both local and international tourneys.
The announcement was made by
firm’s manager Eustace Kisanga in an interview with The Citizen yesterday
following the poor development of the game after Tanzania Breweries Limited
(TBL)’s decision to pull out its sponsorship via its famous Safari Lager beer.
He said being the leading modern
pool table manufacturers in the country; they have decided to start developing
the game regionally before taking the regional winners to national assignments.
He said the game made the country
to shine internationally following the good performances of the national team
in both African and world championships. He said apart from the team event,
Tanzania also did well at the individual levels.
“In 2013, Tanzanian Patrick
Nyangusi won gold medal in the African Championship held in Zambia, it was
great honor in the country, I believe there are so many talented pool table
players like Nyangusi, but due to failure of the game to stage many
competitions, the country is now losing its prominence internationally.
“Our plan is to see all Mainland
regions conducting their regional championships in both singles and team
events, the winners will compete in the national championships.
We are real
stakeholders of the game and through that, we will develop the game as well as
business in the country,” said Kisanga.
He said they will meet with the
pool table governing body (Tapa) to see how they can conduct the game before
the end of this year.
