The newly elected Copperbelt Athletics Area Board (CAAB) wants to revamp the sport in the province.
The Andson Katongo led executive was ushered into office last Saturday after elections held at Kitwe College of Education.
Other executive committee members are vice chairman Nathan Nyirongo, Treasurer Jane Tembo, Secretary Mulenga Chipoma and his vice Peggy Mutuna while committee members are Felix Mbuye, Zachariah Kumwenda, Judy Mutupa and Felix Kapembwa.
In an interview, Chipoma said his executive is determined to restore glory days in Copperbelt athletics.
“In the history of Zambian athletics, Copperbelt has always been producing athletes in the country. We would want to bring back those glory days such that the Copperbelt is again seen as the habour of athletics in Zambia,” Chipoma said.
Chipoma said as Secretary he has the vision to bring unity and harmony on the Copperbelt.
“My first task generally, will be to help in uniting the province in terms of working together amongst all the clubs so that we can promote athletics in Zambia,” he said.
“Our priority is to promote athletics. As an executive our vision is to put athletics first,” Chipoma said.
We are busy with Mopani and KCM issues and an economy put in ICU by the PF government and here you are talking sports. Anyway for the sake of goodwill, all the best to all the newly elected sports committee
PF are doing everything to resuscitate the mines that were sold to some infestors without any safety clauses, infact for the song
Come on Kambashutu, the MMD Government gave away our precious Copperbelt the once pride of Zambian Sportsmen and women.
Mufulira IN PARTICULAR used to produce multi talented Sportsmen and women including administrators. It was the Sports Capital of Zambia. Name any sporting discipline at National level Mufulira used contribute no less 80% plus Sportsmen and women.
Leave PF out of this mess but let us support any one or group trying to revamp sports.
