Speaking to journalists after visiting him in the Intensive Care Unit the TP Mazembe President expressed immense gratitude to the medical staff and government for their dedicated care and professionalism.

“It’s a miracle from God for Kalaba to survive,” Katumbi remarked, attributing the player’s survival to divine intervention and the collective prayers of the Zambian people. He extended his thanks to the government, healthcare professionals, journalists, and citizens for their support during this challenging time.

Describing Kalaba as an exceptional talent, Katumbi praised his contributions to TP Mazembe and revealed that the player remains involved with the club, now as a coach mentoring young talents.

In a touching gesture of solidarity, TP Mazembe players honored Kalaba by raising his jersey before their recent match against Al Ahly, sending him wishes for a speedy recovery.
