David Kameta Profile, Stats and Career Overview
David Frank Kameta was born on Dec 12, 2001 and is a Tanzanian national. He is a 173 cm, right-footed defender who specialises at right-back.
His career has included two Simba spells separated by time at Mtibwa Sugar. That return indicates familiarity with Simba’s training standards and competitive expectations, while his CAF appearances demonstrate that he has been used in continental fixtures across several seasons.
Kameta’s role is different from that of an automatic starter. He provides Simba with a domestic right-back who can enter the team when rotation, form, injuries or tactical needs require a change on the flank.
Career Overview
David Frank Kameta, commonly known as Duchu, developed in Tanzanian club football before establishing himself in Simba SC’s senior defensive group. His early career included Lipuli FC, from where he moved to Simba in August 2020.
Kameta’s first spell at Simba introduced him to continental competition. He made three appearances in the 2021/22 CAF Confederation Cup and completed 270 minutes. That record shows three full matches and provided an early opportunity to perform beyond Tanzania’s domestic competitions.
He later moved to Mtibwa Sugar in 2022, gaining another club environment and the possibility of regular domestic experience. Simba brought him back in July 2023, restoring him to a squad competing in both the Tanzanian Premier League and CAF tournaments.
After his return, Kameta made one CAF Champions League appearance in 2023/24 and played 23 minutes. His next verified continental record came in 2025/26, when he appeared twice and played 135 minutes without recording a goal or assist.
Kameta wears squad number 15 and operates primarily at right-back. Simba’s official coverage uses his Duchu nickname and lists him among the club’s options on the right side of defence alongside Shomari Kapombe. That competition for places has shaped a role that combines first-team readiness with rotation and matchday depth.
Across his verified CAF record, Kameta has played six matches and 428 minutes without scoring or assisting. The available data does not provide a complete season-by-season domestic record, so no overall career total is presented here.
