Last update: 11 hours agoRugby Africa Women’s Cup Kickoff: Kenya’s Lionesses launch the 2026 Rugby Africa Women’s Cup today in Nairobi with a derby against Uganda, chasing a first continental title and aiming to break South Africa’s dominance after the Springbok Women’s perfect run since 2019. Madagascar in the spotlight: South Africa arrive as favourites after last year’s 61-17 win over Madagascar, and Kenya’s schedule puts Madagascar next on May 27—so the rivalry is already shaping up fast. Global culture, local echoes: Madagascar’s name also pops up in arts coverage—from a sold-out drag spectacle at Manila’s Spirits Library to a summer kids film series in Ocala that includes “Madagascar.” Sports draw momentum: Elsewhere in African football, AFCON 2027 qualifying groups are set, with Nigeria placed alongside Madagascar, Tanzania, and Guinea-Bissau—keeping Madagascar tied to major matchups across the continent.
