Past Nkana stars Mordon Malitoli, Jericho Shinde, Dominic Sikazwe and Fidelis Chungu were present as scores of mourners paid their last respects to Kalampa legend Godfrey Muselepete who has been put to rest at Chingola Road Cemetery in Kitwe.
Muselepete, 53, died on Monday after collapsing in Serenje.
The funeral procession started with a Church Service at United Church of Zambia – Kwacha East Congregation before mourners moved to the cemetery.
“I am saddened by the death of our friend Godfrey Muselepete. He was a good person and very hard working. He loved winning,” Malitoli said.
Nkana officials were conspicuously missing during burial.
“This person played for Nkana for many years so officials should have sent a representative. I have not seen any Nkana official here,” Malitoli said.
“This is a just a sign that even myself if I die these official won’t come. Mourning is not about bringing money but just your presence is enough,” he said.
FAZ Committee Member Elijah “Shenko” Chileshe was present but declined to speak on behalf of Football House saying he was not delegated.
“I am here to mourn as a friend to Muselepete,” Chileshe said.
Muselepete played for Nkana as a winger after switching from Nkwazi and won the league title with Kalampa in 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992 and 1993.
He later played for Kalulushi Modern Stars before retiring.
He is survived by a wife, eight children and five grandchildren.
