Zambia To Face Bafana Bafana in January

Zambia will face South Africa in a friendly game away on January 7.

Faz vice president Boniface Mwamelo said the friendly game was tentatively set to be played in Port Elizabeth.

The friendly is one of three pre-Africa Cup warm-up games lined up for Zambia.

The others are against Angola and Botswana whose dates are yet to be confirmed.

“We want to play both those games with the full team because it will not make any sense to play them with players who will not be going for the Africa Cup,” Mwamelo said.

He also revealed that the December 11 date against Angola was not confirmed.

“Angola want us to play them in Luanda but it will be difficult if it means travelling there. And we are still trying to see if we can fly Botswana into South Africa to play them when we go into camp there.”

Zambia will set up training camp in South Africa after Christmas to prepare for their 2012 Africa Cup outing in January.

  1. Mr Sata said if elected, Mr Munyama will find it easy to access funds for development from Government.

  2. We should play in hostile environments to get the team ready…come on Chinese businesses, show your social corporate responisbility:d

  3. @2: Dojo Do – you’re right. We need an aggresive campaign to bring all major corporates to the party. The level of sports sponsorship from foreign investors is so pathetic in Zambia compared with the wealth they milk the country of. But also, these should have been the first options for Kalusha and Renard than ukya kolwesha abaiche nempipili shaba mwenye while bena balepanga amadilu (deals). This greed and selfishness is what is destroying our country. Mr Sata must have a meeting with FAZ to impress on the the significance of representing the country well. Sometimes what we see on the pitch says alot about the state of affairs in a team’s country!!
