A second year student of the Saint Augustine University of
Tanzania (SAUT) Mbeya campus, Moses Mashaka (24) has hanged himself to death
allegedly after the UK based football team of a Liverpool to which he is
supporting as a staunch soccer fan was kicked off in a tournament.
The team had failed to score the European Club Championship after
it was beaten by the powerful Real Madrid soccer team of Spain in a final match
held last week.
The Mbeya city Police
Commander ACP Musa Taib said that the late Moses hanged himself after he had
miraculously entered in betting with hopes that his team would win the game,
but was angered when he learned that his team had failed to become champion. “A
second year student of SAUT in Mbeya campus who was taking Bachelor of Arts in
Education has died after he had entered in betting and had deposited unspecified
sum of money and later on when he had realized his team had failed, he took the
decision of taking out his life”, said commander Taibu. Either Commander Taibu
has appealed to students to refrain from such an extravagant expenditure of
their pocket money given to them by their parents, and venture into an illegal
betting game which is not directly associated with their education matters and
a result of which ends up in great loss.
