Ex-Zambia goalkeeper Kennedy Kalale has returned to promoted Nkana FC.
Kalale popularly known as “Ichoni Mwibala” rejoined Nkana after leaving the team six years ago when they were relegated from the top-flight.
The goalkeeper went on to play for arch-rivals Power Dynamos and lately Nchanga rangers before returning to Nkana this season.
Kalale rose to fame in 2000 after joining from Nkwiza as Emmanuel Mschili’s able number two before making the position his own a season later under then coach Patrick Phiri.
He had a brief stint with the national team under former Zambia coach Jan Brouwer after earlier being under-20 goalkeeper.
Kalale reunites at Nkana with another contemporary midfielder Clement Mulenga who are now the only two players in this team from their last ever league triumph in 2001 under Phiri.
Can someone tell me the whereabouts of Kilambe Mettews Papa Kamwashi, Emanuel Zulu etc
Papa kamwashi went back to congo which is his native country and ba Ema is in Zambia possibly drinking his head off.
Sometime last year I met Emmnauel’s father at Manda Hill. When I asked him what the young man was doing, he said jokingly in Bemba: “Umwana wandi nampesha. Anwa fye ubwalwa nokupela bana babene amafumo”.
Apparently, Emmanuel seems to have abandoned soccer and works with his father in some business in Ndola.
Welcome back sonny.You abandoned us when we needed you most naba ‘Sata’ (Clement Mulenga).
In bemba they say ‘UMWANA KA SEMBE’.
