Yanga SC communications officer Hassan Bumbuli has hit back at Simba SC fans for provoking Wananchi, leading to the violent acts witnessed at the weekend.
A section of the Young Africans SC fans beat and ripped the jerseys of some of the Wekundu wa Msimbazi fans who had made their way into the Jamhuri Stadium in Morogoro to watch the game between them and their hosts Mtibwa Sugar on Sunday.
The incident has been condemned across the board but the official has come up with an explanation of what happened.
