Katibu wa Chama cha Riadha Tanzania (RT), Suleiman Nyambui amemtaka mtu yeyote anayeweza kuongoza chama hicho ajitokeze ili yeye ang’atuke na kumwachia madaraka. Nyambui alisema katika mahojiano kuwa yuko tayari kujiuzulu wadhifa huo ndani ya RT kama atatokea mtu ambaye anadhani akimwachia cheo hicho ataweza kuleta mafanikio katika mchezo huo. Kigogo huyo wa RT alisema amekuwa akifanyiwa fitina na baadhi ya watu waliowahi kumshawishi kuungana nao ili wapate fursa ya kuitumia RT kufanya maovu yao, lakini walipokumbana na ‘kigingi’ chake wameanza kumfanyia fitina. “Baadhi ya watu wananizungumzia vibaya. Lakini niko tayari kuondoka RT hata leo kama mimi ndiyo kikwazo cha mafanikio ya riadha endapo tu akitokea mtu ambaye atanithibitishia kuwa ana uwezo wa kuleta mafanikio,” alisema Nyambui.

Dioniz Malinzi / Bosi wa Baraza la Michezo Tanzania Mwaka 2014 unakaribia kumalizika. Ni dhahiri hali ni mbaya katika medani ya michezo nchini na hiyo ni kutokana na matokeo tuliyoona kwa timu na wanamichezo wetu. Kimsingi, Tanzania imeharibu na kutia aibu kuanzia soka, ambayo ndiyo mchezo maarufu, hadi michezo mingine. Viongozi wenye dhamana katika michezo na wao wanaingiza siasa badala ya kuangalia nini wajibu wao na kwa chama na manufaa ya taifa. Tumewahi kupiga kelele sana katika eneo la michezo kuwa udhaifu wa uongozi na hasa kwa kutokuwa na dhamira na dira ya maendeleo, ndiyo kunachangia kutopiga hatua. Kuvurunda kwa wanamichezo wa Tanzania katika mashindano mbalimbali, kutokana na kukosa umakini na zaidi ni udhaifu wa uongozi katika vyama na klabu. Kwa jinsi hiyo, itachukua muda mrefu Tanzania kupiga hatua katika michezo kama mfumo wa utendaji ndani ya vyama hautabadilika.
