Simba’s chief executive, Senzo Mbatha, says he is ‘relieved’ that the players won the Tanzanian title ‘on the pitch’ and ‘not in the boardroom’ following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Simba were crowned champions on Sunday despite being held 0-0 by mid-table Prisons, after the league was able to restart two weeks ago following the three-month shutdown.
The point they picked up took Simba to 79 points, 19 more than their great rivals Young Africans, with six games remaining. (BBC)
