At first, a sample of comments from the subreddits of the Bundesliga clubs was collected, tracking the period between August 2025 and August 2026, and it was subsequently analysed how many of their comments included swear words in either English or German.

- Eintracht Frankfurt – 5.95% of comments included swear words.
“An analysis of over 130,000 fan comments from the subreddits of the Bundesliga clubs, screened for both English and German-language swear words, found Borussia Dortmund to be the most foul-mouthed Bundesliga fandom with 14.01% of their comments containing swear words, while Werder Bremen came out as the most negative fandom, with 54.56% of their comments carrying a negative tone,” Wettfreunde.net spokesperson said.
“On the opposite end, SC Paderborn were found to be both the most positive fandom, with 38.03% of their comments carrying a positive tone, and the most polite fandom, with only 2.46% of their comments containing swear words,” the spokesperson added.

Africa.com Unveils the 2026 Definitive List of Women CEOs
The annual Bloomberg-data-driven ranking of the women running Africa’s largest companies to be unveiled alongside a first-ever conversation among the three women now leading FirstRand’s group, retail and corporate & investment banking businesses.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 27 August 2026- /African Media Agency(AMA)/- Africa.com will unveil the 2026 Definitive List of Women CEOs, its annual independent ranking of the women at the helm of Africa’s largest companies. The reveal will be livestreamed on Thursday, 27 August at 16:00 SAST at TheDefinitiveList.africa.com. Compiled using Bloomberg data, the Definitive List screened more than 1,500 companies across all of Africa’s stock exchanges to identify women holding top executive roles at the continent’s largest listed businesses.
“This recognition is meaningful precisely because it is data-driven and independent. Built on objective metrics, the list highlights where these remarkable leaders stand. Our hope is that it inspires the next generation of women to see a clear path to the highest levels of African business.”
Teresa Clarke, Chairman and Executive Editor, Africa.com
This year’s edition spans banking and insurance, mining and industrials, consumer goods, healthcare, real estate, and telecommunications. It features leaders from across the continent, including Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mauritius, and South Africa. The list is presented across three categories: chief executives of publicly traded companies, leaders of major divisions or subsidiaries of large listed groups, and regional executives leading African operations for global multinationals such as Microsoft, Visa, Mastercard, Nestlé, and Bank of America
A Conversation Among Three Leaders
Beyond the overall trends, this year’s list highlights a landmark moment. For the first time in the FirstRand Group’s history, women lead its three core pillars: Mary Vilakazi as Group CEO, Lytania Johnson as CEO of FNB (First National Bank), and Emrie Brown as CEO of RMB (Rand Merchant Bank).
In a candid and thought-provoking conversation, the executives will reflect on the experiences that shaped their careers and what their appointments mean for the continent’s financial sector, the evolving leadership landscape, and the growing influence of women leaders.
The discussion will be an empowering look forward for the next generation.
The livestreamed event takes place on Thursday, 27 August at 16:00 SAST at TheDefinitiveList.africa.com. (https://thedefinitivelist.africa.com)
The event combines the reveal of the 2026 Definitive List, followed by an Executive conversation with the three leaders. Both the reveal and the leaders’ conversation will remain available on demand following the event, with a podcast edition distributed across major platforms.

Uasin Gishu County Strengthens GIS Capacity to Improve Planning And Service Delivery
The County Government of Uasin Gishu is strengthening the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in planning and service delivery through specialised training of County GIS Sector Champions.
Officers drawn from various county departments, including physical planning, ICT, health, agriculture, roads, water, environment and communication on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, attended a three-day training, held at the GIS Lab at Ardhi House, Eldoret.
The programme was facilitated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Council of Governors (CoG) under the European Union-FAO funded Digital Land Governance Programme (DLGP).
Why Uasin Gishu officers are being trained on Geographic Information Systems
The training is aimed at strengthening the capacity of county officers to use GIS and geospatial information in planning, decision-making, data sharing, and service delivery.
County Executive Committee Member for Lands, Physical Planning, Housing and Urban Development Edward Sawe said the county was embracing technology and data-driven planning to improve how development programmes are implemented.
“GIS provides us with accurate and timely information that enables the county to make better decisions, plan more effectively and allocate resources where they are most needed. As Uasin Gishu continues to grow, the use of geospatial data will be critical in guiding sustainable development,” said Sawe.
He said collaboration between departments was essential in ensuring that GIS information is effectively used across the county.
“We want to move away from working in isolated departmental systems. By strengthening GIS capacity among officers from different departments, we are creating a common platform for sharing information and supporting coordinated development,” he added.
The training targeted selected officers designated as GIS Sector Champions, who are expected to support the adoption and use of geospatial technologies within their respective departments.
Why GIS is important in modern planning
Director of Physical Planning and the training’s focal person, Charles Kimani, said the initiative would enhance the county’s ability to integrate spatial information into development planning.
“Modern planning cannot be separated from accurate spatial information. GIS enables us to understand what is happening on the ground, identify development trends and make evidence-based decisions,” said Kimani.
He added that the sector champions would play an important role in ensuring that knowledge acquired during the training translates into practical applications within county departments.
“The objective is not simply to train officers on GIS software. We want to build a culture where departments routinely use geospatial information to analyse challenges, plan interventions and monitor development projects,” Kimani said.
The integration of GIS is expected to support areas such as infrastructure planning, land-use management, environmental management, agricultural planning, public health interventions, road development and monitoring of county projects.
