Janza drops latecomers

Chipolopolo coach Honour Janza has dropped four national team players for reporting late to camp as the squad regrouped to prepare for the friendly against Sudan to be played on 30th August at Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.

The four players include the Power Dynamos trio of keeper Joshua Time, winger Kennedy Mudenda and midfielder Richard Kasonde plus Zesco United midfielder Justin Zulu.

Janza has replaced the four with Under-20 players namely goalkeeper Mangani Banda of Zanaco, midfielder Larry Bwalya of Nchanga Rangers, Napsa Stars’ Saith Sakala and defender Spencer Sautu from Green Eagles.

The number of Under-20 players joining the senior team has now come to seven after Janza earlier called Kayawe Kapota of Kafue Celtic, Patrick Ngoma of Red Arrows and Power defender Alex Mwamba.

“The technical bench has sent back players from Power Dynamos who chose to come to the camp house late despite having been in Lusaka over the weekend.

“Kennedy Mudenda, Joshua Titima and Richard Kasonde have been sent back on account of late coming and hence our drafting in the young men from under twenty.” Janza added.

And Janza has recalled winger Fwayo Tembo to the squad that regrouped in Lusaka.

Zambia will face Sudan in a friendly aimed at preparing for the crucial 6 September 2015 Africa Cup qualifier against Mozambique set for Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

    • Yaba team without No.6? Because both Richard & Justin were sent home. Hope Janza think twice…. this is how Clifford Mulenga lost it out.

  1. That’s the spirit Mr Janza,if we are to do well at any level ,we need to have Disciplined players.Next time they will come early if called up again and its a lesson to others players.Am behind you.

  2. Way to go Janza. We need players with a good behavior and we don`t want our upcoming players to be spoiled. It is better to lose than having players who do not follow ground rules.

  3. I saluting this coach already because of his approach when it comes to discipline. Some players are like what is called “tu TOBOO MUTWE” (their heads are hard like stone). You have taken the right step, coach and keep it up.

  4. mwe ba Shikulu stop saluting a coach who has never proven himself. Janza has been thrown into the deep end by a mindless FAZ. FAZ should know that a national coach earns the job via results not via CV. I doubt whether Janza even has a CV because he has nothing to put in it. Coaches dont become national manager through the back route. They usually become national coaches after succesfully coaching a club. National coach is a very big job. Janza will soon find out that he is an amateur when Zambia loses all her matches in AFCON this year
