African Sports Monthly January 2013 Issue

Letter from the Chairman/CEO Hello fans and readers, We are pleased to once again bring you Africa’s first and only comprehensive sports Magazine that covers all sports disciplines across Africa and in the Diaspora. Unfortunately due to reasons beyond our control we had to take a hiatus from publication of this magazine since June of last year, a situation that we absolutely hated having to go through. With the Olympics around the corner it was absolutely painful for us to cease since we had been gearing all year long to cover the Games and bring you the great human stories of Africa’s athletes at the games. However even though we did not get to do any Olympic publication through the magazine we were able to provide you with daily coverage of events at the games through our sister site African Sports TV. We are ready to serve you again and by God’s grace on a continuous and uninterrupted basis for many many years to come. Africa is thriving and growing economically and we are a part of that narrative and wish to stay that way, but we need your support in order for us to bring you this magazine month in Month out. In this re-launched edition we bring you very interesting and insightful interviews with an African born European boxing champion living and plying in his trade in Europe and an American Football player who is on a crusade to bring the game to African kids. We hope you enjoy reading our collection of stories and analysis and continue to support us by spreading the word about our publication and eventually subscribing to it. Best Regards Leslie Koroma Chairman/CEO African Sports Media Network African Sports Monthly 10
