History of Zambian soccer is incomplete without mentioning “magnificent” Kabwe Warriors. Godfrey Chitalu, Clement “Soweto” Banda, Gibby Zulu, Godfrey Munshya, Gautier Kituka, Aggripa Banda, Mathews Ndhlovu, Jack Chanda, Timothy Mwitwa, Samuel Chomba, Whiteson Changwe and many such others were such great players that stadiums could be filled to capacity each time Kabwe Warriors played a match. The team should surely get back where it belongs. “Mighty” Mufulira Wanderes have come back after being relegated to Division One football for years.
