Welcome to the Power Play hub. Here you’ll find the most talked‑about stories that are shaking up the continent right now.

Sports Highlights That Keep You on the Edge
Last weekend, Napoli edged Pisa 3‑2 in a Serie A thriller, with Lorenzo Lucca scoring the decisive goal. The win kept Napoli at the top of the table and gave fans a taste of what’s possible when a team clicks. Over in South Africa, the Oklahoma City Thunder shocked the Indiana Pacers in NBA Finals Game 2, thanks to Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander’s 34 points. The series is now tied, and every game feels like a must‑watch.
Back on the African scene, Kaizer Chiefs settled for a 1‑1 draw with Marumo Gallants at the FNB Stadium. New signing Mayo opened the scoring, but a late penalty miss left the Chiefs with unfinished business. If you follow the Betway Premiership, that draw could be the turning point for both teams as they chase continental spots.
Energy & Business Moves Shaping the Continent
Kenya Power announced a fresh tender for 2,555 transformers. The move aims to lock in new connections and replace vandalised units as demand rises 10 % each year. The government has earmarked $33 million for the upgrade, meaning more reliable electricity for homes and businesses alike.
In South Africa’s Berg River Valley, a pilot with Eskom is giving farmers a way around loadshedding. By pairing solar panels with battery storage and smart irrigation, the project is already cutting power cuts and boosting crop yields. Farmers say the model could be rolled out to other rural areas facing the same energy crunch.
On the corporate front, Kenvue’s stock bounced back after a brief dip caused by a political claim linking Tylenol to autism. The company quickly refuted the claim with solid scientific evidence, reassuring investors that the product remains a revenue driver.
These stories illustrate how power—whether on the field or in the grid—can change outcomes fast. Keep an eye on the trends, because a single win or a new transformer can ripple through the whole economy.
