Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda has honoured a 10m

                                                                                                                                       Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda has honoured a 10m/- pledge he made to the national football team, Taifa Stars, late last year ahead of their 2014 World Cup preliminary qualifying match against Chad held in N’Djamena.

Pinda said the pledge was to motivate the players so that they could qualify for the World Cup group stages.

The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) media officer, Boniface Wambura, said yesterday the Prime Minister pledge was honoured through the National Sports Council (NSC) who will in turn give the money to the players.

Wambura said TFF, through national team manager Leopold Tasso, is preparing a list of players who deserve the Prime Minister’s gesture.

The TFF media officer said the list will then be sent to NSC who will disburse the money to the players.

Wambura said TFF is very thankful to the Prime Minister for living up to his promise, adding that the 2-1 away win which Stars got could have been contributed by the pledge.
