  1. Our Copper Bullets (ifipolopolo) come in many shapes and sizes, some bulky and weighty like Mbesuma, others lean and nimble like our Chisamba over here. Tonight Renard is cleaning the barrel and loading the magazine in preparation for some poaching tomorrow.
    Yes, there are some Elephants to be slain and even our president has authorised our boys to bring them down. We don’t need multiple shots, just one single shot and the victory is ours!!!

    • Yes, I think the tusks of one elephant ‘Drogba’ would fetch a lot on the international market. Come on! Shoot him down..

  2. As of nowscouts from all over Europe have taken notice, even ferguson is keying on these Zambian players. BBC has put them on their football site like they are playing for england hahahaha. Let us repent and pray or lads play grandly; more like let me repent. Repentance my fellow Zambians is a great  ministry. I know I sin a lot for a christian lol. 

  3. @ NINE CHALE those are great words. Today I don’t have a poem but tonight I shall. Zambia as a nation has come 180 degrees. Just like the young man Jeremy Lin in the NBA, miracles will happen tomorrow if the nation team play for God’s glory and dedicate the game to spread the teachings of Christ, ” through swiftness of grace and humbleness.”
    The like a Paul or John the baptist chase every ball loose or in our possession. I stop here and await more tonight for tomorrow and the morrow after that are new days.
