Thomas Jacob Sanford – Sports Journalism Hub
When you follow Thomas Jacob Sanford, a veteran reporter focused on African sports for ProTouch Sports Africa News. Also known as TJ Sanford, he brings on‑the‑ground perspective to every story. His beat includes Sports Journalism, the craft of delivering timely, accurate, and engaging sports content, and he often writes about African Sports News, the fast‑moving world of football, cricket, rugby and athletics across the continent. Together, these entities form a network where breaking news, expert analysis and local insight intersect.
Sports journalism requires three core attributes: speed, accuracy, and context. Speed ensures fans get scores and highlights while the excitement is still fresh. Accuracy prevents misinformation from spreading, especially during high‑stakes matches like the Women’s Cricket World Cup or Serie A clashes. Context adds the why and how, turning raw numbers into stories that explain a team’s momentum or a player's breakthrough. Thomas Jacob Sanford blends these attributes by pulling data from live feeds, interviewing coaches on the sideline, and weaving cultural background into every article.
Africa’s sports scene is a melting pot of talent and passion. Football dominates stadiums in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, while cricket thrives in India‑linked diaspora communities and rising nations like Rwanda. Rugby still commands loyal followings in Kenya and Namibia, and athletics continues to produce world‑class sprinters and distance runners. By covering events ranging from a powerplay masterclass at the Women’s Cricket World Cup to a dramatic La Liga upset, Sanford captures the breadth of competition and the unique stories that emerge from each corner of the continent.
