Tanzania is set to have a national sports training Village, thanks to
an initiative by one of its renowned athletic.
The sports academy will be named after the John Stephen Akhwari’, the
probably forgotten first Tanzanian athletic to participate in 1968
summer Olympics in Mexico.
The World renowned athletic, Wilhelm Gidabuday, who happened to be a
Tanzanian is behind the proposed Tsh 1 billion athletic training
village, the first of its kind in the country.
Mr Gidabuday, and a gifted Arusha based journalist and blogger, Gadiel
Urio are currently working extra time to prepare nearly 700km marathon
relay in a bid to raise fund for the purpose.
The Marathon relay from low altitude in Dar es Salaam, precisely,
Magogoni state house, to high altitude in Arusha across tarmac roads
–along highway would be held before the end of the second quarter of
2013.
The Relay across Tanzania will pass through Dar es Salaam, Coast,
Tanga, Kilimanjaro and finally Arusha.
Likewise this modern safari along the same will persuade the people
around the main roads to participate in contribution of the
fundraising campaign.
“Charity begins at home, we want to draw attention on the
underprivileged children and youths in our community and the need to
build and improve physical education infrastructure by fundraising
across Tanzania, this will prove that the center we want to build will
be owned by the people of Tanzania from west to east, south to north”
Mr Gidabuday explained.
He added: “We intend to raise Tsh1 billion at the end of the mission
in order to build the center at a location that would be decided by
nationally acclaimed sports professionals, former and present
athletes”.
The idea is to have the state-of-the art athletic training village
that would be nurturing the talented young athletes across the country.
“We want to take this opportunity to start with and by our athletic
talents that had a chance to prove for a cause of educating those with
a small chance, undiscovered and underprivileged Tanzanian youths with
talents” he stressed.
Mr Gidabuday also plans to prepare the “medal winning teams for 2016
Rio De Janeiro Olympic Games and beyond.
Rogath John Stephen Akhwari who is also a professional runner, on
behalf of his father said the centre is crucial if Tanzania is to
revive its old glory in athletic competition.
Faustine Baha Sulle, the silver medal winner in the International
Athletic Association federation half marathon, said the academy would
put Tanzania as a country in the world limelight.
