8 Roan United players and their families have been left homeless after an inferno swept through their semidetached quarters.

The fire reportedly occurred at 03:00 early on Tuesday morning destroying property worth millions of Kwacha but no live were lost.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that the fire was caused by an electrical fault.

Meanwhile all the affected players are currently in temporal accommodation at a Luanshya guest house while Roan United’s sponsors Luanshya Copper Mines prepare to repair the players’ homes.

  1. It’s good that there was no loss of life in the inferno.It’s also bad that these players and their families have lost their valuable material possession that they struggled to get after working so hard only to end up in an inferno.Iam Many people will agree with my observations on infernos in Zambia that have claimed alot of lives and property in the years gone and still to come.
    1) Most of the house electrical wiring that is done in our homes are of poor standards,and electricians who perform such of tasks some are not qualified or while other are just trainees.
    2) The electrical fittings used during wiring and extension reels or so called adapters used in most of our homes are of poor quality mainly that come from China,Tanzania, and the so called Dubai.

  2. 3) There is a tendency of having illegal and unprofessional connections done in the house where by power is connect to ka Barber shop,Ka Cabin etc.And those people in cabins are using utuma plate cookers which not properly wired and this resulted in short circuits and eventual electrical fires.4) Overloading of electrical socket outlets/extension reels/cords is also paramount within the houses of the so called locations,compounds,shanty township and not forgetting former mine township areas where the colonialist had only installed electricity for lighting purposes in the houses and nothing for electrical appliances like TVs,stoves etc.Its high time the so called ZESCO should be serious with their work and demand COCs in newly wired houses before connecting power to these premises.

  3. Why then do u pipo blame chinese when they are even sponsoring clubs, chinese are good and mean good to you poor zambians. These palyers , what soccer do they play when zambia has never qualified for world cup not even lifting the africa cup, eh the list of poor performance is endless.

  4. I get pleasure from, lead to I discovered exactly what I used to be taking a look for. You have ended my four day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye
