Nkana Warm to Makwaza

Nkana fans have seemingly warmed up to Linos Makwaza and they showed it on Saturday when they mobbed him at Woodlands stadium following a 1-0 away win over City of Lusaka.

Makwaza was a shock appointment considering that he played for Nkana’s archrivals for over a decade and a half and was a key protagonist in some of their fiercest derby clashes over the years.

On Saturday against City, he led Nkana to its first away victory since returning to the top flight this season.

Makwaza got off to bad start with two successive defeats losing his first games two games against Konkola Blades at home and away to Forest Rangers but has now three successive wins under his belt and Nkana are 10 off the pace in sixth place on 28 points.

He said he will dedicate all his victories during his tenure to all the fallen Nkana icons as a way of honoring them.

“It feels great (being accepted at Nkana ) and most of the old timers have passed on so winning is a way for me to honor them with winning,” Makwaza said before he was mobbed outside the dressing room after the win.

Meanwhile, Nchanga Rangers drew 1-1 away to Nkwazi on Sunday to maintain top spot on 37 points, two more than second placed Zesco United who crashed National Assembly 2-0 on Saturday in Ndola.
