  1. Ba LT sure, the last sentence is stale “Zambia will face the winners of the second semifinal tie between hosts South Africa and Angola in Friday’s final” because you have already told us SA walloped Angola 5-0 so the finalists are already known….poor reporting!

  2. The walloping of Angola by South Africa is a strong massage to Zambia, it will be a good final. All the best team Zambia.

  3. Do these Guys Read through before they post on this site. LT please Improve on this one not copy and paste\cut and paste syndrome. Your headlines always doesn’t match with the story.

  4. “Zambia will face the winners of the second semifinal tie between hosts South Africa and Angola in Friday’s final.”

  5. With Beston Chambeshi in charge of the team, you can always put money on him. They should give chance at senior level because even those 10 trophies the U20 has won, he has massively contributed to that.
