Mweene Leads COSAFA Squad
Three PSL players have been named in Zambia’s 26-member 2015 Cosafa Cup team.
The trio is led by Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene who is expected to be the most senior player in the Zambia team at the tournament to be hosted by South Africa from May 17-30.
Others are Amazulu striker Bornwell Mwape who was recalled to the Zambia team for the first time in 18 months for the March 29 friendly against Rwanda that Chipolopolo won 2-0 in Lusaka.
Bloemfontein Celtic midfielder Mukuka Mulenga completes the foreign-based line-up for the tournament.
Meanwhile, coach Honour Janza has also kept faith in 18 home-based players he featured against Rwanda who include 2012 Cosafa Cup winning captain Bronson Chama of Red Arrows.
Zambia are the defending champions of the Cosafa Cup and enjoy a preliminary round bye from this year’s competition.
The four-time winners will enter the fray at the quarterfinal stage where they await victor from Group A comprising of Namibia, The Seychelles, Mauritius and fellow joint-record champions Zimbabwe.
Team:
Goalkeepers: Kennedy Mweene (Mamelodi Sundowns, South Africa), Danny Munyao (Red Arrows), Toaster Nsabata (Nchanga Rangers), Jacob Banda (Zesco United)
Defenders: Christopher Munthali, Billy Mutale (both Power Dynamos), Bronson Chama (Red Arrows), Kayawe Kapota, Donashano Malama (both Nkana), Adrian Chama (Green Buffaloes), Fackson Kapumbu (Zanaco), Boyd Mkandawire (Napsa Stars)
Midfielders: Allan Mukuka (Green Buffaloes), Justin Zulu, Kondwani Mtonga (both Zesco United), Julius Situmbeko, Larry Bwalya (both Power Dynamos), Shadreck Musonda (Nkana), Shadreck Malambo (Red Arrows), Mwila Nsofwa (Kabwe Warriors), Mukuka Mulenga (Bloemfontein Celtic, South Africa)

These are tournaments to identify young talents – Not Mweene, he is already established.
For example where is Spenser Sautu?

Zambia is still winning loser who has been forced and sidelined to cosafa. it seems we will never do any better than that. The AFCON was just a mere blip. A fluke that is

Last time we had the two idiots Bornwell and Festus! thankfully the mukukas and the kabasos and the ngogas were on fire! this year we have taken the even bigger idiots Mwanza and Kalengo! and sadly i cant see anyone who will be stand out performers to rescue the two bumbling bafoons in this team! unless we lucky and a star be born as per tradition for Zambia at COSAFA tournaments.
