Mulenga Happy With His Citizenship Switch, Hopes to Play For Bafana
Footballer Clifford Mulenga says he is happy that he has now changed his citizenship.
In a tweet, a Zambian playing in South Africa for SuperSport United said finally he can play for Bafana Bafana.
Mulenga said he hopes South African Coach Gordon Igesund will call him up for the forthcoming World Cup qualifier against Botswana.
On Friday, Mulenga was granted his South African citizenship making it possible for SuperSport United to register him as a non-foreign player.
While the 26-year-old is yet to receive the physical ID from the Home Affairs Department, Mulenga was given an ID number and has since been registered by SuperSport United.
The Zambian has yet to play for SuperSport this season due to his wait for citizenship in South Africa, with the club looking to register him as a non-foreigner rather than use up a spot in their foreign quota.
Mulenga joined SuperSport in 2012 from Bloemfontein Celtic, however is yet to make his mark at the club, something he will be hoping to do under Johnson’s tutelage.

Someone asked Clifford if he can’t play for Bafana Bafana and he answered “No. Am a Zambia national.” This is on his official tweeter page.
So all you morons and muppets insulting the lad, get off his case and chill.

5yrs living and working in SA-one qualifies for Permanent Residencr AND gets an ID that clearly indentifies one as a non SA citizen. 10yrs living and working in SA-one qualifies as a citizen and must renounce one nationality if their country does not allow dual citizenship. Then you get an ID that identifies you as such….and you can vote and get SA passport.
That said, for both you qualify and not guaranteed to be granted by your tenure of stay. Zimbabwean ‘the Beast’ rugby player is a citizen who plays for the springboks. Has this guy got similar, exceptional skills that would push him ahead to citizenship? I just qualified for perm res so I know.

FIFA has not charged so ba cliford check all the FIFA closes before giving yourself false hopes that one day you will play for Bafana Bafana, moreover you are not a good player to deserve a call up to the SA team
