Meanwhile, former Mukwenda, Owek.

He called on leaders, especially those from Buddu, to support the team by contributing financially to help it reach the finals and win the cup.
Team Manager Ssalongo Zziwa Steven emphasized that the team has shown great potential and every match played has built hope. He encouraged all people of Buddu to come out in full force and support their team throughout the tournament.

This gesture demonstrates his commitment to promoting sports and community development in Buddu. It also comes at a crucial time when the team is mobilizing resources to boost its chances of reclaiming the Masaza Cup title this 2025 season.
Kanso Muyizzi Samuel, another contender for the Nyendo-Mukungwe parliamentary seat, has pledged to cover the costs of match venues for every game Buddu will play in this year’s Masaza Cup tournament.
His commitment is seen as a major boost to the team’s preparations and morale as they strive to reach and win the finals. Muyizzi emphasized that supporting sports is part of his broader vision to uplift the youth and promote unity within the division through football and community involvement.
