Imwe ba LT I tipped you about a story and expected you to follow up and give us the full story. Utulo!
ex Mighty player Philemon Mulala has died after being bitten by his own dogs in Lichtenburg in South Africa’s
North West province. South Africa is currently hotly debating proposals for these unpredictable pitbulls to be banned as domestic dogs.
He played for mighty with his brother Philemon Kaunda in the 80s. I didn’t know he went to SA.
