Beston Chambeshi eulogizes Mwale

Ex-Nkana coach and midfielder Beston Chambeshi has paid tribute to the late Nkana coach Masauso Mwale.

Chambeshi, who visited the funeral house in Ndeke, Ndola on Monday,said Mwale’s death was a big blow for the club at such a crucial moment after lifting the 2013 league title.

“I think we have lost a friend and a brother, he was a coach and he had a vision of Zambian football and he did great to the team Nkana Red Devils,” Beston said.

“The team staying for a long time without winning the league almost 12 years, you know Nkana is not a small team and losing a coach like that is painful for the nation.”

Meanwhile, Mwale will be put to rest on May 27 at Kansenshi Cemetery in Ndola.

Mwale died on May 23 in a car accident on the Ndola- Kitwe Dual-Carriageway en route to Kitwe from his Ndola home to join his players in camp on the eve of Nkana’s 2014 CAF Confederation Cup Group B match against Sewe Sport of Cote d’Ivoire.

Nkana and Sewe finished 1-1 in that match 24 hours later at Nkana Stadium in Lusaka.
