Simba SC star Mkude admits he drinks alcohol but he knows his limits

The long-serving midfielder defends his recent decision to skip training with Taifa Stars saying he is not quitting football soon

Simba SC midfielder Jonas Mkude has moved to defend his disciplinary record just days after he skipped training at the Tanzania national team.

Mkude hits headlines after he failed to report to the recently dissolved national team, Taifa Stars camp in Dar es Salaam, ahead of the 2020 African Nations Championship (Chan) finals as well as the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers.

However, the camp was dissolved on Tuesday, following an order by Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa, who announced the cancelation of all sporting activities and events, as part of strengthening preventive measures to avoid the spread of Covid-19.
