What is happening this year with Kabwe Warriors?
Wonder why H R didn’t include Kabamba in the squard camped in South Africa, we understand he is a Congolese but he will never play for DRC.

#1 Kasama, I wonder where Mutonda Stars is. Do you any idea what is happening to that team? I rememebr the days of Martin Nsebele and Bernard (Bomba) Chanda, Rodgers Lupiya, Brututu and our goalie Malube.
1# Kasam Boy, I meant to say I wonder where Mutond0 Stars is. Do you have any idea what is happening to that team? I rememebr the days of Martin Nsebele and Bernard (Bomba) Chanda, Rodgers Lupiya, Brututu and our goalie Malube.
Kamunyama, Mutondo Stars are no more. The team was disbanded way back. Indeed it was a good team. It was called ‘EVER GREEN MUTOND STARS.’ Good players came from thier ranks. I remember DAIMON CHIBONI, WILLIE KALEPA, STANLEY CHOLA and many more.
#6 Boss man. Thanks for the data. I think it could not survive especially with the dismantling of ZCCM. Nomba kulafulukafye other sports in addition to annual sports festivals which were being sponsored by ZCCM.
Kennedy Mweene is the ABSA goalkeeper of the year!!
May we also have results from other divisions cos those are the teams that ultimately feed the ‘big’ teams with players, and so that we promote one zambia one nation. good work though.
