President Mnangagwa was unsurprisingly amicable with the late Tanzanian President. One of the major reasons for this was his strong stance against sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe. At the 40th SADC Ordinary Summit Heads of States and Government hosted virtually by Mozambique last year, President Magufuli had the following to say on the issue of sanctions:

“It is my strong belief that our nations will benefit if sanctions on Zimbabwe are lifted. It will offer an invaluable contribution not only to Zimbabwe but to the entire continent. These are some of the achievements we have been able to achieve during the past year.

“During the 39th summit, we (SADC) passed the resolution to lift sanctions against Zimbabwe, which were imposed since 2001. In that resolution we approved October 25 of every year to be a special day against sanctions in Zimbabwe where member states will be conducting various activities including preparing dialogues and declarations against the sanctions on Zimbabwe.

These sanctions have not only affected the people of Zimbabwe and their Government but the entire region. It is like a human body: when you chop one of its parts it affects the whole body.

Therefore, I would like to seize this opportunity to urge the international community to lift sanctions it imposed on Zimbabwe. This brotherly country after all has now opened a new chapter and it is ready to engage with the rest of the world. It is therefore, I believe, in the interest of all parties concerned to see these sanctions removed.”

For this display of support for the good of the Zimbabwean people he was no doubt respected by our leadership. Hence, the President E.D Mnangagwa traveled to Tanzania to attend the late President’s memorial service.

The late President’s funeral service is expected to be held in Dodoma, the administrative national capital for Tanzania.

President Mnangagwa was joined by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Acting Minister Professor Amon Murwira, Deputy Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet responsible for Communication Mr George Charamba and senior Government officials Foreign Affairs and International Trade Acting Minister Professor Amon Murwira and Deputy Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet responsible for Communication Mr George Charamba.

The delegation was welcomed  at Julias Nyerere International Airport by Tanzanian Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Mashimba Ndaki, other Tanzanian officials, Zimbabwe Ambassador to Tanzania Anselm Sanyatwe and embassy staff.

An Azam FC official stated that Takwara had been invited for trials starting on March 11 2021. This trial stint was made possible by football agent George Deda who has already build a strong rapport with Tanzanian clubs. Deda was able to make this move through his Soccer Transfer International Agency.

Mr Deda gave the following remarks,

“We have been working hard during the Covid-19 lockdown to get Zimbabwean players deals even when the league is inactive. Takwara has been invited for a two-week trial by Azam and from here, he will proceed to Ethiopia’s St George’s. We are confident Takwara will impress and grab the opportunity”

In view of this opportunity, George Takwara revealed that he is confident that these trials will yield good results. He conveyed that most of his confidence can be attributed to the fact that all Zimbabwean players who have had similar trials in Tanzania had managed to go make the grade.

East Africa is currently home to Zimbabwean soccer players such as Prince Dube, Bruce Kangwa and Never Tigere.

We wish Takwara all the best as he embarks on this endeavour.
