Watch Kanye West Joy Ride With Desiigner in Raw 'Panda' Video

New York rapper Desiigner joy rides with Kanye West in the gritty, raw video for his breakout single, "Panda."

Budding New York MC Desiigner has delivered a gritty, frantic video for his breakout single, "Panda," which boasts a cameo from the rapper's biggest co-signer, Kanye West.

The clip premiered at a special event for Tidal members at Jay Z's 40/40 Club, and will be available exclusively on the streaming service for the next seven days (though both subscribers and non-subscribers can watch).

The "Panda" video opens with various shots of New York City at night, the camera movements growing increasingly unstable until Desiigner finally steals an unsuspecting man's car at gunpoint. The rest of the clip finds the MC speeding and prowling around the city while fights break out in the streets and cops bust down doors. West appears near the end, jumping behind the wheel of the white BMW the song's title refers to.

West notably inked Desiigner to a G.O.O.D. Music deal and prominently sampled "Panda" on The Life of Pablo's, "Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 2." At the end of April, "Panda" reached Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first New York rap song to do so since Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind" in 2009.

Desiigner will make his late-night TV debut on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert tomorrow, April 11th.

           Coach Hall to quit Azam

Azam head coach Stewart Hall will quit his role in charge of the ice cream makers at the end of this season.

The British tactician, who is at the Tanzanian side for this third spell, skipped training last Thursday after handing in a resignation letter but was convinced by club management to stay on until the Federation Cup final against newly crowned league champions Yanga.

Hall told supersport.com in an exclusive interview that, “I will not be in charge of Azam FC next season. My last game is the Federation Cup final against Yanga.”

Close sources revealed that, “It is not a secret that Hall has been frustrated by the continuous match fixing in Tanzania, something he feels has sabotaged his attempt to march the big guns in Yanga and Simba especially in trying to win the league title.”

Hall has failed to win the Vodacom Premier League title in all his three tenures at the helm of Azam including the 2010-2012 spell before he was replaced by Serbian Boris Bunjak for a few months.

Hall took over again in 2012 before leaving at the end of the 2012/2013 season with Cameroonian Joseph Omog taking over the icecream makers guiding them to the 2013/2014 league title.

Hall replaced Omog in 2015 and guided Azam to their first regional title after defeating Kenyan side Gor Mahia 2-0 to lift the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup titlebefore inspiring them to the round of 16 in the Caf Confederation Cup last month.

Azam defeated Esperance 2-1 in Dar es Salaam but fell to the North African giants 3-0 in Tunis in the absence of key players including Kipre Tche Tche, Serge Wawa, Shomari Kapombe and Jean Baptiste Mugiraneza with most critics deeming this as a failure for the club that has invested a lot of money in buying foreign players.

Azam will represent Tanzania in the 2017 Caf Confederation Cup with or without victory against Yanga in the Federation Cup later this month.

Hall’s side is second placed on the VPL table standings with 60 points from 28 games, eight points behind champions Yanga who have a game in hand and have 68 points.

Yanga were crowned the 2016 league champions with three games to spare following Azam’s 2-2 draw with JKT Ruvulast Wednesday and Simba’s shock loss to Mwadui FC on Sunday. Simba sit in third with 58 points from 27 games.

LVG refuses to blame bus attack for setback

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal put on a brave face and refused to blame an attack on his team's bus for the serious setback to his side's Champions League hopes at West Ham United.

Tuesday's gripping 3-2 loss, which was preceded by the United team bus being pelted with cans and bottles outside the east London ground, leaves Van Gaal's men needing to beat Bournemouth in their final match on Sunday and hope Manchester City lose at Swansea City if they are to creep into the Premier League's top four.

"No, it is still not gone," Van Gaal said of a top-four finish following the final match of West Ham's 112-year tenure at the Boleyn Ground.

"In the last match of the season we can pass over Manchester City. They can lose and we can win. Then we are fourth. You can count, I think?"

Van Gaal said to blame the bus attack for the result would have been an "excuse", but he conceded that it could have affected his younger players.

"I have a long experience in football and there are players who don't have the experience," said the 64-year-old Dutchman.

While United still have an FA Cup final date with Crystal Palace to come on May 21, missing out on a top-four place would represent a massive disappointment, but Van Gaal believed Swansea could give City a hard battle.

"I don't think it is not likely. In this league it happens a lot and Swansea City has a very good run.

"It is a mental blow for the players, but against Bournemouth we have to give everything so that we don't give Manchester City a free trip into the Champions League."

FA INVESTIGATION

The Football Association announced an investigation after United's bus was pelted with missiles outside the ground, causing a 45-minute delay to the kick-off.

The Metropolitan police said one officer and one member of the public had sustained minor injuries.

United goalkeeper David de Gea also appeared to have objects thrown at him during the game.

West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan blamed the visitors for not arriving earlier, but United captain Wayne Rooney said that "West Ham as a club will be disappointed with what the fans have done".

A video posted on United midfielder Jesse Lingard's Snapchat account showed several United players sheltering on the floor inside the bus while Lingard mockingly shouted: "Mummy!"

Needing to win to keep their top-four destiny in their own hands, United fell behind in the 10th minute when Manuel Lanzini teed up Diafra Sakho to score.

Anthony Martial scored twice to put United ahead, but Michail Antonio equalised with a bullet header before Dimitri Payet teed up Winston Reid to head home an 80th-minute winner.

'SPECIAL GAME'

The goal was a fitting conclusion to West Ham's 2 398th and final match at the Boleyn Ground – also known as Upton Park – which the club will leave next season for London's Olympic Stadium.

The match was followed by an on-pitch ceremony featuring pyrotechnics and London taxi cabs, while club greats Trevor Brooking, Martin Peters and Paolo Di Canio were presented to the crowd.

"It was a special game," West Ham manager Slaven Bilic told Sky Sports.

"It was big, big pressure for us, although I told the guys, 'However we finish the last couple of games, this season has been great for West Ham in terms of breaking a few records and everything.'

"We were till the end in a couple of competitions and battling for the Europa League and a good run in the FA Cup, so it was good, very good or excellent, but we were under pressure.

"We didn't want to lose our last game at this fantastic stadium. We just wanted to win and this was a win of character."

West Ham returned to sixth place, reclaiming a Europa League berth from Southampton in the process, ahead of their final game of the season at Stoke City on Sunday.

Zanaco test for Power Dynamos

Power Dynamos interim coach Anderson Phiri has a big test on Wednesday, when his side visits Zanaco in a rescheduled Week 5 match at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka.

This will be Phiri’s second game in charge after making a winning start last Saturday with a 1-0 home win over Nkwazi, in Kitwe following the dismissal of his ex-boss Tennant Chilumba on Thursday.

That win lifted Power from 8th to 6th on 13 points in what has so far been a stuttering start for the six-time champions this season.

Phiri said he is staying very calm also knowing that Wednesday’s match will be first of two big away tests for him ahead of Saturday’s Kitwe derby clash leaders Nkana.

“We have two away games starting on Wednesday when we travel to Lusaka to play Zanaco. It is a different ball game altogether but we have prepared even though we had just one day to get ready for it,” Phiri said.

Zanaco, unlike Power, are unbeaten this season with a 100 percent start in 3rd place on 15 points from five matches played with three games in hand.

Power are two points behind Zanaco and know another victory will move them into 4th place tied with Zanaco who have a healthier goal difference.

However, Power have yet to win away this season after picking up two defeats and a 0-0 draw at Lusaka Dynamos on April 16.

Power trace their last away league win in Lusaka to August, 2015 when they beat Napsa Stars 1-0 but earlier fell by the same margin to Zanaco in April.

Maritzburg targeting Ajax scalp

Maritzburg United are at home this week welcoming Ajax Cape Town in an aim to salvage their Absa Premiership status on Wednesday night at Harry Gwala Stadium. Kick-off is at 7:30pm.

The struggling Team Of Choice is hoping to bag the full three points in their penultimate Absa Premiership tie following their 0-0 draw against Orlando Pirates last weekend.

Coach Ernst Middendorp is fully aware that the match is crucial for their PSL survival and will now have to ensure his charges are in fine form.

The bottom-placed side cannot afford to lose or drop points at this stage of the season as their future in the top flight division hangs by a thread.

Looking at their previous three league matches, they registered one win against Free State Stars, a draw against Eric Tinkler's side before losing to SuperSport United.

They still remain rooted at the wrong end of the table with 21 points from 28 matches and a win will revive their hopes heading to the final match of the season.

Speaking after the match at Orlando Stadium, Middendorp said he accepted a point from their Buccaneers' clash.

"I personally can accept the point despite being so close to getting more. We did well in the end but didn't score," said Middendorp.

"We still have an opportunity against Ajax so we are going for it, with nothing to lose.

“Compliments to the players for the effort today. We have seen that there is a lot of fight, spirit and desire in the team. The frustrations are the same whether you fight for the title or fight relegation. We just have to look to the next game.

“This is nothing new. I've taken teams from the bottom up to safety. I like this challenge, working within these elements.”

Shifting focus to the Urban Warriors, Roger De Sa's men are also chasing a win at all costs to ensure they reach the top eight.

The Capetonians will have to go all out and ensure they qualify for the MTN8 Cup tournament and boost their chances of defending their trophy.

However, facing a team of United's calibre who are fighting for their lives presents a challenge for the visiting Ajax, especially meeting them in Maritzburg.

The Mother City side defeated the Team of Choice 3-1 in the first round, but this time around, it's going to be a different football game as both sides want the three points for different reasons.

In their previous three matches, Ajax suffered a disappointing 5-0 loss against Bloemfontein Celtic, drew 0-0 against league champions Mamelodi Sundowns as well as a 2-2 stalemate against relegation threatened Jomo Cosmos last Wednesday.

As they occupy the 10th spot with 34 points from two matches to go, De Sa will now push his team to fight for the full three points and make it two wins over United this season.

Goalkeeper Anssi Jaakkola says they must fix their errors as a team because that has led to loss of points and matches.

“Maybe our concentration isn’t where it should be because the players seem to be accepting these mistakes game after game,” said Jaakkola. “It’s costing us points and it looks like it is going to cost us the top eight. It is something that we need to fix.

“We still make too many mistakes as a team. We lose the ball too easily and when it comes to counter attacking, in those situations we are still too exposed and very vulnerable.

“These are things that we need to get rid of because it has been costing us games the entire season especially the ones we could have easily won.”

KIKWETE AGOMA KUMKABIDHI CHAMA MAGUFULI.


Hali si shwari ndani ya Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), kutokana na mchakato unaoendelea wa kumkabidhi Rais Dk. John Magufuli uenyekiti wa chama hicho, kukumbwa na sintofahamu.

Taarifa kutoka ndani kikao cha Kamati Kuu ya Halmashauri Kuu ya Taifa (CC), kilichofanyika juzi Ikulu ya Chamwino, mkoani Dodoma, zimethibitisha kutokea mgawanyiko wa vigogo ndani ya chama hicho.

Hali hiyo imekuja baada ya kutokea kwa mvutano juu ya tarehe rasmi ya kufanyika kwa mkutano mkuu maalumu uliopangwa Juni mwaka huu, ambao pamoja na mambo mengine Mwenyekiti wa chama hicho taifa, Rais mstaafu Jakaya Kikwete atakabidhi kijiti kwa Rais Magufuli.

Chanzo cha kuaminika ndani ya kikao hicho kilidokeza  kuwa, kabla kilifanyika kikao kidogo kilichokuwa na wajumbe wanne ambao pamoja na mambo mengine walijadili ajenda muhimu  ikiwamo ya kupanga tarehe kwa ajili ya mkutano huo.

Kwa mujibu wa chanzo hicho, kikao hicho kidogo kilishirikisha viongozi wanne akiwemo Mwenyekiti wa chama hicho Jakaya Kikwete, Rais Dk. John Magufuli, Makamu wa Rais, Samia Suluhu Hassan na Katibu Mkuu wa CCM, Abdulrahman Kinana.

Habari hizo zinaeleza kuwa, katika kikao hicho kidogo viongozi hao walikubaliana wakatangaze tarehe rasmi, na Rais Magufuli alikubali kukabidhiwa uenyekiti wa chama kama ulivyo utaratibu wa CCM  lakini baada ya kikao cha Kamati Kuu kuanza, Kikwete alikataa kuruhusu hoja hiyo ijadiliwe, hatua iliyozua mfarakano.

“Baada ya kumalizika kwa kikao kile viongozi hao wanne waliingia ndani ya kikao cha CC ambacho kilikuwa na ajenda kadhaa ikiwemo ya mkutano mkuu maalumu ambapo mwenyekiti alirusha na kutaka hoja ya tarehe isijadiliwe,” kilisema chanzo hicho.

Kwa mujibu wa chanzo hicho, ilipofika ajenda ya tatu ambayo iliwasilishwa na Katibu Mkuu, Kinana kuhusu kutangazwa kwa tarehe ya mkutano mkuu maalumu,  Kikwete aligoma isijadiliwe na badala yake aliahirisha kikao na kutoka nje.

Chanzo hicho kilisema, uamuzi wa Mwenyekiti Kikwete wa kuahirisha kikao ulijikita katika suala la gharama za mkutano ambazo zinakadiriwa kuwa ni zaidi ya Sh bilioni mbili, hivyo aliwataka wajumbe waahirishe kikao ili kutoa fursa ya kutafuta fedha.

Taarifa hizo zilieleza kuwa, kutokana na hali hiyo yaliibuka makundi mawili, moja linalomuunga mkono Kikwete na jingine linalopingana na hoja hiyo, likidai kuwa fedha si tatizo kwa chama hicho kwa kwani kina miradi, ruzuku na marafiki wengi.

“Wanaompinga mwenyekiti walishangazwa na hoja hiyo wakisema kuwa, suala la fedha ni la watendaji wa chama na si la mwenyekiti, kitendo ambacho wamekitafsiri kwamba mwenyekiti hana dhamira ya dhati ya kukabidhi chama kwa sasa,” kilisema chanzo hicho.

Chanzo hicho kiliendelea kutoa taarifa kuwa, baada ya Kikwete kugoma kujadili tarehe alisimama mjumbe Jenista Mhagama, ambaye alipinga uamuzi huo, huku akisema suala hilo ni lazima lijadiliwe kwa kina na tarehe ya mkutano mkuu itangazwe.

“Kauli ya mwenyekiti inaonekana iliwaudhi baadhi ya wajumbe, lakini Jenista alizungumza vizuri sana na kumhoji mwenyekiti inakuaje hataki kusema lini utafanyika mkutano mkuu maalumu ili akabidhi chama.

“Maana suala la makabidhiano ni la utamaduni wa ndani ya CCM, Jenista alisema aliyekaa muda mrefu alikuwa Baba wa Taifa Mwalimu Julius Nyerere pekee lakini na yeye alikabidhi kwa mzee Mwinyi (Ali Hassan) na pia ilipofika wakati kama huu mzee Mwinyi naye alikabidhi kwa mzee Mkapa.

“Si hilo tu hata mzee Mkapa naye alikabidhi chama kwake (Jakaya Kikwete), sasa inakuwaje yeye leo hataki kufuata utaratibu huo ambao ni wa kawaida ndani ya chama?,” kilihoji chanzo hicho.

Chanzo kingine cha habari kilisema kuwa baada ya mwenyekiti huyo wa CCM taifa kuahirisha kikao hicho juzi, aliondoka na kurejea jijini Dar es Salaam kwa gari tofauti na ratiba iliyokuwa imepangwa.

“Ratiba ya chama ilikuwa baada ya kikao cha jana (juzi) mwenyekiti angelala Dodoma na badala yake alipoahirisha kikao kwa utata alipanda kwenye gari na kuondoa hali ya kuwa alitakiwa kurejea Dar leo (jana).

“Baada ya kikao hicho alitoka mzee Kinana akiwa amekasirika sana, tena huku akiwa amekunja sura, unajua siku zote mzee Kinana anaamini kwamba kile kilichokuwa kinapiganiwa na chama hivi sasa ndicho kinachotekelezwa na Rais Magufuli tena kwa vitendo tofauti na huko nyuma,” kilisema chanzo chetu.

Baraza la Wazee kukutana
Taarifa nyingine zinaarifu   kwamba, kutokana na hali hiyo Baraza la Wazee la CCM linaloundwa na viongozi wastaafu, linatarajiwa kukutana kati ya leo na kesho kwa lengo la kujadili hali hiyo ili kuondoa mtanziko huo uliojitokeza.

“Ninachotaka kukuambia katika kipindi cha siku mbili baraza la ushauri la wazee litakutana na kujadili hali hii na baada ya hapo watakwenda kwa mwenyekiti kumshauri juu ya uamuzi wake na autafakari kwa kina.

“Tunajua tunakwenda vizuri katika hili na hakuna kitakachoharibika na wazee wetu watamshauri vema mwenyekiti ili kupata mwafaka wa kudumu na mkutano mkuu utafanyika mwezi uliopangwa,” chanzo hicho kilisema.

Baraza la Ushauri la Wazee wa CCM, linaongozwa na Rais mstaafu wa awamu ya pili, Ali Hassan Mwinyi (Mwenyekiti), Pius Msekwa (Katibu) na wajumbe ni Rais mstaafu Benjamin Mkapa pamoja na Makamu Mwenyekiti wa CCM mstaafu (Bara), John Malecela.

SIMBA YAVULIWA UBIGWA MAPINDUZI CUP.


Wekundu wa Msimbazi Simba wamevuliwa ubingwa Mapinduzi Cup na Mtibwa Sugar kwenye mchezo wa nusu fainali uliomalizika jioni ya Jumapili January 10, 2016 baada ya kulala kwa bao 1-0 lilikwamishwa wavuni na Ibrahim Jeba dakika ya 45 kipindi cha kwanza.

Simba walibanwa vilivyo na Mtibwa Siugar ambao walitawala eneo la katikati ya uwanja wakiongozwa na viungo wao hatari Ibrahim Jeba pamoja na Ibrahim Mohamed ambao kwa pamoja walizima mipango nay a Simba katika muda wote wa mchezo.

Kipindi cha pili Simba walifanya mabadiliko kwa kuwangiza wachezaji watatu kwa mpigo Said Ndemla, Ibrahim Ajib na Mohamed Hussein Tshabalala ambao mara ningi wamekuwa wakicheza kwenye kikosi cha kwanza lakini kwenye mchezo wa leo walianzia benchi.

Madiliko hayo yalileta tija kwa Simba kwani mchezo ulibadilika na Simba kutengeneza mashambulizi kadhaa lakini sifa za pekee ziende kwa safu ya ulinzi ya Mtibwa ikiongozwa na golikipa wao Said Mohamed ambaye aliokoa michomo ya washambuliaji wa Simba.

Wakati dakika zikiyoyoma, kocha wa Simba Dylan Kerr alifanya tena mabadiliko kwa kuwaingiza Paul Kiongera na Abdi Banda lakini bado Jahazi lake lilishaenda mrama.

Mtibwa wamelipa kisasi kutokana na kupata ushindi kwenye mchezo wa leo baada ya kupoteza mchezo wa fainali mbele ya Simba kwenye mashindano yaliyopita na hivyo Simba wamevuliwa rasmi ubingwa wa Mapinduzi Cup.

Wakali hao wa Morogoro watacheza mchezo wa fainali siku ya Jumatano, January 13 dhidi ya mshindi wa mechi kati ya Yanga dhidi ya URA ya Uganda.
