#BBCAfricaDebate Asks: Are Administrators Failing African Sportsmen And Women?

The April edition of BBC Africa Debate – the flagship current affairs discussion programme on BBC World Service radio - will come from Nairobi, Kenya. Presented by Farayi Mungazi and Caroline Barker, the programme can be heard on the BBC World Service on Fri 29 April at 1900GMT and online at bbcafrica.com , listeners can also join in with the discussion by using the hashtag #BBCAfricaDebate on social media.

The call for better management of sport is heard across all of Africa. In athletics, for instance, Kenya has struggled to establish a credible anti-doping system. In football, another leadership wrangle has erupted in Nigeria following the resignation of Sunday Oliseh, the coach of the national team known as the Super Eagles. Elsewhere, Zimbabwe’s footballers will be watching other teams try to qualify for the 2018 World Cup because their country was banned by FIFA after failing to pay a former national coach. So, is there a leadership crisis in African sport? What can be done to improve the management of sport in Africa?

The invited audience will be discussing the subject alongside a guest panel including Samuel Matete (Zambia’s first track and field World Champion), Elyna Shiveka (Deputy Chair of Kenya’s Hockey team), Hassan Wario (Kenyan Minister for Sport) and Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee (Ex-footballer and coach of Kenya's national football team).

The programme will be broadcast at 1900GMT on Friday 29 April and available online after broadcast. [It will be recorded on Weds 27 April]
