Africa's Sports & Tech Updates: 2027 Election? Wait, What?

You're probably scrolling through our site looking for 2027 election coverage. But hold up—our latest posts are all about football, tech leaks, and cricket. No election stories here, just straight-up updates on what's actually happening right now. Let's cut through the confusion and get to the real news.

First up: Saudi Pro League. Al Nassr’s leading the pack while Al-Ittihad fights to defend their title. But here’s the kicker—there’s no official report for Al Fateh vs. Al-Ittihad. If that match actually happened, it’d shake up the whole table. Imagine Al-Ittihad’s lead slipping away because of a missing result. That’s the drama we’re living for.

Sports You Can’t Miss Right Now

Football fans, gather 'round. Liverpool’s Community Shield win against Crystal Palace got locked behind a paywall for the first time ever. TNT Sports has the rights now, so you gotta pay to watch the season opener. Meanwhile, Pakistan and West Indies are set for a six-match T20I series this summer. If you’re into cricket, mark your calendars—FanCode’s streaming it all.

And let’s not forget the iPhone 17 Pro Max leak. It’s packing a 5,000 mAh battery—way bigger than previous models. If true, this could save you from charging your phone twice a day. Apple’s launching it in September 2025, so keep your eyes peeled.

Tech & Gaming News That Matters

Truecaller’s in hot water in South Africa over data privacy. The app’s pay-to-whitelist scheme is clashing with POPIA laws, and the Information Regulator’s investigating. If they’re found guilty, companies might finally get a break from being labeled spam without paying up.

On the sports front, CF Montréal and LAFC drew 2-2 with Olivier Giroud scoring a last-minute equalizer. That’s eight unbeaten games for LAFC. Meanwhile, Celtic’s warning fans about safety ahead of their St. Mirren match—no big public gatherings allowed. Last year’s trouble’s still fresh in everyone’s mind.

So yeah, no 2027 election updates here. Just the real-time stuff you can actually use: who’s winning leagues, what’s coming in tech, and how to watch the games without breaking the bank.
