This year’s Tokyo Olympics will not feature Usain Bolt, arguably regarded as the fastest human being on earth. The last time that the Jamaican contested in any competition was in the last 50 meters of the 4x100m at the 2017 world championships. He ended his glittering career, much to the disappointment of his followers, after...
Major League Baseball made the announcement Friday, writing that -- with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic -- the annual game between the American League and the National League wouldn't be possible this year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were supposed to host the game this year, but will now host in 2022 instead.
\"I want to thank the Dodgers organization and the City of Los Angeles for being collaborative partners in the early stages of All-Star preparation and for being patient and understanding in navigating the uncertainty created by the pandemic,\" said Baseball Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. in a statement. \"The 2022 All-Star celebration promises to be a memorable one with events throughout the city and at picturesque Dodger Stadium.\"
This is not the first time the All-Star game, also known as the Midsummer Classic, has been canceled. In 1945, the game was canceled amidst strict travel restrictions during the war.
The MLB season is scheduled to resume later this month -- on either the 23rd or the 24th -- and players reported to training camp this week. Typically, the season would have started in late March or early April, but the coronavirus made that impossible.
There will be some changes to the season, though, most notably the lack of roaring fans and the ban on spitting.

EXILED former G40 kingpins, Jonathan Moyo and Saviour Kasukuwere have said the only option available for suffering Zimbabweans in getting rid of the current Zanu PF government was staging “a popular revolution”. By Own Correspondent Moyo said mass uprisings remained the only viable option under the circumstances given that pursuing legal options to challenge the legitimacy of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who rose to power through a military coup in 2017, would be an exercise in futility. Speaking on Thursday during a public debate organised by Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition (CiZC) under the topic Operation Restore Legacy: Unpacking the democratic transition in Zimbabwe, Moyo described Mnangagwa’s government as an unconstitutional military State. “The matter of challenging it (legitimacy of the current government) in court is a dead one because it has been dealt with although controversially by Chief Justice Luke Malaba in July 2018,” Moyo said. “We all know that a military coup is unconstitutional, its essence is to overthrow the Constitution. “The only way of dealing with a military government is through a popular revolution. You cannot have reforms that are progressive or democratic in a military State.” He said Zimbabweans find themselves in a difficult position given the fact that the military coup of November 2017 was supported by opposition political parties and civic society organisations. Exiled former Zanu PF national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere said there was an imperative need for Zimbabweans to organise, not agonise. “The time has come. It is a fact that they will use any means necessary to silence the masses but that is the nature of any struggle. We need freedom; we need a better country and let’s fight this struggle from every angle,” Kasukuwere said. “Let us take the battle straight to the administration. Each and every day, they must start to understand the pain in our society. The collective aspirations of the people of Zimbabwe will be much greater a force than any other thing; whether they are guns or arrests. Either we organise or we agonise forever.” Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions president Peter Mutasa said Zimbabwe was now “a military State”. National Patriotic Front spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire called for regional and international support in facilitating dialogue in Zimbabwe, adding that security sector reform was equally important. Mawarire blasted Mnangagwa for surrounding himself with corrupt individuals. During the November 2017 coup dubbed Operation Restore Legacy, the military claimed they were targeting criminals around the late former President Robert Mugabe. “But we still have criminals surrounding the current President and these criminals are even in his house,” Mawarire said. Civic society organisations under the banner of Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition are on record calling for “a genuine all-stakeholders dialogue” as a way of addressing the myriad of challenges currently confronting Zimbabwe.
By AAMER MADHANI Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is set to meet Monday with a group of 10 Republican senators who have proposed spending about one-third of the $1.9 trillion he is seeking in coronavirus aid, though congressional Democrats are poised to move ahead without Republican support. An invitation to the White House came hours after the lawmakers sent Biden a letter Sunday urging him to negotiate rather than try to ram through his relief package solely on Democratic votes. The House and Senate are on track to vote as soon as this week on a budget […]

BY WINSTONE ANTONIO MBIRA Centre and Mbira Festival founder Albert Chimedza (pictured) is set to host the virtual Pan African Mbira fest from September 15 to 30 as part of the mbira month commemorations. Mbira is a thumb piano used in many African traditional celebrations. Chimedza said the festival was a celebration, through music, of Africa’s diverse cultural expressions. “Our music has evolved, transformed and given birth to many new music forms, cultures and traditions across the continents. Globally, many forms of music are direct products of, or are heavily influenced by African’s musical roots,” he said. “Our music is the umbilical cord that connects us across borders and continents. The digital age has made this possible. It is borderless, ignores geographic separation and, makes it possible for us to become significant authors of our own presence on the internet.” Chimedza said the festival that has so far received entries from 19 countries was also a platform on which Africans can in their own voices and digital spaces showcase their work, discover each other and collaborate. “Internationally, African musical instruments such as Balafon, Djembe, Kora, Mbira Nyatiti and Udu are making a noticeable global imprint on the music diets of many cultures. Sadly much of this growth is occurring and mostly being leveraged outside the continent,” he said. “Pan African Mbira Festival celebrates the richness and diversity of African musical instruments, increases African-generated digital music content on the internet and provides a digital platform for intra-African music collaboration.” Chimedza said due to the overwhelming response, they extended the submission deadline of participants who are required to send entries of projects such as music performances, dance, audio visual exhibitions, photo exhibitions and podcasts they feel deserve to be brought to the attention of people from their countries. Other artistes expected to perform at the festival are Tunde Dawodu and Gerald Eze (Nigeria), Rapasa Nyatrapasa (Kenya), Larry Mhlanga (Swaziland), Savanna Madamombe and Jomo Faulks (United States of America), Parfait Pabapsi (Cameroon), Albert Chimedza, Tendayi Gahamadze and Tafadzwa Gwiri (Zimbabwe), Moaku Matia Maiwan and Alex Biocel (Canada).
