The 98th Mashemeji Derby: AFC Leopards Silence Proud Gor in Derby Drama

Sunday, December 7, 2025 — the grand old rivalry of Kenyan football once again lit up Nyayo National Stadium, as AFC Leopards stunned arch-rivals and hosts, Gor Mahia, by the narrowest but most telling of margins: 1–0. From the kick-off, the stakes were obvious. This was the 98th chapter in a storied derby,  a match long postponed because of stadium availability issues and competition prep for international tournaments. Gor Mahia, bearing the hopes of their fans and intending to turn […]

Written by Edwin Agesa on Monday, 28 November 2025. In any thriving music ecosystem, DJs and artists operate like two sides of the same coin. One creates the sound, the other amplifies it. In Kenya, however, this relationship has often felt disconnected, with DJs leaning heavily toward foreign music, especially South African, Nigerian, and American hits, while local artists struggle to get consistent visibility on the decks.

The song didn't […]
