It was a night of plenty of entertainment as the Cape Town Samp Army side created history by posting the highest total ever in the Zim Afro T10 when they crossed the 150-run mark against the NYS Lagos, and eventually registered a comfortable win. Meanwhile, in the other two games, the Harare Bolts and the Bulawayo Brave Jaguars also put in fine all-round performances to pick up important wins.

In the first match of the day, the Jo’burg Bangla Tigers batted first and struggled to build any momentum against the Harare Bolts’ bowling. Jimmy Neesham picked three wickets, while Brandon Mavuta and Richard Gleeson both bagged two wickets each for the Bolts to apply the brakes on the Tigers. For the Tigers, it was Sikandar Raza who top scored with a fighting 20, and George Linde added another 15, as they were bowled out for 90 with 2 balls to go in the innings. It wasn’t an easy chase for the Bolts, who also lost a few wickets cheaply. However, it was the very experienced skipper Dasun Shanaka who remained unbeaten on 50 and took his team over the line with 2 deliveries to go.

In the second game of the day, the Durban Wolves started off slowly as they lost a couple of early wickets. However, it was Will Smeed who took charge after that, scoring an unbeaten 55 along with Mark Chapman, who added 38 not out. The duo put on an 80-run stand as the Wolves finished with 112/2 in their 10 overs. That though was chased down in quite a thrilling manner by the Bulawayo Brave Jaguars, who were in a spot of bother initially. Captain Laurie Evans scored 26 and Nick Hobson added 38, to help the Jaguars register an important four-wicket win with three deliveries to go.

After that, it was the Cape Town Samp Army batters who took centre stage, as Dawid Malan (63) and Rohan Mustafa (50) put on a 111-run partnership and helped their team rewrite the history books. The Samp Army posted the highest score ever in the Zim Afro T10 with a total of 151/4 in their 10 overs. In response, the NYS Lagos started off brightly with the in-form Rassie van der Dussen (19) and Avishka Fernando (19) leading the charge. Once they were dismissed, it was the captain Thisara Perera who kept the NYS Lagos in the hunt for the win, with a quickfire 48 from 17 balls. However, the Samp Army bowlers picked crucial wickets in the final overs and picked up a 22-run win.

The UAE Media Council has launched Mu’lin, a new permit now required for individuals conducting advertising activities on social media platforms, whether for financial gain or otherwise.

The move is part of a broader strategy to modernise media regulations, enhance content quality, and establish the UAE as a leading hub for digital content creation and advertising.

According to the council, the Mu’lin permit aims to create a more transparent and professional digital media environment by defining clear guidelines for advertising practices, while protecting the rights of audiences, advertisers, and content creators alike.

“Mu’lin is a pivotal step in strengthening the regulatory framework for online advertising,” said Mohammed Saeed Al Shehhi, Secretary-General of the UAE Media Council. “It reinforces our vision of building a responsible and dynamic media model aligned with digital transformation and international best practices.”

Regulating the creator economy

The new permit is intended to empower content creators, boost investor confidence, and attract global talent by providing a flexible yet clear regulatory framework. It also supports the UAE’s broader ambitions to build a sustainable, innovation-driven media economy.

Al Shehhi highlighted that the initiative will contribute to increasing trust in digital content, particularly in advertising, which is a fast-growing segment of the UAE’s creative economy.

Supporting quality and compliance

Maitha Majid Al Suwaidi, Executive Director of the Strategy and Media Policy Sector at the UAE Media Council, noted that the Mu’lin permit is also designed to improve the overall quality of advertisements on social platforms, enabling responsible content creation while setting standards for professionalism.

A major road upgrade is set to transform daily commutes between Dubai and the northern emirates, with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure announcing a Dh750 million expansion of Emirates Road, one of the UAE’s most vital federal highways.

The Emirates Road Enhancement Project, scheduled to begin in September, will widen a 25-km stretch between Al Badee Interchange in Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain from three to five lanes in each direction. The two-year project aims to reduce travel times by up to 45 per cent and alleviate congestion for motorists travelling between Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah.

According to the ministry, the expansion will increase the road’s vehicle capacity by 65 per cent, from 5,400 to 9,000 vehicles per hour in each direction, targeting one of the UAE’s most heavily congested corridors.

As part of the overhaul, six new directional bridges will be constructed at Interchange No. 7, covering a total length of 12.6km. These bridges alone are designed to handle up to 13,200 vehicles per hour. Additionally, the project will include 3.4km of new collector roads on both sides of Emirates Road, improving traffic flow and access to nearby areas.

Officials say the expansion will deliver a significant boost to the UAE’s transport infrastructure and support the country’s broader mobility goals.

“This upgrade will not only ease daily traffic bottlenecks but also improve road safety and connectivity across the northern emirates,” the ministry said in a statement.

Once complete, the enhanced Emirates Road is expected to offer smoother, faster, and safer travel for thousands of daily commuters.
