  2. Thanks so much for this. I’m a writer from Badhoevedorp, Netherlands and what you’ve said here on africatopsports.
    com couldn’t be written any better. Reading through this post reminds me of my college roommate, Virginia. He constantly kept preaching about this. I will definitely send these ideas to him. Pretty sure he will have a very good read. I am grateful to you you for revealing this.
