        But in all honesty, how can Dar es Salaam be described as a fishing village? Daily Mail even called Gor Mahia an unknown Kenyan team.

        We can't let any of this slide. Speaking out hurts their purse. We have to scream from the mountain tops.

        Daily mail does not know the difference between a costal city called Dar and a fishing village. Pity their their poor Geographic knowledge

        They do.They are trying to belittle the place & ppl. What is wrong with fishing village? At least it's not built on stolen money! #ZANZIBAR
