The move to reschedule and call off the anticipated encounter saw fans show their anger on online platforms and in mainstream media outlets
Tanzania Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa has ordered the Ministry of Sports to clear the air over the postponement of the Simba SC vs Yanga SC Premier League encounter on May 8.
Tanzania Football Federation ordered the Premier League Board to push forward the kick-off time from 17:00 EAT to 19:00 EAT. The move angered Yanga who opposed the new arrangement and left the stadium before Simba arrived claiming there were no grounds that forced the game to be rescheduled.
