Today is 51 years since the founder of Zanzibar Nation, Abeid Amaan Karume died
Karume is said to have made a great contribution to the development of the island of Zanzibar, but also on the mainland of Tanzania, he will be remembered for his great contribution in sports
Yanga and even their rivals Simba have a direct memory that will remain in the history of those clubs due to the contribution of Karume
The late Karume was the one who gave money in 1971 to make the construction of the Yanga Headquarters building possible at the intersection of Twiga and Jangwani streets, Kariakoo in Dar es Salaam.
He did the same for Simba after collaborating with them to get their building on Msimbazi street, Kariakoo, in the city of Dar es Salaam in 1971, contributing money to the construction of the building as well
Yanga has continued cooperation with the Karume family and the Zanzibars, its history making Yanga the most beloved club in the islands
The late Karume's wife, Mama Fatma Karume is a member of the Yanga club's Board of Trustees, holding the position for many years
