The former Gor Mahia and Azam FC midfielder has explained why Tanzanian football has grown significantly over the last couple of years.
The said player, whose name the coach did not mention but was referred to by a pseudonym, met a woman, made eyes, and then decided to go with the woman to her house as the other players were entertained in their local hotel.
"One of our players, let me call him 'Madowo', had his eyes fixed on a fine Nyar Kisumo [a Kisumu girl], light and wasp-like. They kept eyeing each other lusciously. Unbeknownst to him and all of us, the lady was married, and the husband, a cop, was also in the crowd, seated in a different place but carrying out surveillance after sensing danger," Ouna narrated in a social media post.
