Club officials confirmed today that Zesco’s bounty for beating Zanaco 2-0 in the delayed 2010 final played this past April at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka has finally been paid.
Furthermore, Zesco coach Fighton Simukonda and defender Billy Mwanza were both bestowed with the Coach and Player of the tournament awards.
Simukonda took home K10 million while Mwanza picked up a K5 million cheque.

STRANGE NO COMMENTS ON SPORTS. SAD INDEED.
Thats good to hear on Robert Tana. He is the husband to my cousin. Congratulations.
150,000,000 and you say laughing to the bank seriously.
Come sensational Zanaco you can’t be losing to Red Arrows. You can do better than that.
Oh come on Brave Rangers, we are making the “wrong history” here; lozing to GBFC and Power at home, Nkwazi, Nakambala and now Forest all in row!Â
its long over due the firing of coach FREDIRICK KASHIMOTO,ITS time failures should face the boot,well done Mufulira Pollce
