This week’s BIG move:
ESPN Africa announce
Tyson Ngubeni aka Bob O’Connor
In the spirit of
its promise to bring the best of American sports to the continent, ESPN Africa
has announced a collaboration with comedy character Bob O’Connor. As part of
the local brand campaign, O’Connor,
the alter ego of actor Tyson Ngubeni, will lend his talents as a special
correspondent with delusions of a would-be career as a professional athlete if
it were not for an injury caused by stubbing his toe at his high school
graduation. He has been stationed in South Africa since 2018.
