Tanzania can benefit from Samatta's popularity - Ndumbaro

The assistant minister has pointed out ways which the country can exploit the advantages of football and one of their known stars

Tanzania assistant minister for Foreign Affairs Ndamas Ndumbaro has explained how the country can benefit from Mbwana Samatta's popularity.

Ndumbaro was speaking during the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) end of year meeting and urged the leaders in charge of sports departments to help the country benefit from the popularity of the game and their own stars.

“The level that [Mbwana] Samatta has reached in football can easily be tapped and used to improve our tourism, help our Kiswahili language grow and so the leaders should be careful on how they handle the dockets of sports in Tanzania,” Ndumbaro told Mwanaspoti.
