Al-Mahdi Apparel Technology Inc Donates Face Masks To SLAJ



The Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) is pleased to receive a donation of 100 specially made face masks today from the Al-Mahdi Apparel Technology Inc as their humble support to the SLAJ ‘Wear A Mask’ campaign.


According to the Chief Executive Officer of Al-Mahdi Apparel, Mr. Mahdi Kallon, the masks were produced with caution in line with the intended purpose and well packaged as a further protection from the virus.


“This quantity may be small, but it’s the quality and fit for purpose that matters,” said Kallon, and called on the public not to use masks just for the sake of it but to use them properly with the intended purpose in mind always.

Receiving the masks, the President of SLAJ Ahmed Sahid Nasralla, thanked CEO Kallon and his team for what he describes as a ‘timely gesture’, coming immediately after the Association launched the ‘Wear A Mask’ campaign.

“On behalf of my Executive and the entire membership of SLAJ, I say thank you to Al-Mahdi Apparel Technology Inc. We appreciate this. The mask up campaign is for our collective protection as a people and it goes together with other preventive measures. We look forward to more donations from other well-meaning organisations,” said Nasralla.

Sierra Leone, Two other Nations disqualified from AFCON 2024 U17 Qualifiers

By: Abdulrahman Barrie The U17 football teams from Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau have been disqualified from the 2024 U17 African Cup of Nations competition in Senegal after failing the mandatory MRI test scans. These scans, which determine the age of the players, revealed discrepancies that led to their removal from the tournament. The disqualification follows changes to Article 27.4 of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations regulations, which have tightened the criteria and enforcement of age verification measures. The updated rules stipulate that if a team has more than four players deemed ineligible after the MRI eligibility test, the entire team will be disqualified. The MRI tests, used to enforce age restrictions in youth competitions, are crucial for ensuring fairness. Unfortunately, the teams from these three nations did not meet the age criteria, resulting in their disqualification. This decision has come as a significant disappointment for the young players and their fans, w...

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200. Senegal, on the other hand, is one of Africa’s most famous football nations, nicknamed the “Lions of Teranga.” In 2002, ...

Disturbing snail space Civil works in the Makeni Central Lorry park

By: Ibrahim Jalloh - (Jallomy) The Makeni City Council (MCC) ordered commercial vehicles and business entities to leave the park area for the purpose of upgrading the park. Two weeks were given as the duration of the work. Regrettably, a week plus few days have elapsed with no significant work done. Drivers and business people in the park are completely frustrated and their livelihoods threatened.  Few years ago, drivers and traders were asked out of the park for similar reason but after two weeks they were asked to return to the park with no work done. This was disrespectful and insulting.  We urge MCC to double their efforts as the affected persons are running out of patience.
