Young Africans (Yanga SC) striker Fiston Mayele scooped three awards as the newly crowned Tanzanian Premier League champions dominated end-year awards.

The Congolese striker led eleven other Yanga players, by winning the best player of the just-concluded season, after beating other four players in the award night gala held at the TFF’s Technical Centre in Tanga.

Mayele outshined two Simba SC players Saido Ntibazonkiza and Mzamiru Yasin. He also beat Singida Big Stars attacking midfielder Bruno Gomez and teammate Djigui Diarra. The Congolese striker was not present in the award ceremony due to his national team commitment, whereby the chief guest, Deputy Minister for Culture, Arts, and Sports, Hamis Mwinjuma, presented the award to the player’s spouse, Charlene Kashal Kaj.
