Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba has outlined how he intends to revive sports in the country through the Talanta Hela programme. Mr Namwamba has explained that the programme will not only monetize talent, but it will also work towards enhancing the country's economic development. “Talanta Hela is a mixture of English and Swahili terms. Through the programme, the government will invest in the sports sector by identifying and supporting talented youth. We want to boost the economy of the country through sports,” Mr Namwamba said.

The digital space, he said, will help identify talent beyond the physical touch. Through the programme, young upcoming sportsmen and women will be able to send video clips capturing them in action to a central site which will later be reviewed by a qualified team. "We will have a team that will review the video clips sent to our digital space. If we are expressed with the individual, we will invite him or her to join a physical training," said Namwamba.
