Ghana’s Asamoah Gyan tells us that he won’t take any penalties at the Africa Cup of Nations because of the wishes of his mother who died last year. The South African Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula says that the country's authorities will get to the root of the current match-fixing scandal, and has promised there'll be no cover-up. Gary White, the coach of Guam, talks about how he’s improving their fortunes and his ambition to become the England coach one day.
