The salary of Hashim Thabeet is expected to be around $4,458,840 US dollars.Hashim has suffered a lot before becoming a professional basketball players like other talented Tanzanians he was not recognized in Tanzania until he was recognized abroad.
We believe there are lot of professionals in Tanzania but due to lack of support and commitment of sports organisations and government in general their professions has been buried on ground.
Having professionals like Hashim abroad will help our country to create new opportunities outside our borders.Best of luck Hashim in your career.May God make you to be the shining star of our country Tanzania.
