Aziz Ki, the Yanga SC midfielder and star player, is reportedly considering leaving Tanzania amid a family dispute triggered by his surprise marriage to Tanzanian model and businesswoman Hamisa Mobetto. The tension within his family has escalated following the couple’s grand wedding, which took place on February 16, 2025, at Nnuur Mosque in Dar es Salaam. The Islamic Nikah ceremony, officiated by renowned clerics, saw Aziz Ki and Mobetto exchange vows in a stunning display of elegance, attended by close friends, sports figures, and celebrities.
While the ceremony itself was lavish and high-profile, the celebration has been marred by a public outburst from Aziz Ki’s mother. Anata Ki expressed her outrage over the way the wedding was organized, particularly criticizing Yanga SC President Hersi Said, whom she claims manipulated her son. According to Anata Ki, Hersi played a major role in orchestrating the event while intentionally keeping the family out of the loop. She accused him of using undue influence over her son, asserting that he was trying to control his future for personal gain.
In her strongly-worded statement, Anata Ki accused Hersi of dishonesty, calling him “a great liar before God” and blaming him for the lack of family involvement in the wedding planning. She questioned Hersi’s authority to arrange such an important event in her son’s life, describing him as a “poor leader” with an agenda to keep Aziz Ki in Tanzania. This outburst has further fueled speculations about Aziz Ki’s future at Yanga SC, with many questioning whether the family dispute could influence his decision to leave the club.
The 28-year-old midfielder has been one of the key figures for Yanga SC and remains a highly sought-after player in African football. His performances have caught the attention of several top clubs across the continent, including South African giants Orlando Pirates, Moroccan club Wydad Athletic Club, and Libyan outfit Al Ahli Benghazi. Reports suggest that Orlando Pirates have even made a bid of $600,000 for his services. Despite extending his contract with Yanga SC last season, the ongoing family tensions and frustration over off-field matters may prompt him to seek a new challenge elsewhere.
In recent months, Yanga SC has been determined to retain their star player, rejecting several offers from clubs keen on securing his signature. However, with the growing strain in his personal life and the pressure from his family, Aziz Ki’s future at the club is now uncertain. His mother’s public discontent only adds to the belief that he may be leaning toward an exit. Furthermore, his marriage to Mobetto has raised questions about her influence on his future decisions, as the businesswoman has long been linked to prominent figures. Her presence in Aziz Ki’s life could encourage him to consider exploring opportunities beyond Tanzanian football.
Yanga SC, which was recently eliminated from the CAF Champions League after a disappointing loss to MC Alger, is facing the possibility of losing one of its most valuable players. The club has been working hard to secure Ki’s future, but with mounting pressure from his family and lucrative offers from overseas, it appears increasingly likely that the midfielder may soon part ways with the club.
As the situation continues to develop, all eyes will be on Aziz Ki to see whether the combination of personal and professional factors will lead him to leave Yanga SC or if he will find a way to reconcile with his family and stay in Tanzania. Whatever decision he makes, it is clear that the upcoming period will be crucial in shaping the next chapter of his career.
