  1. “Uwalya inondo ninshi eulile nomu chikwi,” Aba shakwata amano bena kumwabo ku mawa batila ‘Walya nganga walya nkuku’ nangu ichapalako ifyo.
    Walyaz, you kept us waiting for such a long time. The chinese would say, ‘A bad beginning makes a good ending.’ but a Zambian politician would have stated, ‘If Zambia’s Chopolopolo, CHAN, and all under teams have resurrected, why cant we resurrected also?’, and, ” Since Zaire won it, Cameroon won it, South Africa won it too, and even Nigeria won it, why can we won it oro so?”
    Kabwe Warriors you had us worried for five weeks now, are we allowed to smile starting from now?

  2. Yes indeed Warriors had us worried for four weeks now its a relief. But i still feel that Zanaco are just warming that seat for Zescolo team ya zico.

  3. No 5: Unfortunately that is not the case. Having been born in a civil servants home. I grew up in Kabwe and was scaling the Railways ground wall up to 1977. Then moved to Lusaka and started scaling the Nkoloma stadium wall up to 1979, Then we moved to Mongu started watching football from the Blue gums 1980. Then I moved to Livingstone, and started watching ITT Superstars 1981, and then to Muf, to start entering shinde stadium through the drainage pipe that comes out on the left side of Chawama hall near Section 6, up to 1985. In my working time I have been in Kitwe, and spread my time between Nkana and Power, or wherever Kabwe Warriors may be on the Copperbelt. We do have Malalo Police, Works Warriors, Milima, Tazara and others but my heart will always be in Kabwe, where it all began.
