“We’ve worked hard to strengthen the team during the mini-transfer window and it’s paying off. Now, each position has two to three players, allowing us to make necessary rotations and maintain fresh legs,” he explained.
Additionally, Minziro commended Mwanza Regional Commissioner Said Mtanda and the people of Mwanza for their unwavering support of the team.
