Share

Konkola Mine Police have finally confirmed that Zambia defender Chongo Kabaso has joined DR Congo giants TP Mazembe.

Kabaso moved to Mazembe last Wednesday.

“Kabaso is in Congo. He joined Mazembe last week,” club vice-Secretary Abraham Lengwe said on Sunday.

The 21-year-old left-back has signed a three-year contract at the Lubumbashi outfit.

Kabaso featured in Zambia’s October 15 friendly against Brazil in China.

He was a member of the COSAFA Senior Challenge Cup winning Zambia squad in July and scored a goal in the final match against Zimbabwe in Ndola.

Kabaso becomes the seventh high profile Zambian player on Mazembe’s profile joining Jonas Sakuwaha, Hichani Himonde, Stopilla Sunzu, Nathan Sinkala, Rainford Kalaba and Given Singuluma.

  1. This is a sad development for Zambian football. This Katumbi is out to destroy Zambian football and our own people are helping him. Just when you though our players will be looking to go to France, they are busy flocking into Congo, what a joke of people these guys are.

    • Not quite sure if it a sad development for Zambian football but it is not bad for African football in general. For the players, I think what matters is getting exposed and gaining experience internationally, even if it’s just within the continent.
      Young as they are, they still have enough time and ambition to utilise the Congolese club as a springboard to more professional clubs in Europe.

    • Not sad at all, let Katumbi payback some money he makes in Zambia. Those players have bought Toyota colors for their families, I hear of of them even started building a 3 bed-roomed house, still on window level.

    • But we also need to develop our own football. Why europe only? TP pays them better than most south african or some division two clubs wud pay them. Ultimately football is abt money.

  2. So only 4 players is all we need on the bus from Lusaka to play an international with DRC or any of their neighbors. LOL!

  3. Hey, am I being made to believe that this respect news media does’t have a picture of Chongo or what? There’re a host of scenarios I can surmise pertaining to the missing picture here.

    • The author was Confused as to either use the map or use the boys pic. use the difference is just the letter H; Chongo or Congo

  4. I know you do not like DRC, probably because you have little knolewdge about this big country. Anyway, how do you expect the European clubs to see or know about this boy playing for Konkola Mine Police ( Security guards’ team)?

    • You Haleisa Halenya, why did you send him to Europe, as you think he desrves Europe
      Why didn’t he go to Europe?
      Surprisingly he chose Mazembe. Is Mazembe better than Europe? The fact is they don’t know him.

  5. Great move I like chipolopolo willbe great again. Its beter tohave players on the same club that way they have the skill understanding of game on the pitch. Communication will be excellent. Itis the same reason why Spain is excellent when it comes to football.

  6. its a question of issues of bread and butter- let him go ,he will have to build his career steadily.However,young man aim higher after TP

  7. You can send THEM in Europe or stay in Zambia, refrain them from going to TP Mazembe, if your are able you Jealous GUYS!

  8. @lubumbashi,,your manipulative brother noticed wawa chongo while we payed Brazil,that’s why he didn’t want the mailoni brothers to play againest brazil,for fear that European clubs may approach them & pay five times more,the boys blinded with the allowances think Mutumbi loves them yet he just hinders their progress to Europe.chongo keep yours eyes open,dont be like kalaba
    Who can’t see beyond TPM, at least stopela tried evilness again shows its face the boy was stuck,ya this Mutumbi !!!

    • Chinyama, are you zambian or not? Do you know that Kalaba came from Europe before he plays for Mazembe,he should have stayed, Nsuzu, he went to England,he should have stay, Singuluma also…..
      If there are in Mazembe after Europe, it means they did not find better there!!!

    • Marcel,
      In as much as we would like things to be different, unfortunately enough you are right, better a half piece than nothing, MaZambia is better than Zambian Clubs or SA, so you are some how getting it right. Congratulations give praise were it”s due!

  10. money talks indeed. we would all do the same. Zambians just talk too much even about things which are good. TPM is better than mine police for christs sake so please, let him be. if you people wish to, find clubs for yourselves in Europe and move there.

    • Marcel if we think kalaba is good then he should have continued in Europe or at least continued looking just there,the whole idea is not to group all our cream with one uncompromising Mutumbi & have a repeat of the brazil match shocker.Stopela should have been noticed had he played that brazil friendly thanks Mutumbi he did play.
