Baraka Gamba Majogoro (born 15 May 1996) is a Tanzanian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Chippa United in the South African Premier Division.
In Tanzania, Majogoro played for a string of clubs that usually finished 8th or below on the table: Prisons, Ndanda, Polisi, Mtibwa Sugar and lastly KMC.[1][2]
Majogoro made his international debut for Tanzania in the 2019 CECAFA Cup. He was later called up to the 2020 African Nations Championship, held in 2021, and played three matches.[1] He scored his first international goal against Guinea, described as a "wonder goal".[3]
In the summer of 2023, he moved to South African Premier Division side Chippa United.[4] He stopped at 16 games during his first season in South Africa.[5] Nonetheless, after only a few league games in South Africa, Majogoro attracted interest from other clubs as well as South African media.[6] The manager Morgan Mammila compared him to Andile Jali at his prime, as well as likening his playing style to Patrick Vieira.[7] The media propagated rumours about a move to a bigger club.[8][9]
In the summer of 2024, Majogoro stayed in Chippa United, who also signed another Tanzanian player Gadiel Kamagi.[10]
