The date will definitely change but we have to agree on the venue and confirm its availability before we can announce new details.\u201d said Shabana chairman Jared Nivaton to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Since they were promoted Shabana have been eager to build on their fan base and sell merchandize. This friendly against a rival was an important cog in building excitement amongst their fan base.<\/p>\n<h3>Walusimbi stays<\/h3>\n<p>Contrary to earlier reports, Uganda Cranes full back Godfrey Walusimbi will stay at Gor Mahia. There were earlier reports that he was due to attend trials at AS Vita for Congo DR. This is one bit of good transfer news at a time when the Gor Mahia fan base has faced a torrent of unwelcome news.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Lordvick Aduda also announced that the club is working on replacing key players who have left or are in the process of leaving.<\/p>\n<div id=\"stcpDiv\">\u201cWe are following up on a player from West Africa but playing in Tunisia and two other players from within East Africa,\u201d said the source.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"stcpDiv\">\u201cTher e are good players who we believe can fit into the boots of those who have left or maybe leaving but then again, it is only in the early days of the transfer window so we can\u2019t speak with finality. The one thing I can assure you is that when our house is raided, Gor will respond with equal or better force.\u201d he said to the Star newspaper<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-vs-shabana-called-off\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The much anticipated Jamhuri day encounter pitting Gor Mahia and Shabana that was dubbed the Nyanza derby has been canceled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[252,260,261],"class_list":["post-5804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-godfrey-walusimbi","tag-gor-mahia-vs-shabana","tag-nyanza-derby"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5804\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
