Because of their support, we have succeeded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, former player Seif Baus suggested that it would have been better for the committee responsible to run Mapinduzi Cup to put in place some qualifications to be possessed by those teams which compete in the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor now, I do not know what criteria they use to select the teams but, it could have been better to establish them in order to make the competition much better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThe reason for Zanzibar teams to exit early in this year\u2019s Mapinduzi Cup tournament can be the fact that all teams which came from Tanzania mainland do trade in the Premier League but out of four teams from here (Chipukizi and Jamhuri), they play in the First Division League (FDL) as such, you cannot expect fair challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
