Tonombe credits Said for Yanga SC move, blames coronavirus for scuttling Simba SC deal

The midfielder says he was destined to join Wekundu wa Msimbazi before a number of factors cropped up and made him change his mind

Mukoko Tonombe has revealed why his move to Simba SC failed to go through before he agreed to join their arch-rivals Yanga SC.

Tonombe was brought to fill Papy Tshishimbi’s place and so far has been one of the top-performing new players with three goals.

The former AS Vita midfielder stated the coronavirus pandemic and Yanga’s Hersi Said's influence are factors that made him join Timu ya Wananchi instead.

“Yes, I knew I was headed to Simba because they were the first club I was told had an interest in me,” Tonombe told Mwanaspoti.
