Tanzania billionaire Mohammed Dewji has promised the Taifa Stars approximately Sh100m if they win the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup currently taking place in Uganda.

Dewji, who is in Uganda at the invitation of Nation Media Group as a keynote speaker at the Monitor Thought Leaders Forum, visited the team camp at Sajovalo Hotel, Rubaga Road.
“I have decided to give an incentive to the team to encourage them to lift the trophy,” Dewji who bankrolls Tanzanian champions Simba SC, is quoted by Daily Monitor.
“I am the owner of Simba SC in Tanzania and many of my players are in the national team but this is not about the club. I want all the players to make money out of and start a business.”
