  1. Let the girls and the Coach learn from history in encounters with Twiga Stars of Tanzania. Our Shepolopolo will be so complacent, they will be beaten by the Tanzanian clean at home. You will see. Zambian soccer for both men and women is so heart breaking. Please dont embarrass us again !!!! ????
