligibility. Harmonize has openly criticized Diamond Platnumz, saying he is not at the level to compete in the Grammy Awards. Diamond had applied for nominations in categories like 'Best Music Video' and 'Best Music Performance,' but he was not shortlisted. Harmonize expressed doubt about Diamond's eligibility for such awards. He said, "You can’t win a Grammy just by greeting people. I know what it takes to win those awards. It needs exceptional and unique people creating for you." Although Diamond is popular in Tanzania, Harmonize argued that gaining international recognition is still a challenge for him because it requires genuine talent and dedication. He added, "They don’t care about who you are; they only listen to music. That’s why I know I’ll be at the Grammy Awards in 2025 or 2026, and I’ll win." These comments sparked debates on social media. While Diamond hasn’t responded, one fan said, "Diamond is a role model. He doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone." The rivalry between the two artists dates back to 2019 when Harmonize left Wasafi Records , a label owned by Diamond. He paid 500 million Tanzanian shillings (around 259 million Rwandan Francs) to exit the contract and since then, their relationship has been marked by public disagreements.

  • Northern Senators debated Tax Reform Bills aimed at easing tax burdens, boosting local revenue | Xtrafrica

    Northern Senators debated Tax Reform Bills aimed at easing tax burdens, boosting local revenue Chinedu Bruce Nov 29, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Northern Senators Discuss Tax Reform Bills Behind Closed Doors After Second Reading Northern Senators held a two-hour closed-door meeting on Thursday after the Senate passed the controversial Tax Reform Bills for a second reading. The meeting, chaired by Senator Abdulaziz Yar’Adua, yielded no public comments, leaving details undisclosed. Earlier in the day, the Senate instructed its Finance Committee to invite governors, traditional rulers, and other stakeholders for a public hearing on the bills, which aim to streamline tax laws and ease the burden on small businesses. These bills, introduced by President Bola Tinubu in October, include the Joint Revenue Board Bill , Nigeria Revenue Service Bill , and Nigeria Tax Bill . Critics, including northern governors, have opposed the bills, calling them "anti-democratic." The National Economic Council (NEC) previously recommended withdrawing the bills to allow for more consultations, with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde emphasizing the need for alignment among stakeholders. Despite opposition, the Senate resumed debates, led by Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, who outlined the proposed reforms. These include: Increasing states’ share of VAT to 55% while reducing the Federal Government's to 10%. Exempting minimum wage earners and small businesses earning below ₦50 million annually from taxes. Lowering corporate tax from 30% to 25% for two years. Consolidating multiple taxes into a 2% development levy to fund student loans. The reforms aim to simplify taxation, boost local revenue, and reduce economic inequality. Key exemptions include essential goods like food, medical services, and education fees. Support for the bills came from several senators, including Minority Leader Abba Moro and Senator Seriake Dickson. Dickson highlighted the need for fiscal fairness, proposing that taxes generated in states like Bayelsa be retained there, rather than at company headquarters. He also criticized the "multiplicity of taxes" stifling economic activity. However, Senator Ali Ndume opposed the timing of the bills, arguing for earlier consultations and addressing foundational issues like constitutional amendments. He cautioned against taxing small businesses at the same rate as large corporations. Senator Tahir Mongunu countered, emphasizing that public hearings would address stakeholders’ concerns transparently. Ultimately, the Senate passed the bills for a second reading and referred them to the Finance Committee for review. Senate President Godswill Akpabio assured that all voices would be heard during public hearings before the bills undergo final consideration.

  • Morocco to Surpass South Africa as Africa's Top Vehicle Producer in 2024: Fitch Solutions | Xtrafrica

    Morocco to Surpass South Africa as Africa's Top Vehicle Producer in 2024: Fitch Solutions Ayize claire Jul 28, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link An automotive production line in a factory, showcasing several partially assembled vehicles A recent report by Fitch Solutions predicts that Morocco will overtake South Africa as Africa's largest vehicle production base in 2024. The report credits Morocco's growth to significant investments, particularly in electric vehicle (EV) projects, which are expected to boost local production. According to the forecast, Morocco's vehicle production, including passenger and light commercial vehicles, will reach nearly 614,000 units in 2024. In contrast, South Africa's output is projected to decline to 591,000 units due to poor logistics and rising vehicle imports. Morocco's strategic location near the EU, robust trade agreements , and efficient logistics infrastructure are key drivers of automotive investment. The development of a local EV supply chain and investment from Chinese OEMs are also significant factors. Fitch Solutions projects an annual production growth rate of 6.8% through 2033, reaching 1.09 million units. The report notes that while Morocco's automotive industry is heavily export-oriented towards the EU, expanding trade through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and free trade agreements with the US, UK, and the Middle East will mitigate risks. In contrast, South Africa's automotive industry faces numerous challenges, including emissions, labor, trade, and transport issues, which deter investment. Poor port performance and competition from Chinese and Indian OEMs are expected to hinder local production. Fitch Solutions forecasts a modest 0.9% annual growth for South Africa's vehicle output through 2033, reaching 687,000 units. The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism could further exacerbate South Africa's challenges, given its reliance on coal and inefficient logistics, discouraging investment and hindering electrification progress.
