CHANETA chairperson, Devota Marwa, told ‘Daily News’ yesterday that the ongoing youth programme which began in January this year is scheduled to climax in March and she encouraged all regions to participate in it.
The programme will run across the regions and zones, as Devota has confirmed, Mbeya and Songwe have begun to implement the programme whose fruits are now being seen.
“CHANETA is working on the youth programme which runs in regions of Tanzania. With this programme, we are sure of having youthful, strong and competitive players who will build our national team,” she added.
