In a statement, Ujiri disclosed that the festival will bring together 320 young athletes from 20 African nations and more than 20,000 spectators for a week of community, culture, basketball, education, and entertainment.
This year’s Giants of Africa Festival will be a celebration of basketball, entertainment, and service to the community.
The week-long festival will be held in Kigali, Rwanda, from July 26 to August 2, with such stars as Kizz Daniel, Uncle Waffles, Timaya, and others lined up to spice the show.
Giants of Africa is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering African youth through basketball.
It was founded by Nigeria’s Masai Ujiri, who is the Vice-Chairman and President of the Toronto Raptors Basketball Club of Canada, which plays in the NBA.
In a statement, Ujiri disclosed that the festival will bring together 320 young athletes from 20 African nations and more than 20,000 spectators for a week of community, culture, basketball, education, and entertainment.
” The festival will unite communities, spark potential, and drive transformative change across the continent. Explaining the year’s celebration, Ujiri said in a statement: “Like these kids, I grew up on the continent. As Africans, we know the landscape and what the kids go through.
We know they dream just like we did, and it really inspires me because those kids have so much more talent and intelligence; they have ways to communicate now that we didn’t.
This festival is about showing them that there is a path. We want them to never stop dreaming.”

Ugandan Man With 120 Wives,102 Children ,568 Grandchildren, Says He’s Done With Child Bearing
He now fears sneezing near his wives — because that’s how baby number 103 might start.
After turning his house into a full-blown secondary school with 102 children, an Ugandan man has finally retired from “ministry of multiplication.”
Why? Because garri don cost and even the calculator is tired of counting school fees.
The man confessed: I love children, but the electricity bill alone is quite exhausting, I don’t know whether my children are eating or drinking the electricity as it finishes daily
He reportedly held a “final family meeting” where he begged his wives to “rest small” and even considered printing “We’re Full” on their gate.
He now fears sneezing near his wives — because that’s how baby number 103 might start.

France’s Canal+ set to take over DStv, GOtv owner MultiChoice
“This is a major step forward in our ambition to create a global media and entertainment company with Africa at its heart,” Canal+ CEO Maxime Saada said in a statement.
South Africa’s competition authority announced Wednesday it had approved the buyout of Africa’s largest pay TV enterprise MultiChoice by France’s Canal+, which wants to expand its footprint on the continent.
The merger, which has been in the works for nearly a year, needs the final go-ahead from the commission’s Competition Tribunal, it said in a statement.
Canal+ holds around 45 percent of MultiChoice’s shares and offered last year to acquire the remainder for 125 rand (6.16 euro) per share.
Canal+ is present in 25 African countries through 16 subsidiaries and has eight million subscribers, according to the French group.
MultiChoice operates in 50 countries across sub-Saharan Africa and has 19.3 million subscribers, it says.
It includes Africa’s premier sports broadcaster, SuperSport, and the DStv satellite television service.
“This is a major step forward in our ambition to create a global media and entertainment company with Africa at its heart,” Canal+ CEO Maxime Saada said in a statement.
