Pan-African firm Centurion Law Group (www.CenturionLG.com) will be instituting multiple legal claims in various jurisdictions against Delfin Mocache Massoko, Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and Corrupt Spanish Police Commissioner José Villarejo. According to Spanish prosecutors, Corrupt Spanish Police Commissioner Jose Villarejo received 5.3m Euros to engage in a spying expedition and smear campaign of African officials and businesses. This was wrong and illegal. The work of OCCRP, Espacios Europeos, Delfin Mocache Massoko, Diario Rombe are a textbook strategy of the execution of Mr José Villarejo’s Project King. A great example of this project has been sensationalist stories and headlines such as (http://bit.ly/3btEOio) of “Mbega Obiang Lima tenia previsto enviar dos contenedores de dinero a Santo Tomé y Príncipe.” This nonsense has to stop and they must be held accountable. https://bit.ly/3sRuTsd These ongoing defamatory statements, misrepresentations and attacks on Africans, their families and businesses have to be brought to account. We want to thank the numerous activists that have come forward with considerable information. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Centurion Law Group.Media filesDownload logo

Team Qhubeka ASSOS (www.TeamQhubeka.com) has named an exciting lineup for Paris-Nice which starts on Sunday, featuring a return for Giacomo Nizzolo, who took a stunning stage victory at the race in 2020, and a debut for Colombia’s Sergio Henao. The eight-stage race is expected to feature a number of sprint opportunities which will see the European and Italian champion ably supported by the now familiar faces of compatriot Matteo Pelucchi and Germany&#39;s Max Walscheid. Nizzolo sprinted to a hugely impressive victory on stage two of the 2020 edition of this race and it will once again serve as an important event looking ahead to the rest of the season. Time trialist Victor Campenaerts, who has been in excellent form, will have his eye on what the 14.4km effort in stage three will provide in his favoured discipline. The later stages around Nice will see the general classification decided and it&#39;s here that the climbing skills of Fabio Aru, supported by Sander Armee and a debut ride from Henao, will come for the fore. The impressive Colombian is the first rider ever from that country to ride for our team and we&#39;re excited to see what he is able to not just in this race but for the season to come. We&#39;d like to extend a huge &#8220;thank you&#8221; to Rodrigo Mota Garrido for submitting his video to announce our team for Paris-Nice. You can watch that here (https://bit.ly/3rlIffV). Our team has been doing this initiative since the start of the season and look forward to continuing to look at ways to bring our incredible fans closer to the team they support. Paris-Nice line-up [squad numbers]: 	Giacomo Nizzolo [33] 	Fabio Aru [21] 	Sergio Henao [10] 	Sander Armée [32] 	Victor Campenaerts [55] 	Matteo Pelucchi [27] 	Max Walscheid [13] Giacomo Nizzolo Paris-Nice is obviously one of the toughest races of the year &#8211; always stressful and always raced with a high rhythm. I think it will be very important as the next step towards the goals that follow, starting with Milan-Sanremo so it&#39;s a race that&#39;s definitely very important for the Classics as well. We&#39;re looking forward to being there, to put some work, kilometres and quality into the legs and trying to be sharp and score some results in the sprint stages. Sergio Henao I&#39;m am so happy to finally be back in Europe and to be starting the season with Team Qhubeka ASSOS at Paris-Nice. I can&#39;t wait to get racing with my new team and look forward to playing my part in contributing to our team&#39;s goals, and working towards the success of the team. Gabriele Missaglia &#8211; Sports Director As we&#39;ve seen the team race so far, we want to ensure overall that we try and play the best possible part we can in the race and race as a team. This has been a key feature starting with what we spoke about during our training camp and something that we will continue at Paris-Nice. How will we do that? Well, in Giacomo we have a rider who has already won a race this season, and who won a stage here in 2020. We will fully support him in the stages we feel he can contest while Victor and Max will be looking to putting in really strong time trial performances on stage three. They&#39;ve both been riding really well, so I&#39;m excited about what they can offer us. For the general classification we have a strong group in Fabio, Sander and Sergio. It&#39;s great to finally have the latter link up with us and we know that he can be an important rider for the season to come so it will be interesting to see what his level is at the moment.Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Team Qhubeka ASSOS.Media Contact: Jean Smyth (Head of Communications) Email: jean@ryder.co.za Mobile: +27 63 4701 1710 or +31 625 739 033 About Team Qhubeka ASSOS: Team Qhubeka ASSOS (TeamQhubeka.com) is a purpose-led, high-performance team, fighting to win on the world&#39;s biggest stage, to inspire hope and create opportunity.

Team LeBron: Drafts Giannis Antetokounmpo No. 1 Overall;  Stephen Curry, Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić Complete Starting Lineup ; Team Durant: Drafts Kyrie Irving No. 2 Overall; Joel Embiid, Kawhi Leonard, Bradley Beal and Jayson Tatum Complete Starting Lineup ; Team LeBron to Play for Thurgood Marshall College Fund; Team Durant to Play for UNCF (United Negro College Fund). Captains LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers and Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets have selected the team rosters for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game, which will be played on Sunday, March 7 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The rosters for Team LeBron and Team Durant were revealed last night in TNT’s presentation of the NBA All-Star Draft (https://bit.ly/3eb16H5). Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was selected by James with the first overall pick in the NBA All-Star Draft. Joining Antetokounmpo and James as Team LeBron starters are Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Dončić and Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić. Team LeBron’s reserves are Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons, Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul, Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, LA Clippers forward Paul George, Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis and Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert. Nets guard Kyrie Irving was drafted by Durant with the second overall pick in the NBA All-Star Draft. In addition to Irving, Durant selected 76ers center Joel Embiid, Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard, Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal and Celtics forward Jayson Tatum as starters. Tatum, voted to the NBA All-Star Game as a reserve, was drafted with the starters as a replacement for Durant, who is unable to play in the game. The reserves drafted by Durant are Nets guard James Harden, Suns guard Devin Booker, New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, New York Knicks forward Julius Randle, Orlando Magic center Nikola Vučević and Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell. Lakers forward Anthony Davis, unable to play in the NBA All-Star Game, has been assigned to Team Durant because the player who replaced him (Booker) was selected by Team Durant. NBA All-Star 2021 will take place on one night, with the Taco Bell® Skills Challenge and MTN DEW® 3-Point Contest starting at 1:30 a.m. CAT on March 8. The 70th NBA All-Star Game will begin at 3 a.m. CAT, and AT&#038;T Slam Dunk will take place at halftime. NBA All-Star 2021 will reach fans in 215 countries and territories in more than 50 languages. In the NBA All-Star Draft, James and Durant drafted the team rosters from the pool of players voted as starters and reserves in each conference. The two captains selected the starters in the first round and the reserves in the second round, making their picks without regard to a player’s conference affiliation or position. As the top overall finisher in fan voting, James was awarded the first pick in the first round. Durant made the first pick in the second round. The captains alternated picks in each round, with Durant getting the final two picks in the first round, which had nine players instead of eight because of Tatum’s addition. As part of the NBA All-Star Game format (https://on.nba.com/38c0hKm), the two teams will compete to win each quarter for their respective beneficiaries. Team LeBron will play for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and Team Durant will play for UNCF (United Negro College Fund), with both organizations providing scholarship funding to further the higher education of students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities. A total of $1.75 million will be contributed to the two organizations. Each organization will receive an initial $500,000 contribution. At the end of each of the first three quarters, an additional $150,000 will be awarded to the leading team’s organization – totaling $450,000 for those three quarters. A remaining $300,000 will be awarded to the organization of the team that wins the NBA All-Star Game. The winner of the NBA All-Star Game will be the first team to reach or surpass the Final Target Score. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will select the replacement for any player unable to participate in the All-Star Game, naming a player from the same conference as the player who is being replaced. The player who is named as a replacement would join the team that drafted the replaced player. If a replaced player is a starter, the head coach of that team would name a new starter from his team’s group of reserves. Jazz head coach Quin Snyder will lead Team LeBron, and 76ers head coach Doc Rivers will guide Team Durant.Distributed by APO Group on behalf of National Basketball Association (NBA).Media filesDownload logo

Team Qhubeka ASSOS (www.TeamQhubeka.com) will take the start of the famous Strade Bianche on Saturday. The famous Italian UCI World Tour single day classic will be run over 184km around the Siena countryside, including numerous white gravel road sectors. Strade Bianche, one of the most exciting one day classics of the season, will see the UCI World Tour peloton descend upon the dusty white roads around Siena, for the 184km Strade Bianche. At last year&#39;s edition of the race, which took place under very different circumstances in August, due to Covid-19, Michael Gogl brilliantly fought his way to a 9th place finish. Our Austrian specialist has been eagerly awaiting his chance to return &#038; lead our team on the white Tuscan roads. Simon Clarke, our Australian road captain who showed his strong form at the Royal Bernard Drome Classic with a 5th place finish last week, will no doubt be calling upon his years of experience and the memory of finishing 8th in the 2019 edition of Strade Bianche, to get the best result possible for Team Qhubeka ASSOS on Saturday. Another previous top 10 finisher of Strade Bianche, Robert Power, will be joined by fellow teammates Bert-Jan Lindeman, Emil Vinjebo, Mauro Schmid, Karel Vacek as they look to support Gogl and Clarke in what should be an incredible race on Saturday. Team Qhubeka ASSOS would like to give our thanks to The British School in The Netherlands for their fantastic short video (https://bit.ly/2PAliYA), which announces our 2021 Strade Bianche team! Michael Gogl I think we have a really strong squad here for the race and as a team we have also shown some strong performances in the last races. I am really looking forward to Saturday and am super motivated after a strong Strade Bianche last year. I have been preparing really hard and well for this race, so I definitely feel ready. Of course in a race like this you need to have some luck or at least no bad luck because that can influence the race a lot, punctures, mechanical&#39;s etc. so we hope for the best and look forward to Saturday. Simon Clarke Strade Bianche is by far my favourite race of the whole year so I&#39;m super excited for this weekend. Doing it with a new team on new equipment and so far, so good. I am looking forward to attacking it on Saturday, we have a great team here with Michael Gogl also in great form so looking forward to working closely with him and trying to take home a good result for the team.Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Team Qhubeka ASSOS.About Team Qhubeka ASSOS: Team Qhubeka ASSOS (TeamQhubeka.com) is a purpose-led, high-performance team, fighting to win on the world&#39;s biggest stage, to inspire hope and create opportunity.
