Coronavirus: Tanzania league resumption plan should not pressurize Kenya, Uganda - Situma

Former Harambee Stars defender James Situma has explained why Tanzania's move to resume their sporting activities should not put pressure their neighbours.

Tanzania President John Pombe Magufuli, on Sunday, hinted that he could allow sporting activities to be carried out again as early as this week, given the decreasing number of coronavirus cases in the country.

Although Football Kenya Federation (FKF) moved to cancel the leagues, the decision was referred to the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT). If the SDT would move to annul FKF's move, Kenya might see a return of action.
