Sweet, bitter and pride of Rage

ONCE in 1990, the name of Ismail Aden Rage was called to one of the airports in Europe. Reporter uttered his name in English (pronounced Reij).Rage went on strike to happen. Name was called again and again. Later he went to tell the characters that did not appear because they pronounced his name wrong. He is not called Reij. Called rage. If linatamkika just as it reads.What happened on that day to achieve that, it is working on the story for another day. Suffice it to say that one event, you can get one, among many, the life of an athlete, a politician and this merchant.When I go to his home, Post office in Dar es Salaam ready for this interview last week, the way I have wondered questions about what exactly I want to get from him.I could talk to him about politics. This is the legislator who passed the State Tabora Urban CCM. She has participated in Tanzanian politics for 15 years and I see that this is not an area that I enjoyed talking to him.I saw it good to talk to him about the game that he and I have loved; Football. Game who has served for at least 30 years ago.There are three things that football fans are known Rage Tanzania. First, his pride when he decided proudly, his knowledge of the rules and regulations of football and its tendency to love doing things for the first time.And Rage knows proudly.Let's take the example of one incident occurred in the 1980s club Yanga was the first country to get a chance to do a tour in Brazil. When I returned to the country, his fans were exultant indeed.Rage came Simba Secretary General in 1983, he decided to take. Ukatafutwa procedure and Red Msimbazi they would visit the Samba nation for 45 days.Rage boasted; "Simba was the first team to sub-Saharan Africa to travel to Brazil and stay there for 45 days that was never done before."Yanga they were going to Brazil before us but stayed seven days. We spent 45 days more comfortable, they were passed by way of a tomkato, Maseru, Johannesburg do not know and where before reaching Brazil."We Simba we went through in the International Airport of Charles de Gaulle in France before heading to Rio de Jeneiro, Brazil, where we stayed. Yanga They do not know what parts went villages in Brazil, "says Rage laughing.It is clear that injoi is cast down 'accusations' traditional birthplace such woman.He begins to remind me how ilivyoifunga Yanga Simba 5-0 when he was chairman. I say it is time to talk yet come.Accounting has become footballerOne thing that Rage is accepted is that he was a gift from the football saga is still limited. However, he knew that his life would culminate in the accounting profession.Leaders Simba they saw Rage in the match between the teams of the Business School Shinyanga (SHYCOM) and Yanga taken in the Karume Stadium in Dar es Salaam in 1972. At that time you called Ilala Stadium.He was a student at the school. In the match played as a defensive midfielder. Ananisimulia such that its days, and playwright at the time, Salim Said Salim, served to label the name of the "All Rounder".If he were playing the era of the late Dominick Chilambo women, probably would have called patch.In his statement, there are three things that he did that day appearance helped Simba finally registered. First played well, the two wore red socks while others all wore blue socks and shoe gave him three stars of Yanga, Kitwana Manara.Rage also scored in the match where the result was 1-1 until the break. However in the second half, chewing SHYCOM the other four goals and the match ended with a 5-1 result.I asked why such an altered state and said "the problem is that there are colleagues were interested in Yanga and placed in the second half".The match ended, some fans Yanga led by one who was known by the name of Rage mobbed left wanting to beat him for alleged bad foul Kitwana Manara shelves. He was saved by Lions fans who came to watch the match.Simba wanted to take the time and trouble, but there was one; Rage was supposed to go to the training of the National Service (JKT) in accordance with the law."Permissible to join the Lions would go JKT. Leaders of the club went to Mzee Rashid Kawawa, who was Defence Minister at the time and he asked the former head of JKT, Lawrance Gama, let me do. Then I was allowed, "he said.There is no evidence linking him directly to Gama club Simba Mzee Kawawa but number one is a member of the Lions Club. This is according to the official records of the club. Card number one is provided with respect.It is in order this very moment, one of Yanga card known that it is the Father of the Nation, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere. This, In'Sha Allah, there is another issue that will come to explain better days.Simba HistoricWhile Rage was registered to play for Simba, the club had collected ambitious squad which many say is the best team ever in the history of the club.No wonder that Rage are teased that if he played more games in his three years he spent in Simba, then the match shall not exceed ten. I asked it feel to be on a team like that and not play."I was staying with my bench quite satisfied. I was able to play well at number four and six. Now when I saw Simba four numbers Athumani Juma and Aloo Wild. Number five was present Chogo sixth chamber was Khalid Abeid."Sikufichi, all these were most likely kunizidi. Even if I had the ability and I really wanted to play, these families were still eligible."I remember once one Khalid, and thanks very much for that, he would leave me I play it by pretending he is ill. That's why I played more like numbers than four places and do not iniumi spirit."There was never a coach to teach me the ball and told me to be a good football team that started the match not. A good team is one that has a good bench. That if there is a problem, someone from the bench to adjust."Therefore, our era, players who sit the bench yes they were very priceless dignity. This is because these are the ones they have in mind to read the game and they came in they changed things, "he said.Simba and Mehalla El KubraSimba has suffered many international matches but few games are ever talking than the controversy between him and Mehalla dealt in Egypt.Simba has set a record at the time was to become the first team to Tanzania to play the semi-finals of the Tournament of Champions of Africa.The first leg was hit Dar es Salaam and Simba won 1-0. The second leg was going wild over the tear gas canisters were conquered pitch.Ismail Aden Rage was sitting on the bench witnessing the match. What happened?
