Zambia’s South Africa PSL based stars were in midweek action and we look at how they faired for their respective clubs.
On Tuesday, Christopher Katongo played the opening 75 minutes for his new club Bidvest Wits in a 1-1 home draw against Pretoria University but was not on target..
In Wednesday’s action, goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene was on the bench for a second successive match for defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns who lost 1-0 away to Ajax Cape Town.
Mweene was the only Zambian on Sundowns player list.
And forgotten man Clifford Mulenga came on in the 71st minute for Ajax who were already leading 1-0.
In Soweto on the same night, Amazulu lost 2-1 away to Moroka Swallows.
Amazulu striker Bornwell Mwape did not travel with the team to Johannesburg and has yet to play for the Durban club since moving there on a three year deal in June from Nchanga Rangers.
At the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein, defender Davies Nkausu was not in Bloemfontein Celtic’s 2-2 home draw with Orlando Pirates.
And in Nelspruit, striker Collins Mbesuma played the opening 78 minutes for his new club Mpumalanga Black Aces who lost 2-1 at home to Kaizer Chiefs.
Mbesuma was not on target.
Perishable products these players are – no scoring, benched, did not travel with the team, etc, when just last season some of them were ‘hot-hot’; finished so soon!
They are realy underperforming. Time for new blood in the nationalnteam. Otherwise we may crush with inactive and underperforming players
