The new Mighty Mufulira Wanderers executive committee has promised to lobby Mopani Copper Mines to take up full sponsorship of the club and facilitate the rehabilitation of Shinde Stadium.
Wanderers Chairperson Peter Daka said his executive will soon engage Mopani,who currently provide a monthly grant to the legendary club.
“We have been told that Mopani are going to give us a chance to speak to them over sponsorship,” he said.
Daka added that besides Mopani, his executive was scouting for sponsorship from local corporate entities and individuals.
“We have been talking to a lot of people in Mufulira over sponsorship and their response has been positive. We believe that we are going to get the assistance we need.We are trying to put back Mufulira Wanderers where it was, we have a vision for the club,” he said.
And Daka demanded commitment from players as Wanderers continue seeking promotion back to the elite league.
Wanderers have been languishing in Division 1 North since suffering their brief one season return to the top flight in 2005, just two seasons after they were demoted for the first time in the clubs history.
Kumwesu ku MF. We can do it. Let’s support our local team. We need to go back to first class football.
A little corporate social responsibility and environmental funding could go a long way considering what they reap and pour over Muf :)
Mighty should go back where they belong. It is a national scandal! The mines are now making supernormal profits which should be ploughed back in the community they operate. Team management ought to be creative also and come with up with ideas that can help the club stand on its own.
People at Might are some of the dullest I have come across. I hear Moses Katumbi wanted to buy a stake in the team they refused. Why?
Mighty Mufulira Wanderers , are they still venting sulphur dioxide from mopani when they face tough opponents or they are still wandering around??
Why can’t kalusha buy his former club? Isn’t the same kalu and his FA who pocket the money earned from televising the Premier league games? In civilized countries this money is shared amongst the clubs . This is what kamanga and simataa were on to but as per the national tradition, primitivity triumphed over reason. Kalusha should stop living on clubs money!
