Is it his to give? I kinda wonder where he got the land- or who he took it from....

Land is Freedom and Economy. Congratulations

Leadership

Some leaders r just amazing

What if they qualify again in 2021, 2023 and 2025? Land of the soccer players? What if a soccer player doesn't need land? Can he sell it to foreigners? So many questions...

😳😳😳😳 Africa...primitive Africa

Land is better NOT t shirt

tzDiscovery How about the team coach

They get salary and land at the same time

Leadership

That is my MAN OF ACTION.CLARITY OF THOUGHT .IF YOU WANT TO SERVTRH REAL THIMA MINA AND NEW DAWN,GO TO TANZANIA!(He must just respect HUMAN RIGHTS,then he will be MY MAN!)

According to noko, modise_teko will never smell land?🤣

Yaaassss. This is progressive instead of giving them financial rewards, its restoration of dignity and affirmation of africa FabAcademic MYANC EFFSouthAfrica that's absolutely right on point. SUPPORTED COMRADE PRESIDENT

Sentletse

Politicians world over do stupid things...what does qualification for a tournament even mean to warrant such madness?messed up shit!!!

Just for qualifying...okay then

CyrilRamaphosa Are you not shocked ntwana😂ngoba phela wena Vriiiiday 'Im shocked'🙄🙄🙄🙄

So what about the 12th player?.... But Some presidents get over excited n bet players with irrelevant things..

Can the article correct the nationality of Emmunike....he is Nigerian not Cameroonian

This is problematic

Was it his land to give away..? 🤔

Now this is true empowerment 🙏🏻

CyrilRamaphosa you might need to consider and please give us some land for supporting Bafana through out the darker times. We been through a lot.

marinavanzyl What are Bafana Bafana players getting? Am asking for Percy Tau....

That's decisive leadership

Parcels ? Never stop learning do I ? Kudos my president jpmagufuli

Mringz Mringz

Don't their coach deserve a parcel of land too?

Pettines from some African leaders! Haven't even won the cup.

Could never happen in South Africa

Our president will just be shocked to see players without land. He would do a commission of enquirer for players who don’t have land.

Not a very wise move. What about the rest of the Tanzanians?

They are getting Land for sweating blood for their country, the country is therefore giving back. It is the country saying thank you Soldiers, well done!!

You never see this happening in South Africa

FollowersDrive Mugabe gifted the nation with land and they said what can black people do with land. I don't know what they, black people were doing with the land before the settlers came. I thought they must have been doing a great job for settlers to think they could live here Landless

Seriously... What of us, the Ugandans that aided it? You know we let them beat beat us easily

Resourceful. Now up to team to be innovative on how to use the land. cashnoteverything.

Only Magufuli can do such a thing. Lead them leader.

I've been there, Tanzania has become one of the many hostile countries to live in in Africa. The state wants to control everything.

So you have to play for the National team in order to qualify for a 'free' piece of land from the Tanzanian State? Absolute madness!!!

This president is life!!!

If BafanaBafana has been promised this then they would have lost..

leadership!😄

He is obviously EFFSouthAfrica without a doubt 😇😇😇

Yoh

IamMzilikazi Land is valuable in Africa so this is great

Why give land to the selected few? Unemployed youth and other can really use land for agricultural needs so Pres must be fair to all citizens

so owning land in your land of birth is luxurious...!in this case is for the selected few..?

Modimo weeee! Some ppl are enjoying their africa.

Is that his land?

leadership!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Land is dignity. God was also giving fertile land to the Israelites. The ANC gave us empty promises of land.

Imagine if they won the tournament

People should be given land not the selected few, so if you don't get a chance to do something extra ordinary for your country then does that mean you will never get land 😕. I think we got it bad!

LandExpropriationwithoutCompensation

Leadership ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿!

Get your fact right,their coach Emmanuel Emenike is a former Nigerian international not CAMEROUNIAN

Someone please tag Hage

ThabisoTema That is 100% stupidity right there! I thought the land already belonged to Tanzanian people? Is this what SA needs? Prez giving land to the connected few. What happens to the unemployed and ‘not gifted’ many in the villages? No wonder our economies are failing.

Leadership

Coincidentally I'm reading the story now...Radio2000ZA 😊 PlanetHaaibo

😂😂😂😂. CyrilRamaphosa would never

Leadership

Your president can never do that unless he ask the master for land

Oh wow, this is the real deal, it is indeed possible for the landless to be allocated land

Leadership

africaupdates A great token of appreciation and pride to the football team who makes his country proud. 5 hectar plot is sufficient for fruit and vegetable garden!!

Now that is an African president for me.

leadership

Cc PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa

I ate all my veggies last night! RaisingMyHand

That's why we also need land good gesture

Because land is everything

Besides the brilliant goals & heroic goal keeping, Bafana lacked creativity & fluidity & were disjointed. For gameplan Baxter gets ZERO. He opted for 2 left backs (Maela & Hlanti), leaving Lebo Mothiba, a natural left winger out & played one hard marker (Furman) in midfield.
