About Oarabile & what to expect.

 👋Hello There! 

I am Oarabile Benjamin, a 21-year-old footballer, and sportswriter. After a few months contemplating on creating this blog, I have finally decided to create a sports blog, where I will be covering sports stories on almost every single aspect that has to do with sports. One would ask themselves on "when has Oarabile ever been a writer/ blogger" well this has been something that I have been wanting to do for a long time, but for some weird reason I have been delaying. I have always been a writer and I have been interested in doing this for a while. The motivation behind this blog is that I want to be that individual that gives people a voice to express how they feel about certain situations in sports (I will be mostly covering football as this blog starts off). As a person that is inspired by the likes of Robert Marawa, Lindiwe Dube, Karabo Phasa and Mazola Molefe, I thought let me just take initiative and have my own blog where I can express views on situations that are happening within the sports world, which in my perspective, mainstream media is not covering. Now that you know that I am currently a student, I will definitely push to publish on a weekly basis as we all have to balance the responsibilities that we have in our lives, right? Those that know me personally would probably ask themselves if I were still a footballer, and yes, I still play football, I did not let go of the sport, this is just a matter of stepping out of my comfort zone and making a difference.

What to expect in this blog

There’s a number of things that you can expect from this blog.

-       Transfer news

-       Current affairs on sports

-       Interviews with amateur, semi and professional footballers (I am still building a network).

-       Conversations with people within the sports industry.  

[but for now, it will just be sports news that is currently happening]

As a side note [to the reader of this blog]

-       This blog is only managed by Oarabile, in terms of editing the blogs, choosing news feeds, interviews so my promise to you will be that I will publish a few stories but as I gain momentum I will post more frequently. It is just a matter of getting used to my writing style and executing everything in a perfect manner.

Otherwise #KeNako, hope you enjoy reading this blog.
