FT: KENYA 1 - 1 UGANDA

Uganda scored a late goal to salvage a 1-1 draw against Harambee Stars in a match played on Thursday in Machakos A late goal by Moses Waiswa denied Harambee Stars a comfortable win at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Thursday. Wasteful Guizhou Zhicheng striker Michael Olunga scored the opener for the home team in the 34th minute, after a well taken long ball by goalkeeper Patrick Matasi. But a defensive lapse allowed the Cranes to score from the tightest of angles courtesy of Moses Waiswa , who latched on a loose ball to put it past hapless Matasi. Coach Stanley Okumbi came into the match aiming to continue with his fine form of eight matches unbeaten and it seemed all were in his favour as the Stars dominated early proceedings. Michael Olunga missed several clean opportunities earlier on, including an eighth minute one-on-one with goalkeeper Ochan Benjamin. It could have been a costly miss as the visitors won a free-kick few minutes later, only for Mutiyaba Mur

Tanzanian minister sacked after condemning TV intrusion

  President Dr. John Pombe Magufuli   Dar es Salaam - Tanzanian President John Magufuli on Thursday sacked his information minister after he criticised an ally of the president who had stormed into a television station accompanied by armed men. The sacking comes amid an uproar over the incident at one of Tanzania's main private broadcasters, seen as yet another example of the restriction of basic freedoms since Magufuli came to power in October last year. A statement from the presidency did not give any reason for the firing of Information Minister Nape Nnauye, and merely announced that a new minister had been appointed. On Friday, Dar es Salaam regional commissioner Paul Makonda stormed into the offices of the Clouds FM Media Group with six armed men to demand the airing of a muckraking video aimed at undermining a popular local pastor with whom Makonda has a dispute. The station refused to broadcast the video in which a woman claims to have had an illegiti

Tha ''Battle'' Of FA CUP Chelsea vs Man United

Ukiangalia kwa haraka haraka unaweza kutoa matokeo ya mechi hii hata kabla haijachezwa na wala hakuna mtu atakaekushangaa kwa huo ndio mtazamo wa mashabiki wengi wa soka na hata wataalam wa uchambuzi wa kimataifa wa soka. Kwanza Manchester United alichezea kichapo cha magoli 4-0 pale Darajani wakati wa mechi yao ya Premier League dhidi ya Chelsea, mechi ambayo kwa mujibu wa Jose Mourinho ni kwamba 'ilianza na goli' hivyo hakujua nani wa kumlaumu. Leo Man United na Mourihno wanarudi tena Darajani katika robo fainali hii ya FA cup wakiwa na kumbukumbu zile zile za kichapo. Kwa matazamo mwingine ukiiangalia Manchester United utagundua sio ile iliyopigwa 4=0 na Chelsea kwa maana kwamba imebadilika kwa kiasi kikubwa wakiwa na ari, nguvu na determination ya ushindi, huku wakiwa wamecheza mechi nyingi zaidi bila kupoteza katika mashindano mbalimbali ya ndani na ya nje. Lakini je, Manchester United wakiwa ndio mabingwa watetezi wa kombe hili la FA watakubali kuupoteza mchezo huu
