#CAFElections: Africans On Twitter Expose International Media Hypocrisy Over The Topple Of Issa Hayatou To End 29year Reign Over African Football

When news broke out of Madagascar's Ahmed Ahmed's victory in the CAF elections to end 29year reign of Issa Hayatou, initial reports by international media outlets spoke of "a lot being achieved" under the Cameroonian's leadership. So strong was this narrative that it appeared Africa once again had done something African. Something inexplicable. This, quite in contrast to celebrations online best exemplified by these tweets that come only second to the hoist and shoulder high carry of Ahmed Ahmed by South African (region not country) CAF delegates once news of  the 34-20 win broke.

Dynamos Overcome in form CAPS United to Claim The Harare Derby

Twelve hours after Mayweather's cheque day, 30,000 are in their blue, and green with white. 5 dollars a ticket, US dollars, in Mugabe's Zimbabwe.

This is the Harare Derby. Dynamos FC host CAPS United. 21st Century Romans are gathered at the colloseum to cheer on the gladiators. As far as Derbies go, on the box next to fans, its a check.
Now for the controversies, the immortalization of players and finally, the bragging rights. For CAPS United, the new crop, most just an year thereabouts playing for the Green and Whites,a chance to correct the record: CAPS fans wait 53 months on for a victory.

A fast paced game. At 8 minutes, 5 or so half chances shared evenly between the two Zimbabwean sides. Dynamos FC's Pakamisa is already candidate for Villian having missed a sitter. The swahili translation for his name would be something like Cat (paka) Mass (misa-as in the type of mass that takes place in cathedrals)...Just saying.
