July 2025 brought some interesting developments across Africa's entertainment and social scenes. From online gaming expansions to efforts at easing cultural tensions and new ways to catch sports on the go, here's what stood out on our platform this month.
Betway Africa teamed up with Booming Games to roll out top slot titles on South Africa's Jackpot City platform. This move isn't just about adding new games; it's about capturing a growing online casino market that’s becoming more competitive across the continent. Booming Games had already made its presence felt in Ghana, Uganda, and Kenya, and now, South Africa is joining the list. If you’re into online casinos, this means more options and fresh content coming your way.
On a different note, Shikhar Pahariya spoke up about the Hindi-Marathi tensions. The message? Keep respect front and center. Regional pride matters, but it shouldn't push people apart. He pushed for open chats and mutual understanding, which is a timely reminder in any diverse community.
Meanwhile, sports fans flying or cruising can breathe easy. Sport 24 joined forces with DAZN to bring the FIFA Club World Cup straight to in-flight and cruise audiences. No need to miss a play while on the move — live sports are just a seat away. This deal highlights how broadcasting is adapting to fit modern lifestyles, especially for international events.
July’s news reflects Africa’s vibrant mix of tech, culture, and innovation. Whether it’s gaming, keeping communities connected, or bringing live action to travelers, the continent’s story is unfolding in real time.

This move bolsters Betway’s content lineup and pushes Booming Games deeper into Africa, following launches in Ghana, Uganda, and Kenya.
Shikhar Pahariya has addressed the ongoing Hindi-Marathi language divide, saying that regional pride should never threaten inclusivity or migrants’ rights. He emphasized mutual respect and understanding, encouraging public dialogue and balance between local identity and broader national unity.
Sport 24 has inked a deal with DAZN to exclusively air the FIFA Club World Cup on its live sports channel for airlines and cruise ships. Travelers flying or cruising can now catch this championship event live, thanks to this unique broadcast partnership.
