Comment: Mighty, we are behind you ,but don’t lose form. So far, you are the team of the year.
Fi FAZ fyatutwala ku Luanshya. kutumpa sana uku!
Ba FAZ have their favourite teams like ZESCO and ZANACO. They don’t like teams like Mighty and Nkana. They would anything to destroy these great teams!
I meant to say: They would do anything to destroy these great teams!
So FAZ is busy celebrating Mighty’s loss…..these bunch of corrupt men who benefits from ZANACO and ZESCO. You should understand that as long as teams like Mighty and Nkana are off form so will your clueless national team…..FAZ F. .
ba wanderers, stop wandering in violent behaviour and you will stabilise. Dont blame FAZ, blame your cadrerish supporters. i am ZESCO and i say viva ZEGA despite loadshedding
Mighty supporters abengi Bena ngumbo na ba tubulu. Balitemwa sana ifyongo!
