SIMBA SC have vowed that they will never feature in any Tusker Cup tournament unless all the regulations including contracts are made transparent to them.
The club's Secretary General, Mwina Kaduguda, said this in Dar es Salaam yesterday when clarifying on their decision too withdraw from this year's Tusker Cup competition.
He accused the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) for not protecting the clubs' interests in the competition.
"This is the reason why the tournament has never been hosted in Kenya or Uganda. The reason is that they see Tanzanian teams as cheap", he said.

Museveni 'Abndons' Trip Back to Uganda at Mutukula
From Daily News, Dar es Salaam
By Kironde
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni undertook a long trek recently to visit both Kenya and Tanzania by road. This is a bit unusual since most Presidents make such trips by air.
Nevertheless, it would appear that the trip did not go as planned. This is reported in the East African Weekly tabloid of July 16-22, 2007 (p. 3) in an article entitled: “Impassable roads cut short Museveni's EA trip”.
According to presidential spokesperson Tamale Birundi (who in the article is also referred to as Mirundi), “under the original itinerary, President Museveni was expected to drive back to Uganda from northern Tanzania through the Mutukula border post, where the 1979 liberation forces entered Uganda, but was forced to 'abndon' the plan by the poor state of the roads”.
“The road from Mutukula to Uganda was impassable”, said Mr Mirundi (Birundi?). “Nor could 'and' the president travel through Bukoba port on Lake Victoria because the ferry …. was considered unreliable”.
We could excuse the typographical error, where one 'a' is missing from the word 'abandon'. Also we note that the typesetter forgot to remove the redundant 'and' in the above sentence. But to say that the road from Mutukula to Uganda was impassable is intriguing. A quick reference to the atlas shows that Mutukula is a border town (indeed the article says so).

The cup tourney was originally planned to be played in Dar es Salaam.The venue was first changed late last week due to the fact that the FIFA-sponsored artificial turf had got stuck in the port clearance process and therefore could not be fitted in the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam for the start of the tourney.
