Kambwili hails victorious Chipolopolo

Share

Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili says Chipolopolo’s 3-0 win over Niger on Wednesday night was a great Golden Jubilee present to the Zambian people.

This was Zambia’s first win in the 2015 Africa Cup qualifiers and it pushed Honour Janza’s team into second position on the Group F table led by Cape Verde.

In his post-match adress to the players, Kambwili said he never lost confidence in the team after a spate of poor results.

“What you have done today is the greatest gift you have given the people of Zambia – a week before Golden Jubilee,” he said.

“Yesterday (Tuesday) when I came, I told you (players) that you can do it. This is the Zambia we know not the Zambia of the previous three games,” Kambwili said.

The Roan Member of Parliament said he expects Zambia to perform well in the final two Group F matches.

“In Lamba they say “elo yatatika” , so this is just the beginning and I want you to go with this morale all the way to Mozambique and when we come to play Cape Verde.”

  3. Kambwili is anti-youth and his comments are not wellcome, he owes Zambian youths an apology. Let him remain with his daffed intellectual imaciation and take his vile rant to his PF youths.

  4. And here lies the difference between successful football nations like Germany who started planning winning the world cup in Brazil way before they took their team to the RSA world cup 5 years..we look at issues on a match to match basis. You will never go anywhere with corrupt entities in FAZ and turncoat empty tins like BUFFOON Kambwili
    Wake up and stop sweepin the dirt under the carpet! !

    • Leave FAZ alone naiwe. Germany won world cup and no one celebrated. What a heavy hearted nation. All Germans are like Jay jay and Kambwili… No friends

  5. Anyone supporting clueless Janza and Kalu is a low thinker. That kind of play can not take us anywhere in this competitive world.

    • Actually, watching the match demoralised me. Zambia had poor ball retention and average ball control may be the bumpy pitch was to blame for the latter. If they meet an organised team like Algeria, South Africa or Cape Verde they will be punished. The poor retention coupled with the sparse defence because of the packed midfield system they employed, would make them very vulnerable to counter-attacks by the likes of South Africa.

  6. Kambwili in Bemba we say Waba itole, are you the minister of football, get away from those boys, let them do their job. You fat thing

  7. Keshi who is world-class is on the market Lets go get him now. He would be very, willing to come help his friend Kalu
