Tanzanian league among the most attractive, lucrative competitions in Africa – Ex-Gor Mahia’s Okoth

Retired Kenyan striker Ronald Okoth has explained why he thinks the Tanzania Mainland Premier League is one of the best competitions in Africa.

Okoth has cited financial benefits that players enjoy in Tanzania as one of the reasons he feels the East African league has made tremendous steps on matters of development.

“Notable clubs in Tanzania pay sign-on fees in excess of $40,000 and salaries ranging up to $4000 plus a fully furnished apartment,” Okoth tweeted. “Having been invited for a try-out with one of the clubs in Dar es Salaam sometime back, I must admit it’s one of the most attractive and lucrative leagues in Africa.
