“Basketball has won. I am very happy that we are not even seeing shouting and screaming here because we understand that basketball has won the day and basketball is an interesting game; we are one family,” he said.

The all inclusive development slogan is not for campaign purposes we mean business and it means that we are going to involve all…and we even need to go outside our court to get some stakeholders on board,” Mr.Van-Ess added.
