Kennedy Mudenda has said he is humbled to have won the 2008 Faz footballer of the year award.
The Power Dynamos midfielder also dedicated the award to his mother violet.
Mudenda beat three other nominees for the 2008 honor namely William Njobvu of Zesco United, Kebby Hachipuka of Choma Eagles and club mate Francis Kasonde.
“I really feel good and hope to work harder this season and maybe try and win it again, if I don’t go abroad,” Mudenda said at Arthur Davies Stadium in Kitwe on Saturday after Power drew 0-0 with Choma Eagles.
“I also dedicate the award to my mother.”
Mudenda had a subdued game for Power on Saturday against Choma and was substituted midway through the second half and replaced by Lameck Mwale.
The midfielder was influential in Power’s form last season when they finished 5th and also reached the final of the Barclays Cup including for Zambia in the CHAN qualifiers in the first two rounds against Swaziland and Botswana.
The 21-year-old also had an inspired CHAN final tournament despite playing most of his matches at the tournament as a substitute and played a key role in Zambia’s bronze-medal playoff-match against Senegal that they won 2-1.
However, Mudenda is currently not part of Herve Renard’s team for the 2010 Group C qualifiers against Rwanda and Algeria.

Jelous down the boy is cool and tactiful and skilful. CONGRATS MUDENDA YOU HAVE DONE IT, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE NATIONAL SQUAD.
Viva Mudenda
Jhomu,it ain’t jealous, if he has been consistent, then he deserves a place in the national team( its like at school, if you fulfil the points needed, surely you deserve a place at the next level) and basically thats what he has achieved, so the question is how is the criteria for the selection set ? Otherwise,its a big up to him !
Whether good or great not every body is supposed to play in the national team. There is such a thing as response to greater numbers of supporters and confidence in any game situation. Congratulations though.
for you to play in national team you have to corrupt some1 like Kalu… so its difficult but anyway tho Mudenda has won i still feel renard was right Singuluma was a best in this season and Ignitius Lwipa but anyway we dont know the cariteria they use…congrats Mudenda
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE CORRUPTING KALU.WHEN YOU GOOD YOU ARE GOOD MUDALA.
