Until now, no local player has made headlines in this window than what Bakari Nondo Mwamnyeto did three seasons ago
The last time we witnessed football giants Tanzania Yanga, Simba and Azam FC fighting hard for the signature of a local player was the 2020/2021 season and the rock that brought them together was Mwamnyeto
He entered Yanga under captain Lamine Moro, there was no assistant captain after Juma Abdul left, so the former assistant coach, Juma Mwambusi and manager, Hafidh Saleh suggested the name of Mwamnyeto to be assistant captain and he got 16 out of 19 votes from the players
He became a democratically elected captain. Lamine's performance wavered, Mwamnyeto started to wear the captain's amban and even when Yanga left Lamine, Mwamnyeto continued to be the captain
As captain, he led Yanga to win six titles in two seasons and also reached the final of the CAF Confederation Cup
Despite his success on the field, Mwamnyeto remains the most expensive Tanzanian player who rocked the Tanzanian transfer window
