  1. Blame PF & SATA for that loss the girls suffered.
    I heard Chishimba Kambwili went to “warn” the young games, ifi ma threats na bana bonse sure?.
    There is no Zambian happy & enjoying in the world. Even Nsuzu might be enjoying his form because he has Congolese roots (his father) and he just came from TP Mazembe. Congo is even producing more Copper sure.
    If I was HH, I would being in Costa Rica cheering the Under 17, than going to meet those Nyaus, Stella Libongani would have followed him there, and for sure the girls could have won the tournament to see those 2 hand-in-hand.
