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]
