The Kinondoni District Commissioner, Saad Mtambule, has paid for passports for some boxers from the national boxing team who could not afford them.
Mtambule made the payment today at the Immigration Office, where he was accompanied by the Chairperson of the Women’s Committee of the National Boxing Federation (BFT).
He also called on others to support the national women’s boxing team in any way they can.
The Chairperson of the BFT Women’s Committee, Aisha George, thanked the DC for his support.
"What the DC has done is a big help to these athletes. It allows them to chase their dreams. We ask other leaders to follow his example and support the government’s efforts, led by President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, to develop sports talents.
We promise to bring victory in the world championships," said Aisha George.
Recently, from January 31 to February 2, the Samia Women Boxing Championship was held at Kawe Beach in Dar es Salaam.
The event aimed to select fighters for a training camp before the World Boxing Championship, which will take place in Serbia from March 6 to 17.
Mtambule was the guest of honor on the last day of the championship. He had promised to help the boxers with their passports, and today, he has fulfilled that promise.
