The Tanzanian forward had been overlooked by former head coach Zlatko Krmpotic before he left just after over a month in charge
Yanga SC passed what was seen as the first big test in the Mainland Premier League season after beating KMC FC 2-1 on Sunday at CCM Kirumba Stadium.
Yanga will remain in second place but have increased their tally to 19 points courtesy of Tuisila Kisinda and Waziri Junior’s goals. Hassan Kabunda had given KMC the lead but Yanga fought back to claim their second-biggest victory so far.
KMC took the lead in the 27th minute when Kabunda moved along the left wing before cutting in and created some space for shooting.
