Hachipuka, Zulu attending trials in Egypt

June 25th, 2009

Zambian Premier League side Choma Green Eagles duo of Kebby Hachipuka and Aubrey Zulu are believed to be in Egypt attending trials, Zambianfootball.net understands.

According to reliable sources the duo left the country on Tuesday and are expected to spend 14 days at unnamed club in Egypt. Both players missed Eagles’ 2-1 defeat to Zesco United yesterday.

Zulu was last season’s  league top scorer with 12 goals while Hachipuka made his full international debut for Zambia in the 1-0 win over Togo in September 2008. After impressing in that match, many pundits bookmarked to be the ‘new found’ general in the holding role but a below par performance in a friendly game against Morocco (Zambia lost 3-0) plus the emergence of William Njobvu forced national team coach Herve Renard to think relagate the elagant and economical midfielder to the bench.

At the CHAN 2009, Hachipuka was voted by his teammates to captain the Chipolopolo Boys in the absence of Elijah Tana.

    Why can’t we have opposing views without resorting to insults. Lol, what a waste of space. Anyways, we can learn one or two lessons from the Brazil vs SA game. Chief amongst those is the need for thorough preparation. SA looked well organised and briefed about how to approach the game. They just lacked ideas and quality in the final third (like us). We can go away to Algeria and do the business, cmon Zambia.

    Mbesuma might start training with swallows. “People have jumped to conclusions because we have three Nigerians coming to train with us. We also have a Cameroonian striker from Swaziland and there is the possibility that Collins Mbesuma could also join us for training, but that does not mean they will be signed or will not be signed.”

    CHAMZ is it true that when a player join an Arab team automaticaly converts to Islaam???.We had Pearson Mwanza at Arab Contractors (EGYPT),Maybin Mgaiwa & Godfrey Kangwa(MORROCO),Kenneth Malitoli & Gibby Mbasela Esperance (TUNISIA),Elijah Litana,Harrison Chongo,Tenant Chilumba & Allan Kamwanga(SAUDI ARABIA), Fred Mwila jr Zamelek (EGYPT) and apart from ‘Wawa’ Chongo & Fred jr the rest never converted to Islaam.At the moment we have Fwayo & Sunzu jr in Tunisia & they are not Moslems.I think its up to a player to decide wether to join Islaam or not otherwise Arab leagues are even more competitive than the PSL and I think it will be good for Aubrey & Kebby if they get signed.

    Hi Guys just Got this story of the Times of Zambia really hope we can complete Refurbishing Indepondo by as claimed in this article :

    By Sports Reporter

    THE Government has set the construction of a modern stadium in Ndola and the rehabilitation of facilities in Lusaka and Livingstone as top priority.

    Sports Permanent Secretary, Susan Sikaneta told the parliamentary committee on Government assurances in Lusaka yesterday that Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Company (AFECC) from China was already on site at the Ndola Stadium.

    Sikaneta said the Government would next week complete the signing of documentation with AFECC, the Chinese company tasked to rehabilitate Lusaka’s Independence Stadium, and Maramba Stadium in Livingstone so that work at the two arenas could start.

    She said the Independence and Maramba projects were expected to be completed by March next year while AFECC had promised to hand over the Ndola Stadium within 26 months of the signing of contracts.

    “We want to use the opportunity of the 2010 World Cup being held in the southern African region so that we can attract tourists and some teams that will qualify so that they can come and practice from here,” she said.

    The permanent secretary said the Government alone was unable to construct a modern stadium, hence the decision to partner with the Chinese government for the construction of the stadium in Ndola.

    She said initially, the Government had the option of the Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) arrangement but that it was not economically viable, as it would have taken long for the investors to recoup the money spent on the construction.

    Sikaneta said the government-to-government financing system was better as evidenced from the US$65 million long-term loan the Chinese government dangled for the construction of the Ndola Stadium which Zambia would only start servicing 10 years after the arena has been handed over.

    She also defended the decision to pick AFECC for all the three projects, saying the company was picked by the Chinese government for the Ndola Stadium while her ministry awarded them the Independence and Maramba projects based on their international reputation.

    “The ministry did seek authority from the Zambia Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA) to single-source the contractor to rehabilitate both the Independence Stadium in Lusaka and Maramba Stadium in Livingstone to international standards,” she said.

    On concerns by the committee that the Chinese company would come with its nationals to work as labourers, Sikaneta said only experts would come from Beijing while 300 Zambians would be employed at the Ndola Stadium.

    She said most of the auxiliary workers at the Ndola Stadium construction would be drawn from the Zambia National Service (ZNS) camps where her ministry has been training reformed street kids.

    The permanent secretary told the committee, led by Mwinilunga West Member of Parliament, Steven Katuka that Cabinet had turned down her ministry’s proposal to establish a Zambia Sports Trust Fund to finance football development.

    Sikaneta said the ministry had, however, made another proposal taking into consideration the reasons Cabinet turned down the earlier one which was deemed to have marginalised other sports disciplines.

    She said her ministry was considering transforming the initiative into a national trust fund that would mobilise funds for the development of all sports disciplines in the country, especially with the success of the national team fundraising committee.

    The permanent secretary also said her ministry would continue working with sports non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to ensure that talent was tapped in rural areas and fed into the respective national teams.

    Renard wants team to camp France, Italy
    By ROBINSON KUNDA

    COACH Herve Renard has proposed that the national team camps in Italy or France for the must win 2010 World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Algeria.

    Ministry of Sport, Youth and Child Development Permanent Secretary Susan Sikaneta said in Lusaka yesterday that Renard wanted the team to camp in Southern Italy or France because the weather pattern in the two countries was similar to Algeria.

    “The coach requested that the team camps in Italy or France where he comes from because he can help find training facilities rather than going to camp in Morocco where he will be a stranger,” Sikaneta said.

    Minister of Sport, Youth and Child Development Kenneth Chipungu said the team was free to camp wherever the coach was comfortable with.

    Chipungu however, said it will be better for the team to camp in one of the North African countries since they will be preparing to play Algeria on September 5.
    “I really don’t want to interfere with the running of football because that is what FIFA is saying.

    The coach is free to take the team where he wants but I think camping in North Africa could be better.

    “I wouldn’t want to overrule the coach he can take the team anywhere,” Chipungu said.

    Algeria have seven points, Zambia have four points while Egypt and Rwanda do meet on July 5 in Cairo have a point each.

    The top team in each of the five groups qualifies for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

    CORRECTION:

    The goal was protested that it was scored from an offside position – and assistant ref had raised the flag which the ref ignored. Chaos at the stadium after the match with police escorting the refand his assistants.

    Hard luck Nakambala. Don’t throw stones… hold your heads high and look forwardto the next matches.

    Meanwhile, Choma Eagles coach K. Mumba has comfirmed that they released Kebby and Aubrey were released to go for trials in a post match interview at Woodlands Stadium. He however did not state to which clubs (or country) they have gone to.
