Tanzanian artist Pado Mc has officially dropped a new song titled “Hatuchezi”, inspired by the postponed Yanga vs Simba derby, which was set to take place on March 8. The track reflects the frustration of Yanga fans after the match was called off due to a dispute between the two clubs.
Why Was the Derby Postponed?
The much-anticipated showdown between Young Africans SC (Yanga) and Simba SC was postponed by the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) after Simba refused to play. The controversy arose when Simba was denied access to train at the stadium a day before the match, as it is Yanga’s home ground. Feeling unfairly treated, Simba opted to boycott the game, leading to its official postponement.
Pado Mc’s Message in “Hatuchezi”
In response to the situation, Pado Mc released “Hatuchezi”, a song that delivers a bold message: Yanga will not play against Simba this season following Simba’s refusal to compete. The title, which translates to “We are not playing”, emphasizes Yanga’s frustration over the events that unfolded.
