The Standard Group Plc is a multi-media organization with investments in media
platforms spanning newspaper print
operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a
leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key influence in matters of national and
international interest.
Kenyans gave Safari Sevens and Africa Cup Sevens a wide berth.
However, participating countries not only sent their players to take part in the games, but also sent their scribes as well.
OffSide can reveal that almost every country sent at least a reporter or a cameraman to cover their national teams or clubs.
The overseas countries also exhibited far better organization compared to their African colleagues and Kenya’s KRU who took the trophy for being the most disorganized outfits.
