Saturday, August 5, 2023, a group blocked the Harriott II. A commercial city riverboat from docking at Montgomery Riverfront Park in Alabama, US.

The co-captain warned signs prohibiting parking. He asked pontoon occupants to move five times until getting off the riverboat to move it himself. Their altercation was caught on viral videos trending #Alabamariverboatbrawl.

Fueled by alcohol, before getting hit with a wrestling chair. The aggressive boaters were beaten in their brawl until police arrived. Four people were arrested and accused of third-degree assault.

Their assaults and disorderly conduct include attacking a teenage dockhand who jumped off the riverboat and swam to join dozens of bystanders helping the dockworker. The incident sparked conversations about race relations. Condemned by some as racially motivated, while others say it is a case of drunken violence.

Mayor Steven Reed, calls it "an unfortunate incident which never should have occurred." Promising, “justice will be served.” The viral fight videos show a group of White people, dragging, punching, kicking, and choking Damien Pickett, who is Black. It’s going to be interesting to hear reasons this group gives for aggression towards his authority and lashing out. Not the first time this group blocked the dock.

Outnumbered by a crowd that soured the myopic belief of privileges. These bullies will be remembered for their lineup in a standoff compared to the Justice League and Avengers, while suspected of racism. Most of all, each gets hit with a steel chair like a wrestler thrown into the water like Royal Rumble. You messed up when you became an internet meme before the trial.

Announced at 8 a.m. on August 9. “Loadshedding is suspended until midnight.” 16 hours of electricity staying on. Cringe when they switch off the power again. No expert predicts precisely when lights go back on. Hope within two hours, while horror thrillers happen.

To a country notorious for jingoistic murders, gender-based violence and load-shedding. The announced availability of power during South Africa’s Public Holiday Woman's Day. Anniversary of the “great women's march.” Remembering 9 August 1956, almost 20,000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest against apartheid government laws.

Eskom, established in 1923, is a company in charge of electricity. The workload was light during apartheid, they only had to cater to a white minority. Problems started when they had to provide electricity to +60 million people.

2009 the first time load-shedding was declared. Since then, a daily probability timetable scheduling random electricity cuts nationwide. How many times, how long, between stages one and eight? Stages allow power stations to share electricity available across the country.

Countless cases of theft, sabotage, and corruption, beneficiaries and competitors plaguing load-shedding. Presidentially declared national crisis responsible for the economy collapsing. Stages worsened by disputes in fossil fuel and green energy policies. mixed with local and international politics. Some court cases won, but few arrests.

Marches protest how load-shedding is a crime - no solidarity like women in 1956. I write this expecting my electricity cut at midnight when Eskom ends the suspension. No Woman’s Day event to celebrate feminism safe yet. I doubt we give Load-shedding a public holiday in the future.

The Battle of the Champions will be an exciting action-packed fight. A fight that boxing fans have been waiting for, not to be missed.

The NBA draft lottery was held in June, with the San Antonio Spurs selecting Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick. The 2023 NBA Champions Denver Nuggets signed Hunter Tyson from the Oklahoma Thunder, Julian Strawther and Jalen Pickett from the Indiana Pacers preparing for the 2024 Championship. In July at least four tournaments from the Women’s NBA Academy Games, the California Classic in Sacramento, the Salt Lake City league, and the NBA 2K24 league in Las Vegas.

The 2023-2024 NBA season will introduce the NBA In-Season Tournament, a new annual competition for all 30 teams. The tournament will feature a group stage and a knockout round for the 30 teams randomly drawn into six groups of five teams. Each team will play each team in its group once, for a total of four games.

The six group winners and the two teams with the best records in each conference that did not win their group, will advance to the knockout round. The knockout round will be single elimination, with the quarterfinals and semifinals being played at the home of the higher-seeded team.

The Final Four will be played in Las Vegas, with the semifinals on Thursday, December 7th and the Finals on Saturday, December 9th. The winner of the NBA In-Season Tournament will be awarded the NBA Cup and a prize pool of $18 million.
