EMBATTLED former republican President Rupiah Bwezani Banda wants the new Lusaka stadium named after him, a source close to the embattled leader has disclosed to Tumfweko.com.
The source disclosed that Rupiah wants the ultra-modern stadium named after him because he is the one who initiated the project and lobbied assistance from the Chinese government for the construction of the mega structure.
The source claims Rupiah is of the view that since Levy Mwanawasa stadium in Ndola was named after the late President Mwanawasa, there is no way he can not be named after the Lusaka stadium which is under construction and almost complete.
The Lusaka Stadium will be handed over to government in June-July this year.
Tumfweko is suggesting that the new Lusaka Stadium be named after the late fallen heroes of 1993 Gabon Air Disaster, that the stadium be named as ‘April 28‘ in remembrance of the Chipolopolo team that perished in the Gabon Air Disaster on April 28, 1993.

‘THE HEROES STADIUM’ SUITS THE ATMOSPHERE AND AS A WAY OF HONOURING OUR FALLEN HEROES BUT ‘FALLEN” SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED COZ WE ARE NO LONGER FALLEN HAVING BROUGHT THE AFCON BACK TO ZAMBIA.

Naming convention
Major Roads or motorways should be named after former presidents and selfless and patriotic politicians(Great Mundia Skatan highway or FJT freeway)
Hospitals – after patriotic Zambians (Betty kaunda, Kebby Musokotwane, Paul Tembo)
Airports – Regions or great leaders (LPM international, KK international, Solwezi International, Monze international)
Streets – elders in the area (John Leng )
Football stadiums – Area they are in or iconic landmark(Livingstone stadium would be Mosi o Tunya stadium) Lusaka stadium should be Matero Stadium or after the caretaker grounds man. (Mayuka Stadium)
Just examples.
