“Ba Nkana, nalelo bawina Chipolopolo! Ba Nkana, nalelo bawina Chipolopolo! Ba Nkana, iyee, Ba Nkana Chipolopolo! Ba Nkana, iyee, Ba Nkana Chipolopolo!”
I hope he has cut ichunsu nomba. Last saw him in 2000
Chiwaya ? Nokudala zo-ona ma ma ma.
Chiwaya played with some of the players from the Gabon air disaster. Somewhat ageless now but as long as he is playing good football and scoring goals. How old is he by the way?
I hope alileka ukulomba ubwalwa last time i saw chiwaya in kitwe 2003 at a pub he asked me for a beer those days i used to drink.
Naimwe bamilombakofye ka shake shake mwayamba ukumuponya ama kilo umunenu.
Good to note that ageless Chiwaya iz doing wonderz for Nkana. But should Nkana be relying on this “old timer” for survival?
Warriors fire the coach please…i am tired seeing warriors struggling and not winning the league title.. Warriors require a turn round strategy…..To all magnificent kabwe warriors supporters, let us find solutions 4 our team…
Ati Mwiponta , but meanwhile aponta. The beauty about beer is in sharing. Its a zambian thing which as you go out you must budget for. If you plan to drink 6, budget for 10. Of course begging should not be incouraged but thats just how it works pa Zed. Or else you will be lebelled ka kaso.
#7, Fire Kamunga not the coach!
Nkana we ve revived, its good to see that we are getting back to our winning ways. Go on Nkana Kalampa.
I watched him last year he was good, strong on the ball and still with pace. he has a ncie body like giggs to keep playing with youngsters. he was at centre back but he was still heading in goals on set pieces. he can actually play another two seasons hbefore he finally hangs his boots. perry is still playing for nkwazi and still quite influential. our players rush into retirement and start struggling immediately asking for beers like one comment above.
