Clifford clarifies “Citizenship” rumpus

Share

Clifford Mulenga has denied changing his nationality from Zambian to South African.

And Mulenga has clarified that his tweet suggesting that he hopes to play for Bafana Bafana was a sense of humour lost in translation.

The SuperSport United winger said he applied for permanent residence contrary to reports suggesting that he had applied for South African citizenship.

“I just want to clarify my issue regarding me having changed my nationality to South African. I have never changed my nationality and I never applied for South African citizenship,” Mulenga wrote on his face book wall on Monday.

“I applied for permanent residence. My tweet that I would love if the South African coach called me to his team was said in a mockery to all the rubbish the media has been saying,” he wrote.

Mulenga added that he was willing to play for Chipolopolo.

“I am happy to be Zambian and if another chance for me to play for Zambia comes up I will seize the opportunity without failure.”

He was granted permanent residence last Friday.

    • Not laziness but more of incompetence. We tend to add that ka Zambian twist to things and that’s why it hard for us to move forward or be consistence.

  1. How do you joke about that mulenga? U are just an attention seaker. Improve your skills and they will call u to national team and not by threatening to change to SA.

    Otherwise u can change, but it looks like u are not that good.

  2. Like i said before zed footballers mafutu. Mulenga thought having an ID number or ID document is the same as having RSA citizenship. Now he know. No one got it wrong except Mulenga. Alabwafya ukudoga isukulu..

  3. Mulenga is the one not telling the truth. It was not a joke. He thought other players would be envious, atase. He only woke up from his slumber after comments from us. He thought that was a citizenship.

  4. 2 seasons 2 goals to his credit and expects a call up? C’mon cliff you can do better than that. Try to impress SS coaches first before you can think of National team. Ati It was a mockery to the media rubbish.. Efyo ba kushila ku squad.
