The Slum Boys will welcome Otenga who looked resurgent in their previous two matches as they attempt to move away from the relegation zone

Kevin Kimani has warned Mathare United of the danger struggling Kismu All-Stars can pose during their Kenyan Premier League (KPL) tie on Saturday.

Mathare United will host Kisumu All-Stars at Kasarani and Kimani believes the visitors will desperately fight for points which will see them move away from the relegation zone.

Kisumu All-Stars are 16th and are just above bottom-placed Chemelil Sugar on goal difference.

“Kisumu All-Stars are struggling and are in danger of suffering the chop and that makes them a more than tough opponent as they are extra motivated to get points and pull their way back to safety,” Kimani told the club’s website.

“Playing a team that is in the relegation zone is tougher than playing a team aiming to win the title because teams which are about to go down are less cautious and go all out to get maximum points.”

The Kisumu-based club picked up a point from their last match against Tusker after forcing a 2-2 draw and almost forced another draw against Ulinzi Stars only to concede a late goal which saw them go down 3-2 in the previous encounter.

Their spirited performance against the traditional and former KPL champions is what makes Kimani fear them even more.

“You can see with the last two matches against Ulinzi Stars and Tusker how they have performed,” added Kimani.

“It is going to be tough and we need to be at our best to win. We are at home and need to take full advantage of that fact and add to our [points] tally as we also have not been performing well lately.

“So, I urge my fellow teammates to take this game with the seriousness it deserves and take nothing for granted.”

The former AFC Leopards winger is Mathare United’s top scorer with five goals and hopes to get his goal-scoring touch back soon.

“I feel that I can still offer more to the team in terms of goals and overall contribution. I want to score regularly and hopefully, I can do so [vs Kisumu All-Stars] and in subsequent matches,” he concluded.

Kimani was among the top scorers when the Slum Boys defeated Otenga 2-1 in the reverse fixture at Moi Stadium Kisumu.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
