Mamelodi Sundowns striker Collins Mbesuma has been drafted into the Zambia team to bolster the strike force for Tuesday’s friendly international match away to South Africa that will be played at Super Stadium in Pretoria.
Zambia has been left threadbare in attack after Roger Kola and Given Singuluma opted out of the friendly match to conclude deals and attend trials respectively in Europe last week.
The match is expected to be Mbesuma’s first return to the team since September 10, 2008 when he featured in Zambia’s 1-0 win over Togo in a 2010 World cup qualifier played at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.
First choice goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene including his number two Kalilo Kakonje of Amazulu too have been called up.
Meanwhile, Tuesdays match will mark Renards 18th match in charge since taking over last May and he will be seeking his seventh international win with another five draws on record.
And South African coach Joel Santana will be hoping to mark a major milestone for a Bafana Bafana coach.
Should his side beat Zambia, victory for the hosts will mark the first time a South African coach has won five successive international matches.
The friendly will be South Africans first this year in a string over five build-up matches to their FIFA Confederations Cup hosting this June.
Is he really worth calling?
who cares
Let us wait and see. It seem the coach has fallen back on Mbesuma after his first choice left for trials. How disappointing
Its a sad day for Zed when we can only rely on an overweight, undiscipline and wanted striker for our team
:-w:-w:-w:-w
i hope he has learned ukusakula imishishi plizi.
Ok at last l-)
Supergal welcome. Muleposha!
This is good news bcause Mbesuma is one of the best strikers in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imwe bantu ati nimweko tea two pulls and you have new thread already:o
Mbesuma hope wapuzila chizungu by now
mbesuma for what is also ashame.
FAZ not involved in Mayuka saga
The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) says Kabwe warriors striker Emmanuel Mayuka’s transfer saga has been blown out of proportion.
FAZ President Kalusha Bwalya said at a news briefing that the Association is not involved in the transfer negotiations of players.
Meanwhile, Bwalya said the association will soon engage a technical director who will be responsible for recruiting players from the grassroot level.
Bwalya said the move is aimed at creating a pool of players who will be the future players of the National team.
While in south africa, please visit the brother VJ, brother Daka and brother Sankala .

Check the calibre of the teams he has wired
It is good that Mbesuma has been called up. Zambia is lacking the striking force, and young players are now big headed i dont want to mention chaps like Rogers Kola who has never impressed me in any way. Let him just remain out of the team, the coach should call Cliford Mulenga, but i dont know if he is still in SA.
Bafana bakula mitu, bafunika kubapundzisa, bakazibasiya che monga Sichone.
Let him play first, then you can judge him by his performance.
Roger Kola has only one good move: to kick the ball towards the goal mouth.The rest ma labishi
I think BaZambia makulafye, Na world cup tulabekonfye, i mean ukukwalifaya
Thank you pa bwato for your update.
3RqU how are you today…im fine darling…i wanted them to show mbesuma kabili.
OOH MY GOD, why are you guys still wasting time with this loser?
#10 jst becoz u speak kazungu u expect every to learn it. it’s not a must. If anything I wish we all zedians had a common lang. expect 4 english. leave Mbesuma alone.
It’s a game, he doesn’t need tuzungu in the field.
The thing is that our team which suffered defeat to ZANACO is a hopeless team.

Have we run out of footballers?

Whilst Mbesuma can be considered a reject, sometimes he can pull some surprises ! Give the fella a chance o
fellow country men,i have seen that our country is in a crisis footballwise.so iam sacrificing myself,from today i have stopped drinking my favourite bottle,konyagi. i`ll abstain.am throwing all the condoms i have kept.i wont even be going to solwezi lest am tempted.i`ll be working up 5am for roadwork.after two weeks i`ll be ready to wear the jersey and die a little for mother zambia.so renhard keep your mbesuma.
# 9. Pabwato :d:d:d imwe ama wrong choices yaya naku bbola iye! :d
So what if he(mbesuma) has been recalled. Muntufye naena. Those chaps yu are mentionong ati Kola ntwenu.. and the others, are not the only ppeople who can play.Running to europe to play for division2, if lucky division 1. Not even our local Rostov FC can sign those guys, They luck a lot, fitness being one of them. Not even Russian clubs invite our players, and yet faz puts in a lot of money in football, try some other sports pleaseeee……:((
AND THEN THE TEAM LEAVES FOR SA WITHOUT THE COACH :o:o:o:o
Mbesuma is a joke…he needs to earn his place in the team!!!
Mbesuma likula bane, he failed to play here. what will make him a better player there. Nothing personal but umu guys likula

My young brother mbesuma, you once was at a pinnacle of glory kindly reclaim it.the world`s greatest achievers are people who fell and refused to stay on the ground forever
Mbesuma is finished product! Why don’t they forget about him?
Good morning everyone
It seems most of you are very bitter with Mbesuma.The problem with us Zedians, we like blaming and saying negative things about our players that is why we will never ever progress as far as soccer is concerned. We will be underdogs as long as we continue with negative comments like the ones most of you have posted.
Think postive for one :-@
I meant think positive for once
Tabapwa aba bushe ? :((
Mbesuma coming is a good move but the question is,Will he give us what we need or he will just show of his skills with out giving us goals???? :((:((
Give mbesuuuuuuuuma some chat beer then help provide 4 da team 🙁
hey that guy is stil in existence,its been a while..kanshi he stil plays football,anyway who cares,his presence won’t change anything,it wud have been beta off not calling him….goodmorning guys!!!!!!!
**==
zedians,
please give this chap another chance to play for mother zambia.Those days he used to score everyone was for mbeeeeeesssuuma!!!!! tuletasha,i promise,expect a goal from the chap, go ZED go
imwe bantu i have been watching mbesuma, he is finished
Ah give me a break, that biting hippo can do better than him! He sucks!!! **==**==**==
I only hope his friends havenet carried chibuku for hime,he should syat in camp not his silly disappearances,any silly thing i will spank him myself,he shopuld be displined alah!:-t:-t:-t:-t:-t:-t
mbesuma his not yet finished. give him a chance. ukulanda kwalyanguka ukuteya kwali shupa.:d:d:d:d:d
The glory days are over for the young fat man, very soon he will be joining the likes of wawa and litana in chibuku and shakers tarvens.
Mbesuma is in – KCM cant pay the Zambian Coach so he hasn’t travelled to SA. Where are we going…. May be we should forget soccer pa zed
Don’t rule him out yet,,,give him a chance.He’s still young and has a lot to learn. Good luck Mbesuma!!!
The problem with mbesuma he is dull he fails to book a place even at a smallest club like sundown. Zambia soccer yali kanafye kano boxing and modeling
Akapondo stop using Solwezi for Mbesuma’s low play
Zambai in turmoil, from NyamaSoya leadership, to FAZ, to Chipolopolo, to economy, to Mine closures. yaba. bane ubwafya no bwamba pa Zed bwakula.
Welcome back……….hope there is much left of you to prove to your critics
Ba Moze …. please comment. None of the above makes sense to me.
#51 my friend channel your efforts in flushing out that gang of whores who have ganged up in that beautiful town.they always dent the image of a town where ever they congregate.remember kapiri mposhi in the old days,chibombo,rainbow,serenje sigasiga.even if ones wife has gone to visit his relatives in these areas she will be mistaken for a whore by a truck driver.it’s a pity.so meanwhile as iam working on my fitness to join the national team and score goals which mbesuma and the like are not scoring.i’ll stay away from mabanga.
Viva Mbesuma
i think nakula nomba mbesuma, lets just give him another chance to see how is going to perform.
Welcome to Tshwane(Pretoria) guys. We will be there to cheer you.
South Africa 1 zambia 2
Akapondo, maybe you might just entice me to watch the Zambian game. At the moment, I dont know any player even if I was to meet them in shoprite, I cant or wont recognise any of them.
So train hard.I also bought a small football for my two yr old son. He will join you in later yrs. The current players suck! Rememebr last time they feared Etó so much we lost 5 – 1 to Cameroon. Pantu tulaba.
Mayo twafwa, alipwa uyo baleita, apwa nga ebo iyiili mumenshi. he doesn’t even feature for sundowns.
Ba mpangula mputyu,i won’t disappoint you.so as iam responding to your thread i’ve just finished doing 22 and half laps at sunset stadium so now after one hour iam going to chrisma hotel gym for two hours intensive training.i’ve even severed relationships with some of my pals because the were enticing me back to the counter.i want to put the name of mother zambia right where it belongs.imagine some years back if you go into Harare then and they here you are from zambia every one started to chant mbasela,mbasela,mbasela and all the cutes were on you
If you go to TZ just say am young brother to chikwalakwala you are done.
Nowdays you mention ati nchimunya mwetwa kukudabwa.
90 minutes will judge you Mbesuma, Zambia is watching ka.
Yaa! Guys let us not expect more from Mbesuma alone. Football is team work. If his midfielders wont functiom well and the defenders ninshi we will lose. I watch mbesuma at sundowns regularly he plays well. So futbo is a game of Team work period!!
Echo twalushile Ba Zambia, 1 – 0, Modise scored. We have a fake coach, fake FAZ with the president running commenteries on Super Sport yesterday instead of watching ba zambia baluza bola iye but tulifipolopolo (nangu tuwine nangu tuluse – echo tushila)
#6 supergal this is africa you can do what you like even cutn yo head off as long as you perform.came to jozi and meet some managers of companys i wil accomodate you my number +27730232344,dram8@gmail
All of u loud mouthed chaps, leave our mbesuma alone. imagine with his uncontrollable shake shake intake he managed to break into the barclay premiership. wat more if he didn’t have those imbibing skills 4 that opaque brew. so just zip those mouths!
Nshilanda pa makula!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol
Na balla yonse ichyo tulushila
