Wanyeche first thanked God for giving him the strength, good health and ability to compete throughout the three-day championship.
The three-time champion said thorough preparation, particularly during training, played an important role in his successful title defence after arriving in Morogoro as the defending champion.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the different stakeholders who have continued to support me and my talent. Without their support, I would not be where I am today," he said.
He also reserved special appreciation for his family, saying their continued support has been an important part of his golfing journey.
Wanyeche's Morogoro victory follows his triumph at the Southern Highlands Open, where he finished on 12-over-par 225 after rounds of 79, 73 and 73.
