Referees Banned for Life

This week Tanzania's football took what I call a positive move.

In a number of occassions for many years there has been complaints from football coaches and players to the soccer governing body. Many complaints directed towards officials;clubs and coaches were complaining that the way matches were officiated showed some indication of favouritisms.

The source of these favours were mentioned to be corruption,although many complained about this no one had evidence to support these claims.

This week as a swahili saying "Za mwizi arobaini" meaning a thief has only 39 days to wonder around but he will eventually be caught on the 40th day of his crimes. Three well known and complained upon referees were given a life ban from officiating any soccer match. TFF came up with such a penalty after the said referees confessed that they took bribe of TZS 200,000/= (equivalent to USD 170/=) from officials of Majimaji sports club.

I commend TFF for taking this brave action to send a message to all other corrupt officials, that the dark era is over. It is time now to build a strong clean soccer nation.

TFF should not end there it is time now to turn to club administrators who are paying these bribes so that their teams can win.

One of the officials is the well known Osman Kazi

Dar Young Africans Vs Simba Sports club

Tommorow (saturday 31/10/2009) is one of the big days in Tanzanian Soccer. Tanzania's soccer giants Yanga (young Africans) and Simba will clash at the National stadium in Dar es Salaam. The match is expected to attract many spectators than usual, we expect revenue collections to be high. Actually we look forward to watching this big event. In the midst of expectation I can not stop myself from wondering what actually will happen tommorow. I wish to very advanced soccer tactics from the big teams, I wish to hear from TFF that they have collected as much as they expected as gate collection, I wish to see fair officiating of the match. I wish to mature and fair behavior from fans, i wish for a lot good things to happen. But I know one thing for sure: It is possible that I wont see any of my wishes coming true. It is possible to hear from TFF saying that they run deficit from the match collection. We may end up seeing the usual none fair play game from players, players from each team m...
