IRINGA. A Lawyer, Sosten Mbedule has donated sports equipment to the Iringa District Council to support their teams in the upcoming National Local Government Workers’ Sports Tournament (SHIMISEMITA).

I’m inspired by our President’s dedication to promoting sports across the country,” Mbedule stated.
Iringa District Council employees have already begun training for the tournament, which is scheduled to take place from August 24 to September 5, 2024.
