BY HENRY MHARA THE African Nations Championships (Chan) tournament begins today in Yaoundé, Cameroon, with Zimbabwe opening their bid to win the tournament for the first time since its inauguration in 2009. Coach Zdravko Logarušić expects his men to shake off the rust that has come with a year of inactivity and “defy the odds,” as the Croat put it in an interview this week. But defying those odds would depend on the Warriors getting a good start, according to star midfielder Denver Mukamba. The team has generally been slow starters at Chan, and the Ngezi Platinum Stars midfielder expects the squad to shed that tag when they face off with hosts in the tournament’s curtain raiser at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium this evening. Kick off is 6pm Zimbabwe time. Zimbabwe have not won any of their opening matches in the four previous Chan editions that they have participated, but Mukamba, one of the senior players in the team, expects this squad to reverse that trend. “Starting the tournament well is key in how we will perform going forward. Imagine what a victory against the hosts in the opening match would do to our confidence,” Mukamba said, exuding confidence. “Our stay here will depend on the result that we will get tomorrow, so we will have to work hard and try to do our best.” The Warriors’ preparations for the tournament were far from ideal. Logarušić was forced to pick players who were inactive for a whole year after last season’s league campaign was written off due to coronavirus. Then as the team was beginning to intensify their preparations, COVID-19 hit their camp, affecting nine players and six officials, resulting in discontinuation of training. Training only resumed on Saturday after the players and officials had returned negative results following a retest. Despite experiencing such hiccups, Mukamba believes they can still manage to hold their own in a group that also has Burkina Faso and Mali, two teams that Zimbabwe have met in previous editions. “We didn’t have the best of preparations, but that should not be a big issue. We have to work around that problem. The main thing for us would be lack of fitness since we haven’t played competitive matches in a long time. So for us, game management will be key,” he said. “We will have to try and play the game at our own pace, knowing when to attack and to slow down things. We can’t take these teams toe to toe, especially in these early stages of the competition since our fitness is not yet up there. Remember, most of the teams have been competitive and are better equipped physically.” Mukamba also wants to play well in this tournament for other reasons. “This is a chance for us to show the world what we can do and possibly get contracts abroad. We know the opening match will attract a lot of attention, so we can only do ourselves a favour by playing well. You never know who will be watching these matches. We have spoken about this in camp, so will play with this at the back of our mind.” A number of football scouts, especially from Europe, are expected to invade Camer

Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical (Alabama A & M) University is a historically black university located in the city of Normal, Alabama. The school began in 1875 when Alabama officials used the Morrill Act of 1862 allowing state governments to establish colleges for African American students. Alabama A&M University was one of the first seventeen new land-grant black institutions founded under the Morrill Act.
When the school opened in 1875 it was called Huntsville Normal School and was located in Huntsville, Alabama. The school began with 61 students and two teachers. In 1878 it developed an industrial education program, which attracted private donors such as the Slater and Peabody Funds that provided crucial financial support. The success of the industrial education program led the school to petition the state for a name change to State Normal and Industrial School at Huntsville. The Alabama legislature also approved an increase in its funding to $4,000 per year from the original $1,000 a year.
Under the second Morrill Act in 1890, the institution received government land-grant funds for the first time, allowing its students to study agriculture and mechanical arts. That same year, the school’s campus relocated to Normal, Alabama, a few miles north of downtown Huntsville. In 1896 it was renamed the State Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes.
In 1919, the school became accredited as a junior college and was renamed again, this time as the State Agricultural and Mechanical Institute for Negroes. Twenty years later in 1939, the institution became a four-year college and two years later awarded its first undergraduate baccalaureate degrees. In 1948, the school’s name changed to Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College and finally to Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University in 1969.
Nicknamed “The Hill,” the university now enrolls over 4,500 undergraduate students. With over 800 graduate students, Alabama A&M University has one of the largest graduate schools among the nations
