 Mali renames colonial French street names Mali followed Burkina Faso and Niger on Wednesday in renaming streets and squares in its capital to get rid of their French colonial names, AFP reported. Streets bearing the names of members of France's colonial administration have been rebaptised in Bamako, according to a decree by the junta chief. Cedeao Avenue (the French acronym for the Economic Community of West African States or ECOWAS) is also now named after a new strategic confederation that Mali has formed with Burkina Faso and Niger – the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). In all, nearly 25 names have been replaced, among them boulevards, streets, squares and public establishments.

Super Eagles GK Nwabali shines with penalty save as Chippa United beat Magesi FC


Super Eagles No 1 goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali was one of the heroes of South African club Chippa United after he saved a penalty and inspired them to a 2-0 home win over giant killers Megisa.


The 26-year-old was the pillar of Chippa’s defence, making crucial saves, including a spectacular penalty stop in the second half that ensured the visitors failed to mount a comeback.


Nwabali saved a penalty in the 47th minute that would have brought the visitors back into the game.


Chippa United laid the groundwork for victory in the first half, with Sinoxolo Kwayiba striking twice at the Buffalo City Stadium in East London. Despite Magesi FC’s attempts to fight back, Nwabali was impenetrable, keeping his clean sheet intact.

He has now recorded five clean sheets in the PSL this season.


The giant shot stopper dedicated this clean sheet to his departed father.

The home win catapulted Chippa United, who barely escaped relegation last season, to third place with 14 points from nine matches.
