DJ Bridash Meets Ghana High Commissioner in UK Ahead of London Show with E.L
Ghanaian DJ and media personality DJ Bridash is making notable strides on the international scene as he combines music and cultural engagement during a visit to the United Kingdom.
While in London, he paid a courtesy call on Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK, Sabah Zita Benson, in a meeting that also included award-winning rapper E.L. The engagement highlighted the role of Ghanaian creatives in strengthening cultural ties with the diaspora and projecting the country’s image on the global stage.
Discussions during the meeting focused on the growing influence of Ghanaian music abroad and how the creative industry continues to serve as a channel for cultural diplomacy and international representation.
The visit comes ahead of a live performance in London where DJ Bridash will join E.L on stage. The event is scheduled for May 2 at The Camden Assembly, a popular venue known for hosting diverse international acts.

The show is expected to deliver a mix of Afrobeats, hip hop and contemporary African sounds. DJ Bridash will provide supporting sets throughout the night, bringing his signature energy to complement E.L’s performance.
E.L, regarded as one of Ghana’s leading rap and Afrobeats artistes, is expected to perform a catalogue of his well-known songs, offering fans in London a lively and engaging experience.
The event is anticipated to attract members of the Ghanaian diaspora as well as a wider international audience, reflecting the increasing global appeal of Ghana’s music industry.
Beyond the performance, the engagement between the artistes and the High Commissioner points to the expanding intersection of entertainment and diplomacy, with Ghanaian creatives playing a growing role in cultural exchange across borders.
The London appearance adds to ongoing efforts by Ghanaian artistes and media personalities to build international audiences and strengthen connections with communities abroad.

Agazy International Tournament Ends with Eight Players Selected for European Trials
The second edition of the Agazy International Tournament has concluded at the Tema Newtown Stadium, with scouts selecting eight players from a large pool of emerging talents for trials in Europe.
The three-day tournament, which ran from April 21 to April 23, was organised by Agazy Homes as part of efforts to create pathways for young footballers to break into the global football scene.
Teams from Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon and Benin took part in the competition, which was open to players above 18 years.
The tournament served as a scouting platform, attracting over 15 international sporting directors and scouts, particularly from Europe, who were on hand to assess emerging talent.
With the competition now concluded, eight players have been selected for trials in Europe, with organisers indicating that the next scouting opportunity could take place in November.
The tournament is seen as a justification exercise for player selection, offering a direct pathway for standout performers to earn international opportunities.
Spanish lead scout Matias Lizarazu praised the overall quality of the players.
“I am very happy with the performance of the players,” he said.
“The level is so high. It is possible that some players will go to Spain for trials. I looked at players with good abilities, physique and technical abilities.”
Organisers believe the tournament continues to strengthen the link between local football structures and international scouting networks, offering players a genuine chance to elevate their careers.
Chelsea Winger Mykhailo Mudryk Appeals Four-Year FA Doping Ban at CAS
Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against a four‑year drugs ban imposed by the Football Association.
The Ukrainian international, 25, has been sidelined for nearly 18 months after an “adverse finding in a routine urine test” led to a provisional suspension in December 2024.
Charged in June 2025, Mudryk was subsequently handed the maximum four‑year ban by the FA, according to a spokesperson for the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the highest legal authority in sport.
The FA has never disclosed details of the case.
In such cases, bans are typically backdated to the start of the provisional suspension, meaning his current return date would be around December 2028.
However, an appeal has now been lodged with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) in Switzerland, with sources close to the player hopeful he could return to action as early as next season.
In a statement to BBC Sport, Cas said: “Cas confirms it has received an appeal by Mykhailo Mudryk against the FA, filed on 25 February 2026. The Parties are currently exchanging written submissions, and a hearing is yet to be scheduled.”
The BBC understands Mudryk came into contact with the cardiovascular medication meldonium, which can increase respiratory capacity and stamina, while on duty with the Ukraine national team in October 2024.
Mudryk, who joined Chelsea for an initial 70m euros (£61m) in January 2023, has not played a competitive match since November 2024.
In his only public statement when his provisional suspension began, Mudryk described his “complete shock” and said he had “never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules”.
Mudryk is being defended by Morgan Sports Law, the firm who worked with former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba during his doping case while playing for Juventus, as well as boxer Tyson Fury and cyclist Chris Froome during their respective investigations.
He is understood to want to return to playing football this year and is keeping fit by training at non-league Uxbridge FC with a private coach and having hired goalkeepers to work with.
Chelsea declined to comment as they wait for the process to take its full course and the FA said it is unable to comment on an ongoing case. Mudryk’s legal team has also been contacted for comment.

Earth Month: Deloitte Ghana Celebrates Sustainability with Workplace Plant Awards
Deloitte Ghana has successfully concluded its Earth Month celebrations with a vibrant and insightful Earth Month Awards Ceremony, highlighting a year-long journey of nurturing sustainability within the workplace.
The event, held on Wednesday, 29 April 2026, brought together staff across units to celebrate the growth and care invested in office plants distributed in April 2025 as part of the firm’s Earth Month initiative.
Opening the ceremony, the Chief Sustainability Officer of Deloitte West Africa, Abena Biney, reflected on the symbolic journey of the plants over the past year.
She drew a thoughtful parallel between the plants and people within the organisation, likening their initial state to “associates” and “national service personnel”.
“Through consistent care, nurturing, and attention—much like professional development—some plants had flourished remarkably, while others continue to grow and evolve”, Mrs. Biney mentioned.
To ensure objectivity and credibility in the assessment process, the plants were evaluated by an independent florist, who audited and scored each entry based on health, growth, and overall care.

At the end of the assessment, two units emerged as winners:
Assurance Unit, with their plant “Blossom”
P&P Unit, with their plant “Evergreen Bloom”
In recognition of their efforts, both teams were awarded a Dracaena plant, known for its resilience, low maintenance, and calming qualities, along with a beautifully crafted art painting.
In her closing remarks, Mrs. Biney reiterated a familiar principle: “the reward for hard work is more work.”
She explained that presenting another plant to the winning teams was both a reward and a renewed responsibility to continue exemplifying care and consistency.

She further encouraged all staff to continue nurturing their “office companions,” not only as a contribution to a greener workspace but also as a reminder of the life lessons embedded in growth, patience, and responsibility.
The Earth Month initiative once again reinforced Deloitte Ghana’s commitment to sustainability, employee engagement, and creating meaningful experiences that connect personal growth with environmental stewardship.
