2021-02-23 11:43:41 When conflict broke out in Cameroon's northwest region, many things ground to a halt but not Kennedy Nkwain's dream of playing in the NBA.
Without proper facilities, the 20 year-old trains using makesift equipment, and techniques he's taught himself from watching video clips of professional players doing their drills.
Sometimes Nkwain has to abandon training altogether and run to safety as government forces and rebels exchange gunfire.
On this day, he squeezes his muscular body in between car tires he uses as training props, flinching as explosions ring from the jungle not far from a dusty basketball court in Bamenda, capital of Cameroon's northwest region.
"Since the beginning of the crisis in my country and that’s been going on, I started training because I wanted my dream to come true. To give kids hope that it doesn’t matter where you come, you can achieve what you want," said Nkwain.
"Because it is not just about basketball here in the northwest region. There is a lot of talent of talent here, football, volley and others but kids are giving up because of where they come from and Covid-19 pandemic. So I just want to use basketball as a platform to inspire other people to work hard to achieve their dreams," he added.
Nkwain has turned a former store room into a gym where he works out to stay in shape. Some of his peers in the north and southwest regions have joined rebels fighting for self rule.
But Nkwain's sweat is in pursuit of a basket ball dream.
"My dream from Day one was to play in the NBA and always been that. The NBA team I wish to play for is the LA Lakers. It is because LeBron James inspires me a lot. I just want to learn a little bit about his mentality before he retires from the game. I just want to get that little piece of what he has, what makes him great," he said.
There are so many odds standing in Nkwain's way but his aspirations are too big he can't sit down.
If Nkwain makes it to the NBA, he will fellow countryman and Philadelphia forward Joel Embiid in the world's most important basketball league.
Crisis in Cameroon's Anglphone regions

2021-02-23 11:42:28 The commission probing widespread state corruption when Jacob Zuma was president of South Africa, on Monday requested the Supreme Court to hand down a two year jail time for Zuma over his refusal to testify.
Since the creation of the commission in 2018, Zuma, already implicated by some forty testimonies, has on several occasions tried to avoid having to explain himself, thus, piling up appeals or asserting his right to silence.
After months of avoiding to testify, Judge Raymond Zondo's commission put his threats into action by filing an urgent appeal with the Constitutional Court to punish the former head of state, for "intentionally and illegally" refusing to advance the investigation.
On Monday, February 15, the former South African president again snubbed the anti-corruption commission before which he was summoned all week.
However, this time, he had at the same time ignored a January ruling by the Constitutional Court, forcing him to appear and denying him the right to remain silent.
The commission is now asking the Supreme Court to decide whether Zuma's latest affront constitutes "contempt of justice" and, if so, whether he should be sent to prison.
Last week, the former head of state accused some judges of being "without faith or law". He said he was certain that Judge Zondo's desire to have him convicted of contempt of court would be fulfilled, accusing the president of "political propaganda".
The arm wrestling between the two men has been going on for months, with both of them using the legal arsenal to launch their attacks.
President, Cyril Ramaphosa, who has made the fight against corruption a battle horse, on Monday warned of the possible consequences of the remarks made by his predecessor.
Jacob Zuma, 78, testified only once before the commission in July 2019. He said he was being treated as an "accused" and not a ‘’witness’’.
Dozens of ministers or former ministers, elected officials, businessmen or high-ranking civil servants have already been heard, unpacking the scandal’s in the Zuma era. Zuma, who ruled the Southern African nation between 2009 and 2018, was forced to resign in 2018 following a slew of scandals in his administration. Open / Comment
