AfricaPress-Tanzania: The Sports Charity Institute has pledged to ensure it builds 10 sports stadiums in Ilemela district.
Speaking during the distribution of sports equipment to the Ilemela teams, Institute Chairman Rogasian Kaijage said so far they have already built stadiums in Mirongo ward as well as Sabasaba ward.
He said in Ilemela district they will build ten different stadiums.
“We strongly urge the directors to assist us in giving us land and we will build stadiums at our own expense,” said Kaijage.
Kaijage also said their Institute will continue to provide sports equipment. He has asked Government officials to assist them in tax exemptions so that they can bring more sports equipment to various teams in Mwanza region.
