KK XI captain Dickson Makwaza has died

1. wow, 74 that’s very young. RB is just 82 yrs old.
   These are funerals ministers should be attending.

   • Death sees no age limit
     MHSRP. He will always be rememmber for his contribution to Zed football.
     I enjoyed listening to 2 band radio, almost shaking through out the match.

   • What a great loss. Mighty’s favorite son departs. We will forever love you. This is a man who played football and not players. Go check his record. I think he had three yellow cards in his career because he never roughed up anyone. He would just mark you out of a game like Godfrey Ucar Chitalu knew.
     Elyo imwe ba reporter write proper obituaries not this crap you have posted with information scanty as a G string. This is one of Zambia’s greatest ever defenders or players. Do justice to him!

   • The legend is gone. Rest in peace, Dick. Zambian football will always be indebted to u and your generation.

2. Ba Dickson Makwaza made our days as children of the 70s. He was tenacious in defence. No wonder he was nicknamed “the barbed wire”. He lived, worked and stayed on the copperbelt even in retirement. He had a broader outlook to life, truly one of us, and very Zambian at heart. We thank God for his gift to us. Go well ba Dickson Makwaza. RIP

3. It is about time the Zambian government thought of honouring such gallant men with national mourning. They contributed a lot towards uniting the country.

   • @Zedoc Any Zambian would support you. This man deserves national mourning. Zambian politicians are just too narrow minded that’s why we never develop. This is one of Zambia’s football maestro. Because of players like him kids didn’t become criminals. They went to Shinde, Dag hammaskjoeld Independence stadiums to watch Makwaza, Zoom Ndlovu. Iam watching. If there’s no national mourning for Makwaza no voting in next election

   • I’d profoundly concur with you @ zedoc and kankoyo man. True to your word many would probably not have been where they are had it not been for Makwaza and his generation of sportsmen. Only a full paged feature by some seasoned historian would do Justice to his life

4. Ba LT not even a photo of the man…!
