  1. Insambu K500,000 only? So players to be given k10,000 iyeeee mwebo! 10 years ago uyu catile ati uyu nani uyu Ronaldo ehee, was getting 100,000 pounds per two weeks. Ngalelo nilunga?
    Anyway better than some of us really.

  2. I watched the match. The game lacked technical accuracy by Nkana. They won not because theyear out played, but because of a psychological defeat by young mboo. If nkana had to meet zesco or zanaco though bonse fisoso, it was going to a different results altogether. I hope nkana is not in the continental competition because the team is far from that level. Anyway in the absence of the best, they care our best.

    • Awe naimwe. What sort of standard did you expect? Both the teams in the final played and beat the best teams in the league-Power Dynamos, Green Buffalos,Zanaco and Zesco. So dont know which other team you expected to play Nkana in the final.

  3. What happened to you young Mboo? I think that they were intimidated by the presence of top brass and especially the President.
    Oh I mean The PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA not tuma pretenders and hallucinators trib.al president Hacks.
