Seasoned actress Bonnie Mbuli has launched her jewelry range. Taking to her Instagram recently, she shared the news with her followers and introduced her new collection. “It’s here. Bon Ami is a celebration of beauty and resilience. Adorn yourself while remembering to love, accept and celebrate yourself. Our pieces are engraved with affirmations because words carry energy and with words we can create worlds. Our first collection is a collaboration with @zacki.jewelry_sa,” she wrote.

Ethiopia now has two golds after Letesenbet Gidey won the women’s 10,000 meters. Kenya’s Hellen Obiri and Margaret Kipkemboi took silver and bronze respectively.

5. Mahrez signs new three-year deal at Man City

Riyad Mahrez has signed a new three-year contract that will keep him at Manchester City until 2025. The Algerian winger had just 12 months remaining on his contract and would have been available for free at the end of the season.

City has been busy tying down a number of senior players to longer-term contracts with Rodri signing a five-year deal earlier this week and an extension for Phil Foden expected to be announced in the near future. City has lost two wide players this summer with Raheem Sterling’s £47.5m ($57m) move to Chelsea confirmed following the departure of Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal in a £45m ($55m) deal.
