The most trending story in Tanzania today might be the imminent general elections which are set for Wednesday, but to some, especially in Dar es Salaam, Azam FC’s blistering start to the country’s Premier League is the talk of the nation’s largest city.
For some, like those taxi operators who now have Prince Dube’s posters on their vehicles, the Zimbabwean striker’s explosive arrival in Dar es Salaam has generated a lot of interest.
Azam FC have a 100 percent record in their opening seven matches of the 2020-2021 Vodacom Premier League, the first time they have achieved that feat in five years, and the main actor in that script has been Dube.
With six league goals in seven matches plus four assists, the Zimbabwean striker is the hottest player in the Tanzanian top-flight and one of the most trending footballers across African leagues. The club’s fans have already christened him the “Smiling Killer”.
“I have had a great start to life in Tanzania, people like me here in Dar es Salaam.
Some taxis have placards of me and I even have a new nickname. They now call me the Smiling Killer,” the 23-year-old Dube told The Sunday Mail Sport from his base.
From the prince of Highlanders, Zimbabwe’s oldest football kingdom, Dube is transforming himself into a king in Dar es Salaam, whose population is over six million.
Most of those people now know the name, Prince Dube, as the former Bosso star has been making football headlines in Tanzania.
“It’s a great feeling for me, to do these things in a short time,” said Dube, ahead of his club’s clash with Mtibwa Sugar at Jamhuri Stadium in Morogoro tomorrow.
“Whenever I get a chance to play, I always try to do something and I think I am getting all the support here. Sunday Mail
