Wanderers legend Enock Kalepa mourned

Mufulira Wanderers legend Fredrick Kashimoto has paid tribute to his old team mate and ex- Zambia striker Enock Kalepa who was put to rest on Monday at Kansuswa Cemetery in Mufulira.

Kalepa died on Friday at Kamuchanga Hospital in Mufulira after an illness.

He was 61.

Kalepa played for Wanderers in the 1970s and 80s with the likes of Kashimoto, Asholes Melu, Kalusha Bwalya and Charles Musonda.

“It is sad we have lost him. Kalepa was good striker for Wanderers and the National Team,” Kashimoto mourned.

He was a member of the KK Eleven squad that featured at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, Russia.

Kalepa once served as Wanderers Secretary in the 1990s.
