Tanzania first female president Samia Suluhu has made an embarrassing statement saying that female footballers are “flat-chested” and unattractive to marry.
DW Africa reports that Suluhu spoke as she hosted the country’s U23 team that recently won the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup in Ethiopia.
“She claimed some players could be mistaken for men. The president also said she is concerned after they retire because marriage is a dream for some.”
