FRANCISTOWN: Tanzanian side, Singida Fountain Gate has explained why they did not sign highly-rated Zebras midfielder, Mothusi Cooper. Singida is one of the stable teams in the Tanzanian Premier League.

The club finished fourth in the just-ended season and is now led by a Motswana, former Botswana Football Association (BFA) head of competitions, Olebile Sikwane, who is the club's CEO.

Recently, the club expressed a desire to sign Cooper after his failed move to South African Premier League side, Cape Town Spurs. “When you play CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup you’ve got to be ambitious and make sure you get the best soldiers for the battle. Trust me, Cooper would do wonders for Tanzania.
