How Hamisa helped ‘save’ Tanzanian premier league

Hamisa Mobetto has revealed that she convinced Young Africans (Yanga) player Aziz Ki to remain in Tanzania and play for the football club.

This was after his contract had ended and fans were worried that the player would consider playing for other clubs and ditch Yanga.

Reports had it that the footballer was looking to join football clubs in South or North Africa but suddenly decided to stay with the Tanzanian-based football club.

Asked if she was the one who convinced him to stay, Hamisa said she put in a good word.

“I told him not to go but if he did, I would have flown to where he is but it is good he stayed. To be honest, I would have followed him.”

Asked what makes her want to be close to Aziz, she said; “He is kind, a nice person and he is very loving.”

Aziz and Hamisa are rumoured to be dating. But the model said in the past that they were just very close friends.

“Aziz ni rafiki yangu na sio mbaya kuonekana na rafiki yangu. Mimi nina marafiki wengi sana wa kiume, nimeshangaa imekua kama shocking news.”

(Aziz is my friend and there’s nothing wrong with being seen with a friend. I have many male friends, so that was shocking news to me)
