Kagiso Rabada creates history, becomes first player in 48 years to achieve rarest of rare feat

Kagiso Rabada creates history, becomes first player in 48 years to achieve rarest of rare feat

In a historic achievement, South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has become only the second player in 141 years to have his name inscribed on both the home and away honours boards at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground.

Rabada’s exceptional performance in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 final has been the driving force behind South Africa’s quest for their first ICC trophy in 27 years. The Proteas are facing off against Australia in the final at Lord’s, with Rabada leading the bowling attack. In the first innings, Rabada picked up a five-wicket haul, bundling out Australia for 212 runs. This feat has earned him a place on the home honours board at Lord’s, a distinction usually reserved for England players.

Rabada’s name was already etched on the away honours board at Lord’s, having previously picked up a five-wicket haul against England in 2022. He is now the second player in the 141-year history of Test cricket at Lord’s to have his name on both the home and away honours boards, joining the legendary West Indian all-rounder Gordon Greenidge.

Greenidge, the only other player to achieve this feat, had his name on the away honours board twice for his 214* and 103 against England in 1984 and 1988, respectively. He also earned a place on the Lord’s honours board when he scored 122 for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against the Rest of the World in 1987.

Rabada’s historic accomplishment comes 48 years after Greenidge’s feat, further solidifying his place in cricket history. As South Africa continues their quest for the elusive WTC title, Rabada’s performance and this remarkable achievement will undoubtedly inspire the team to reach new heights.

Bank One extends a facility to the ESATF Trade Fund to support regional trade finance in Africa

Bank One has announced the extension of a $5 million credit facility to the Eastern and Southern African Trade Fund (ESATF), a dedicated African trade finance vehicle managed by ESATAL Fund Management Company, a subsidiary of the Trade and Development Bank (TDB) Group. This facility aims to support ESATF’s expanding loan book and respond to the increasing demand for trade finance across Africa, one of the continent’s most dynamic and high-growth markets.

The partnership builds on a long-standing relationship between Bank One and the TDB Group, initially established through syndicated lending collaborations in support of TDB’s trade and development banking initiatives. Over the past few years, Bank One has participated in two syndicated debt raises alongside TDB, reinforcing their mutual commitment to inclusive and sustainable economic development in Africa.

This latest engagement marks a milestone in their collaboration, representing Bank One’s first direct lending transaction with ESATF. The move reflects Bank One’s confidence in ESATF as a robust, professionally managed trade finance fund with a diversified and de-risked portfolio, strategically aligned with the continent’s growing trade finance needs.

As of June 2025, ESATF manages $300 million in net assets and is backed by over 60 institutional investors, making it a leading platform for those looking to contribute to Africa’s trade finance ecosystem. The fund supports key sectors across the continent, with a strong emphasis on empowering SMEs, women-led enterprises, and smallholder farmers—critical drivers of inclusive economic growth. This partnership underlines the strategic role of blended finance and cross-border cooperation in unlocking capital for trade development and underscores both institutions’ commitment to fostering economic resilience and opportunity throughout Africa.
