What did Govi say to footballer Mike Kibwage?
His friend, Govi, in an exclusive interview with TUKO.co.ke, showed him love and support and commended him for the feat he has had so far in his football career.
"The match was really good, Kibwage is my bro, and this will never change, having grown up together playing in the South B Police Band to where we are now. Both winning in our fields. He missed a penalty, so what? He is still an amazing guy, an amazing brother, friend and father. He is human," said Govi.

Who does Govi think of Kibwage?
The Pepeta actor also heaped praises on his friend Kibwage, referring to him as a humble and disciplined person.
"I can attest that he is one of the most humbled and disciplined people I know. It's a low moment for him, and I can understand because he is really passionate and proud of playing for the national team. I know it is weighing him down, but I just wanna encourage him that we people who are close to him, will always be here. I would really ask the fans to go easy on Mike as he has averaged very good points in all five matches, including this one. Don't forget how he headed out the Zambian attack that was almost a goal," added Govi.
According to Govi, Kenya's opponents prepared for a draw while Harambee Stars seemed to have lost confidence towards the end of the game.
"Second half, we played really well, but after the Madagascar defender went down, we lost the momentum. I was also disappointed with the substitutions that were made, as they slowed down the game pace," he further said.
What did Tanzanians say after Kenya's loss?
TUKO.co.ke featured reactions from Tanzanians who could not hold their joy after seeing the Kenyan team say goodbye to CHAN.
Some of them commended Kenya for putting up a strong fight despite the team not being as active in the previous years.
However, a majority laughed and made fun of Kenyans, and reminded them of how loud they were before the loss.
Kenyans also took the time to remind them to keep quiet after they ended up losing to Morocco.
