The team will pay courtesy call on president sata!!!! Please don’t put pressure on our president we don’t want your courtesy give it to kabimba and gay scot
hehehehehehe! Which president??? Chellah!! they Must pay him that call on Facebook.
Did the Chinese 4get the use of sprinklers in the Heroes National Stadium???
Indeed, how can one water a football pitch like that. Shame….even a simple sprinkler can do please.
Why not making another stadium in Kitwe instead of Konkola which is far from the aiports…!!!
Janza may have the papers but he doesn’t have Wedson Nyirenda’s track record. Even Patrick Phiri or Fighton Simukonda would have been a better choice. It will all end in tears.
How will they judge the site for the stadium to be constructed in Livingstone?
