#17. It was sweet revenge by Kalampa. If my memory serves me right (and i usually does!!) Kalewa FC was the team that broke our (virginity!) unbeaten run in week 14. On that fateful day Kalampa was slapped with a ban on using ICHILATA (Nkana Stadium) for many months spilling into next season after the “Nkana Faithfulls” resorted to “boxing” after failing to stomach the defeat.
The “Sentence” has since been shortend by FAZ. Nkana will be back at Nkana Stadium when the season starts next year.
