A concerned Zambian citizen has appealed to the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) to change the name of the Zambia National Soccer Team from Chipolopolo to its original name K K Eleven.

Mr. George Lifuti who is Southern Province Chairman of Retirees Welfare Bureau of Zambia said Chipolopolo name should be reversed to K K Eleven as a way of honoring the first republican President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda.

He said it was saddening to give the national team a name Chipolopolo meaning a bullet, a myth of what happened when the soldiers wanted to overthrow the government of the day then.

Mr. Lifuti expressed this in a press statement issued to ZANIS in Livingstone today. He said Chipolopolo was a song sung by United National Independence Party (UNIP) members to challenge the soldiers that they had won the bullet adding that the song was being played at provincial and district party conferences.

Mr. Lifuti explained that the idea was to warn would be plotters about what could happen to them if the soldiers attempted to once more over throw the government.

He challenged FAZ officials to seriously look into the matter and engage in dialogue saying by using the name Chipolopolo; Zambians are honoring the soldiers who wanted to overthrow the government then.

Mr. Lifuti said it would very gratifying to change the Chipolopolo name to KK Eleven especially that Zambia will soon be celebrating its Golden Jubilee in less than half a decade away.

  5. Good morning abena Nine Chale, Matworld Nice Guy, Ba Moze and everyone else.. wele!!!!

    Enjoy the day guys. Today I have managed to scoop first position.

    Will soccer standards improve when we change the name?

  6. We made one move in the forward direction and someone from the past retrogressive times wants us to go a step backwards. What is wrong with us Zambians.This behaviour is synonymous to why some people think that the Undereducate who clearly failed to do anything constructive for Zambians when he was under the Chiluba Administration can now do something good when he did not even resign the time things were going wrong in that MMD GRZ.Why do you want to go backwards when the whole world s going forward?KK eleven had to do with a person, but Chipolopolo has a copper touch linked to the jersey and also the copper mineral as our economic symbol with serious meaning. Now, someone is proposing..

  7. NOTHING WRONG WITH CHIPOLOPOLO,ITS UNFORTUNATE IF THE OLD MAN SEES IT WITH THAT NEGATIVE CONOTATION.GOGO TO CECAFA CHIPOLOPOLO BOYS”COPPER BULLETS”AND DEFEND YO WORTH OF THE NAME.

  8. Whats with this obsession for number 1? this is slowly becoming like a bunch of kids fighting for candy! lets make the blog more interesting with meaningful comments

  9. This is the most ridiculous suggestion. I know some people make a name and look for publicity by proposing such ridiculous things. What we need is not a name change but the root cause of our perenial failure to qualify to the WorldCup, win the Africa Cup of Nations and to find the money to pay our coach since KCM has pulled out of paying his wages.

    Aaah aslo finding the way to stern the Kwacha Slide and solution to high foodstuff prices. Not KK11 what of those on the bench!!! It is segregative..**&&@!! 😕

  10. Chipolopolo is a unique name and represents the wealth of the country .
    Great Kalu will soon be anouncing the registration of Chipolopolo as an official National soccer team name as the team enters into a lucruative deal with South African Breweries as official sponsors.

    Viva Chipolopolo abash KK Eleven

  13. Thats the problem with us Zambians. Too much hero worshiping. So if we change the name to KK 11, does that mean that the standards of soccer in the country will increase? Lets be serious and not just dream about things because we want to please certain sections of society. KK ELEVEN SO WHAT????????

  14. This is nonsense. Why name a national team under someone’s name? is it a club? let them form a football club and name it after that name.

  18. ‘Chipolopolo’ is not the official name for the national team.I wonder where this name came from.From Buchi in kitwe I guess? **==:-?

  21. UNIP tactics and with Nyama Soya it will change. They want to take us back to 80s.
    Very soon you ear the vigilant in the area.

  22. Awe mudala, you’re living in the past..KK fimo fimo wont do. I know UNIP is back in govt but lets not play around with soccer, atase!

  25. Roma side

    Please enlighten me; how does the word “chipolopolo” represent the wealth of the nation? 😕

    Uwakwisano

    Its not about UNIP. We all loved KKII until some short guy convinced us it was wrong. Lets not be personal. Chipolopolo????

  56. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe, Welcome mudala. Tuli Kabotu swebo mudala,twaneneya maningi. how was your short holiday in germany?

  58. Make your own team and name it KK 11 and bring back the memorries of queing up for sugar, bread, salad mealie meal, flower and sleeping at kmb and intercity waiting for two weeks to cath a bus we will start wheeping you on the ques again.:)>-:-?:d/

  60. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe

    Mudala Wanga nili mu pietermarizburg,but nimayenda Ku Durban ku beach maningi,Ine nili pa Ukzn mu pietermarizburg nicita Bachelors in commerce(accounting) Mudala wanga no friends kuno Iam really scared of these south African,one thing I can tell you My big man is south african are intimidated by our presence in all areas,you know chabe ma Zambians pali Brain.Anyway thank you so much for your Concern My big brother.

  62. My mbuya should have just hit the point and that is HONOURING
    Dr David K.Kaunda.But what he should realise is that we can’t be naming everything after one person in the name of honouring.There are a lot of ways we can do that. We have D.K Tech.High school,D.K stadium etc.Why not just suggest his monument.

  64. Real Baby C, welcome, How are you? I want to talk to you on a personal basis but first assure me that you are the real Baby C.

  65. Real baby C

    Iam alo not comfortable with your new name just go back to your old self.we know your comment are great so we will be able to detect yours and those of that fake one.

  68. gudmorng 2 u o and its friday friday, hey why do that man wants us to change the name of our team, baba your team of yester years were called KK 11 but now its our team so we shall call it chipolopolo thank you.ba zambia iyee ba zambia chipolopolo

  69. Zoe

    How are you my dear? tell your tuma niece that next time ngabakucita Disturb I will come and deal with them,they should also know that you desrve a good sleep.I will wait for them ku durban so that i can have a serious talk with them.Any Idea where Lusaka is?

  70. For once I thought it was all about changing the way football is run around here and not a name. What has a name got to do with the poor performance of your team. Name, name, name where? be serious guys.

  71. #62, exactly walasa mani…you keep on naming things after one man as if he was a lone freedom fighter! And these things vili naminyama ka..remember that puppet in Luapula was advocating to name the bridge after Mwanawasa even before the bridge was complete, what happened to LPM? All I know is that the puppet succeeded but LPM was not the one who cut the ribbon….

  72. When are we ever going to stop this altitude of naming things that belongs to Zambia as a whole after our leaders and who ever become a hero, it is iritating, are no any better names to use other than DK School, Vera Chiluba primary school, mama Mirriam Mokola school and now there Levy Patrick Mwanawasa bridge. Wonders shall never end….

  75. No am not a pera

    I started following african soccer way back when I was jst 10 years of age.My father used to subscribe to Africa Soccer Magazine, Soccer News ,Complete Soccer and Fifa World Soccer Magazine.
    Ponga Liwewe remains the best african soccer analyst,was second boss of African Soccer Magazine, Emannuel Maradas is the chief Editor and Ruth Maradas an assistant editor.Mark Gleeson is the worst african soccer analyst,always pouring praises on Bafana Bafana and coming up with negative stories about chipolopolo. Soccer is Life ,I agree that all days are dreamed about soccer (adidas)for some of us.

  79. Man Kunde

    Hi. How are you? Uliche?
    Khani ya KKII, whats your take? Me i think its the right thing to do. I mean, “chipolopolo”, efinshi?

  83. The problem with you Zedians is that you only honour when someone passes. Ndimwe ba fake maningi.

    If this idea came up after the big man had kicked the bucket, I am 100% sure that 99.9% of you would go for it.

    My simple advise to you all is, work on the standard of soccer and infrastructure before you even start to debate on names.

  84. Man Kunde

    I will be very careful my dear,Its just that I dont want her to be low she is one of the great blogger,I love coz of the way we welcomed each other,hope she remembers :-j:-j:-j.We had a ka small fight,but at the end of it all awe we reconciledAnd I must admit that she’s great.

    Nga imwe Man Kunde How are you?

  85. 78,79

    am best R jones,Ba Mose i think chipopolo is fine coz even ku stadiam tulemba iyee chipopolo i think it makes sense coz its not attached to a human being.So lifuti should stay put.

  90. Good morning to you all, Omuchende Maestro Hhehhehhehhe ino wakali kuli? Bob Sichinga & Chibamba Kanyama are on Radio Phoenix on “Let the People Talk Programme”, I thought I should let you all know!

  91. changing a child’s name from Mabvuto to Progress doesnt change the way that kid behaves!FIRE THAT REINHARD, WE DO NOT NEED A TRAINER BUT A PROFESSIONAL COACH AND NOT A RACIST TRAINER!

  96. The Blackman’s Child

    How are you dear,What is happening today?are you okay? you have not greeted us today why?Hope everything is cool with you.

    MAN kUNDE Dont worry she will greet you,am sure she has not seen you.

  100. Zoe

    Very good at least ako nizee not ukulepuka,Iwe Iam also Half bemba Half Mbeba Whoops! Half Nyanja but ukulepuka means alot (drinking senseless)

  101. ITS NOT NAMING THE TEAM KK11 BUT REVERTING TO THE ORIGINAL NAME KK11 AND CHIPOLOPOLO WAS THE SURNAME OF KK11 JUST REVERT WITHOUT HATE JUST LOVE IT

  102. Chipolopolo ilifye best, enough of KK this KK that, How are we going to sing, KK 11 iyee, it dont even sound rihgt, mwifulunganya abaiche lulya balepiking’a

  103. Uku kutumpa mwayamba ba UNIP.we shud be thinking of ways of improving soccer standards and how we can manage to host any meaningful international tournament next time around

  104. Na Mpundu

    Hold your fire. Dont you think you are the one who is being a little ….say, racsist? what has the coach done? We have just qualified for CHAN. Where is the problem? Your initial comment about the name change made sense. may i suggest we stick to the issue?

  105. Na Mpundu

    Firing the coach is not the best solution for Zambian Soccer.Rehnard ‘s performance has been exceptionally good considering the state of Zambian football at the moment.
    We need more investment in Youth Football and infrustracture development.We should not expect Chipolopolo to pull up surprises against teams with strong natinal legue in Ivory coast.

  107. These old niggars!am sure he’s still for his pension.The change in the name won’t change anything as far as zambian football is concerned.Right now there is too much Match fixing just for a few kwacha’s.I was going to too happy if he had better ideas on how our performace can be improved.CHIPOLOPOLO IYEEE! CHIPOLOPOLO IYEEE!

  108. Rashid , Matworld, Ba moze, Man kunde, zoe, and the rest, am outa of here.

    # 99 is not the real me!fake. This faker has again changed its name to Real Baby C.Am sorry guyz i give up my Name.

    #99 You are a chicken! i have had enough of this nonsense.

    Note: this is my last,last comment under this name.Later

  109. Real Baby C, i think you can still answer that question though its a public forum. ok, if you insist then suggest an alternative before i suggest mine.

  110. #
    56. your flag Rashid Jones, it was GREAT. That country is blessed: clean and the technology is good. I have never been to Japan, but I have seen how the Germans are good in science and engineering.

    Anyhow, I am hoping one day we as Zambians will be able to do stuff too on our own.

    I have been about now working on my school issues, but I intend to write a translator for Ubuntu Operating System into Tonga for a start. May some UNZA monko can later use it to write more versions in other Zambian laguages in future with my initial one as a baseline/benchmark.

  112. Zoe

    Iwe Zoe Bola Panshi Why do you want to leave me alone here? Luaska is nowhere to be seen elo naiwe ati waya come on dont go.

  113. #108 Baby C,hold yo fire my dear. A person cant mek u leave the site becoz of yo name.Wat tht person is doing by using yo name is wat we call”STRUGGLE FOR IDENTITY” U knw ths site is for friendly pipo,so i dnt think cumin on the site wth anothers name in order to seek attention is the best a person can do. To the one that is using yo friends name,thts utter nonsense.

  114. YOU FAKE REAL BABY C

    Whoever you are, i think you are spoiling the whole essence of blogging on this site. you should be ashamed of yourself and what you represent.

    Real Baby C

    Am sorry it has had to come to this. Someone you ditched perhaps? 😕

  135. Oh! My God Bonse Mwaya zo-ona,

  136. man kunde, I have liked that saying” ukupesha lushi kunya apengi” you have already made my day man? Ba Moze, mwanvera chibemba ichi?

  139. This is Baby C original. I have been reading your comments, If you go back to my comment, i said, i will be blogging under a different name. Am not leaving Lt, though they have deeply disappointed me.

    Thanx guys for your support, I can never leave the likes of , Man kunde, Rashid, ba moze, Nine Chale, Zoe , Sarah , matworld,sony and all those who appreciate me. You mean a lot to me this is for you :* ba Moze please come back. But Iam conviced, beyond reasonable doubt, that a girl is behind this.I wont mention any names.

  140. When a leopard starts devouring its young ones, it starts by accusing that young one of smelling like a goat. whats this crap of real and ghost baby C

  142. Pipo read between the line, the guy could be right, give a full his dues. I think this guy read my comments at one point becoz I also have problems with this chipolopolo name, maybe the only problem with him is his suggesting that we should go back to KK11. We can put our heads together and come up with a better name. True this Chipolopolo name, its origin is questionable. Its now that pipo are trying to justify it by puting a different meaning which at first was not the case. We can change.

  143. Entertaining a f..l can have dire consequences, and in this case he will steal the corpse at a funeral. May be we change to SATA 11

  144. Ba Moze

    Thanks Ze Biggy.I tell you you where going to spoil my day.I just need one favour from you big man.Mpapatileniko kuli Zoe Abwele naena.By the way Ba Moze where is your Sister Lusaka?

  146. #I4I

    Wachokela kuti?? If you want friends here, just behave yourself. Its you who should leave because i can personally guarantee you that Baby C is not going anywhere. She is here to stay. may i advise you to direct your comments to the topic at hand, otherwise if you mess with Baby C, you mess with me. Got it? :-?[-x[-x

  148. Zoe

    Please come back dear. Please, please. Matworld needs you. Infact, we all need you. Napapata Zoe. Please iwe Zoe ^:)^^:)^^:)^

  150. Ba Moze

    I knew it,Immediately I saw Lady Chiza’s comment,I just told myself not to say anything coz i knew that mwalamwikata pamu koshi.

    Ba Moze Imwe Ni zeeee :-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j

  152. Ba Moze or Ka Moze, listen carefully. Yu need a huge dose of reality because you and other bloggers have lost the plot. A puppet has no original thought and will regurgitate whatever is fed to him and you are one. I know that most pipo on this site have become the symbol of royal arrogance and tyranny and dont want the voice of reason to join them. that is why you are saying Wachokela Kuti!

  154. The use of the name KK11 was wrong in the first place. KK will always be respected and loved as our founding president. However, the man was glory hunting when he named the national team after himself. I recall that he was the patron of FAZ and during his reign there was no such title as FAZ president. The eqivalent title to FAZ president was FAZ chairman because no one other than KK was allowed to be called president. All the sports associations and other bodies were not allowed to have the title of president. The man was paranoid.

    In a nutshell, the idea of calling the national team KK11 is, at best, retrogressive.

  158. CHIPOLOPOLO IS AN UGLY NAME FOR A NATIONAL TEAM. WHY DO WE NEED A NAME FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM ANYWAY? THOSE GUYS ALREADY HAVE THEIR INDIVIDUAL NAMES. WE ARE DISPLAYING PARTY-CADRE MENTALITY. I HAVE NEVER LIKED THE IDEA OF GIVING THE TEAM A NAME. IT’S ALL VERY 18TH CENTURY…C’MON THIS IS 21ST CENTURY!!! :o:o:o

  163. #141,u r not think frm yo brain but as your name goes,u r thinking btwin yo legs.If u wana be part of the crew tht cares for the other bloggers rather join than being on the opposing side,we need Baby C.U r not our spokes person Spare us plleeaasssee

  164. I see no reason why we should change our football team’s name to KK eleven.Chipopolo has a meaning.KK 11 has no meaning and was wrong coz the team has 23 players and not 11.Do you see what i mean?

  166. Lady Chiza

    I want to be your friend also,nomba fye language. Yaba. a lady should not use such, mummy.
    So, you are committed, eh? To what, mukwayi? 😕

  167. Hello mwechalo,

    This is my coming..ala kuno ubushi bwachila ..from 15.00hrs to 9:00rs awe nafuluka pa zed bane.

    so ati bwanji??? changing the name to KK 11???? heey wemupamba. They want to change every thing back to UNIP. I am speechless people I cant comment on this nosense.

    byee we conect on some rael isues not this nosense.

    :-w:-w

  168. Kiswa

    But honestly, how can you name a team of human beings (some with children) as “chipolopolo” mwebantu sure. You mean there are no names? KK II is ok. After all mwana, Eleven people make the starting line up, not twenty three.

  169. Mudala Matworld-Nice guy wenzokamba ati uli pa UKZN.Then tilitonse manje ine nili pa westville.kapena tinga chaye link up some day.What do you think?

  170. Kambongolo

    Hello alamune ubucushi nikonse napano pa site epo buli,Abantu naba savuka where by namapepo nayakana ukubomba.:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j

  177. What does chipolopolo mean? How did it come about? Is the old man’s explanation true? Enlighten me pliz. KK11 can not blend well in todays times, we need something entertaining & easy, like #51. i hope to get answers guys.

  179. Ba Moze

    Namuona manje azanda,so iam waiting for her to calm down,then I’ll give her a peck coz at the moment aganirume thinking that ndine ci enemy :-j:-j:-j:-j:-j

  180. KK 11 is perfect, and that does not mean we are going backwards. Afterall, Super Ken is the only father we have. Chiluba tried hard to to pretend he is also our father, until he realised that he is our brother, in fact, our neighbour from DRC (ITURI FOREST). Viva KK 11, pleaseeeeeeeee!!! When we got independence, we changed cities e.g from Broken Hill to Kabwe, and in South Africa they are now reverting back to old African names yet South Africa is growing by the day … so getting old names does not imply backwardness iwe kamushi.

    South Africa.

  182. Chipolopolo voted by sports journalists the most popular nickname on the continent by sports at South Africa 96 nations cup .Second at Tunis 94 after Super Eagles of Nigeria

  184. Imwe you have stopped contributing, instead you have started talking about Baby C and the likes. Call me when you are through.

  186. A lot of thoughts occupy my mind; exhaust fumes filling my lungs, anger weighing down my heart, but my spirit refusing to give in. Thanx for all your comment. now I think lets get back to the debate.

  189. Lady Chiza’s legs

    You are one arrogant and silly girl. whoever is marrying you is sick. takwaba umwanakashi ulanda nga iwe. You ever talk to Ba moze like that again, ukachimona.

    Ba Moze- Hi dear:x:x@};-

  190. Ba Moze,limbi mwipusheko Roma side ine ni mpela coz from what he is saying, i think he can advise us.But any way i respect pipo’s opinions.

  191. How you burst a balloon inflated with pride: I have notied one thing. LT is like a cow, everyone wants to milk it but no one wants to feed it. Someday, the cow will either refuse to produce milk or simply collapse in the milking shed. It is good not many milkers like Mat world and Mose do not use machines.

  194. Maestro Hhehhehhe umuziba ededias musonda.Ha tima chiling’a na eve na bena remmy.Remmy eve ana submitter ka thesis kaka so aza yenda ku Zed muku pumulako briefly.

  195. Fellwo women, have you seen these mysginists!! I wonder what grievance against women provokes such thuggish behaviour and hatred

  196. Roma Side

    whilst i appreciate those “facts”, dont you still think its for us, as Zambians to decide a name that suits us? Pantu “chipolopolo’ awee mwee.

    Babie

    I told you even yeaterday……NAKANA plaese. :o:o

  197. Lady chiza’s legs

    Awe ulinshimbi.

    Anyone to answer my simple question.why is it that soccer players have have weired hair cuts?

  198. Matworld

    I know you belive in non violence mwana, but frankly speaking, This chi lady chiza pretending to be a lady can go to hell. :-w

  199. Ba Moze

    Give Babie a chance,who knows she might just want to befriend you.Come on Big man dont be so harsh towards her.

  201. ##Melt world

    icho chintu chiletinnya sana….first we have to wait for nyama soya to do something then we go back pa ZED.

    So dont stop praying boyi , i think nyama soya needs a billion of prayers.

    ## ka CHIZA’s LEGS ..yes we know that those legs are for chiza..so please leave us in peace as you found us. We dont want you here go back to CHIZA waumfwa.

    Lady Chiza

    For once, am forced to laugh. walipena wemwaume.

    Matworld
    the problem is that babie comes on too strong mudala. Teti watina?

  204. Ba Moze

    Naona naine ati Lady Chiza Acita over,but lets just ignore him.i asked the question about soccer players and thier fun hair cuts,the answer is what this Lady chiza is doing.He wants everyone to see him on the blog,but we dont have to do that mwana Lady chiza.

  205. A lesson in history. KK 11 refered to Kaiser Kalambo 11. Not as it is widely believed by many in and around Lusaka that it refers to Kenneth Kaunda. But when you blindly hero worship anything KK means Kenneth Kaunda. Even the American KKK will mean Keep Kenneth Kaunda to a Zambian. Kaunda of Malawi, Kaunda square, David Kaunda Secondary School, Helen Kaunda Secondary School, Kenneth Kaunda Foundation, Kaunda this Kaunda that, get a life.

  206. Ba Moze
    One thing that I can assure is that all soccer teams nick names are decided by soccer fans.Only South Africa(Bafana Bafana) made it formal to come up with the nickname coz they thought Zambia and Nigeria where being praised by their nick names.

    Matword
    Weird air cuts are a way of gaining recongnition and easy identification.

  208. Call them whatever you like, if they don’t bring victory home then it’s all useless. Let’s debate about the way forward for Zambian soccer, not about names.

  211. As for Ba Zambia Chipolopolo; It is a triuphat song sang in Northern Province before and after independence and did not originate from the coup. It may have been used then, but the song had been sang at sports events for years. 1 out 0f 10 baSir. Next dreamer please!.

  213. If we want to honor Kaunda lets change the money back to the one with his face on it. Every country I know has their first president of the king or Queen But not Zambia. Chipopolo is the best.

  214. Kambongolo

    You are right my Brother,but please think twice before you go back ku Zed,My advice to you is just Invest in our country and by doing that you will creat some jobs for our pipo pa zed otherwise you will die with depression pa ZED.Your first shock will be Lusaka Intl’ Airport.I cried Ine when I saw it after seeing OR Tambo,what more imwe uko mwaba.

  215. Roma Side

    You are a metal as in you are intelligent,you have got my question right.

    Ba Moze Roma Has answered my question,and that is what uyu lady Chiza is trying to do.

    Ba Chale how are you.

  216. Matworld

    I think you are right…lets captalise on the depreciation zed is expriencing. More investment. Cant nyama soya exempt us from paying tax as well?? kaili we are also investors..

  218. “>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”>:”> I am waiting

  219. 214. Matworld-Nice guy, but we are surviving us in Zed,maybe its the bemba saying that umwana ashenda atasha nyina ukunaya, for me Kasama town is the best I’ve seen, oh not to mention even Kabwe

  220. This thing has broken down the smilly thing came out as ‘Greater than’ sign from my grade one arithmetic lessons get it fixed or repaired LT :)>-

  221. Ninshi ulefwaya ukutweba ati ba KK eleven ni bawiso nangu shani? if you want to honor KK make a movie on hw he asked all the whites to go back to their countries and to let the indians stay!

  222. THere is no problem in changing it to KK Eleven .We should learn to respect our own country men. You named Dag Stadium, Evelyn Hone EtC ETC why not KK eleven?Inferiority Complex again????

  225. Someone would have been happy with a rarely seen win that the team delivered against Angola to consider renaming it. The name has no problem, all we need is performance.

  229. this blog is dead,so many juveniles sneaking in,Ba LT can we please have some limits, otherwise the whole purpose of this blog has now been defeated.
    My men Prof at Oxford university,Mr mwinga,pragamist,Gaga,Rass Rated, where are you at,remember them days when sense was the order of the blog,now we have more ladies and more feminish guys who contribute out of excitement and seek recognition.
    Its just a reflection of a society we are from,one does not need to go to zambia to know what type of a country it is,indeed this blog serves a reflection of our weird and shallow thinking personality,hence the reason we are led by people whose mind is the belly.

  230. Names matters and names could either have a positive response or nagative response on something . If Chipolopolo or KK – eleven are not good names why not change them . May God Bless mother Zambia.

    allafrica.com/stories/200812190569.html

  246. roma side

    those were indeed good days of complete soccer and afican soccer.i used to enjoy reading the magazines,i wonder what happened to complete soccer.

    chipolopolo still stands out to be the best name for our squad.kk11 was for the kaunda days and i dnt think it does make sense to have our national team named after some one who did not even contribute so much to the soccer stardands.i attribute these to him failing to host 1988 afcon games,demolishing of dag stadium.so chipolopolo still stands out as the best name.

  247. Chipopolo is not negative. Zambia export copper and our team is in short called “copper bullets”. The word “bullets2 should have encouraged our lads to be scoring machines. Hitting shots. This man is from Southern Province and some Tongas seem to have a problem with Bemba words. Let him just come up in the open and admit that he is a tribalist, nothing more. Or let FAZ invite proposals from the General public, instead of bringing dead bones back to life.

  248. Rubbish!! What is wrong with Chipoloplo boys? Dont politicise soccer ba UNIP. We do not want to move back to KK days we had enough. Another Jim will come and say change to “NYAMA SOYA, SUGAR DADIES or BOYS”

    Chipolopolo is nuetral…simply means “BULLET” in almost all official languages in Zambia.

  249. Because of being idle and a lack of creativity, someone of all things simply thinks of naming things that have already got names.
    W@hy cant this concerned Zambian think of all things in the country which have no names at the moment and make his contribution to our nation by naming all these things. There are some small new roads, new buildings, little places here and there which still have not yet been named. These can create great opportunity for this person to make their contribution.

  250. Chipopolo is not negative. Zambia export copper and our team is in short called “copper bullets”. The word “bullets2 should have encouraged our lads to be scoring machines. Hitting shots. This man is from Southern Province and some Tongas seem to have a problem with Bemba words. Let him just come up in the open and admit that he is a tribalist, nothing more. Or let FAZ invite proposals from the General public, instead of bringing dead bones back to life.

    The old man aint Tonga, he just happens to residing in Southern province. Check his name again. Stick to the issue at hand.

  256. KK XI is a very good idea. Kaunda developed sport and the f**L spoiled it kamachiluba. Change it to KK XI after all KK will NEVER ever be president again. Give him national honour as father and lifetime patron of the Zambia National team. Things will change, Mandela will give them money, Clinton will support them and more and more orphans will be encouraged to take up sport. Yes, it MUST be KK XI.

  257. Chipolopolo and yet we are the most peaceful nation on earth. What nonsesne. it MUST be KK XI and the white handkerchief – symbol of peace but with quality and integrity – no stealing ka.

  258. And the zambia National team 1993 just before the plane crash.
    1. Efford Chabala
    2. John Soko
    3. Whiteson Changwe
    4. Robert Watyakeni

    7. Timothy Mwitwa/ Numba Mwila/ Kenani Simambe/Johnson Bwalya
    8. Wisdom Chansa
    9. Kelvin Mutale
    10. Moses chikwakakwala
    11. Kalusha Bwalya
    Fact sheet picked up in Libreville after the plane crash. May their souls rest in peace.

  259. Its interesting to hear people go on and on about the name of the national team. now listen to this,the big football nations of this world have no other names but names of the country. chipolopolo was once a kabovas way of telling you how strong they were in those days especially the chamboli boys. My suggestion is that let the football of zambia be called THE ZAMBIA 11, full stop. Everybody will feel to be part of it. Bakaunda kwena fingi with his name. I dont live in zambia, but truly Zambian.

I dont live in zambia, but truly Zambian.

  262. I hate the name CHIPOLOPOLO Boys for our national team. KK Eleven is the best name given the fact that no other leader has paid serious attention to our infrastructure on the level that KK did. People insulting KK usually are those that have failed to do any good to make Zambia a better place. Most people in the ruling party, MMD are too scared to admit that KK was really a great leader because of the treasonous actions they have been undertaking in the name of privatization.

  264. #FINE boyi how are you….I missed you. I was finishing up some work. Ku bloga no kubomba boyi. How is you family …please pass my warm xmas and new year greetings to them.

    your are right fine mr LIFUTU or solle Lifuti is full of smoke in his head. In southern province there is Nakambala leapard, why cant he name it after grandpa KK?? Is really a disgrace to KK because KK cant fall so low.

    ##may be if you Zambians want name chenge name it KAMBONGOLO 11…you will be wining always under this name because play will be kambongolo . Amen.

  265. If we must rename the national team, just call it the “Copper Bullets”. Everyone will know what that means, and the British commentators will be able to pronounce it when we win the World Cup in 2010.

  266. #51. Well summarised. Though not official, the name Chipolopolo was bestowed on the National Soccer Team naturally. Nobody coined the name but each time we scored the entire Independence Stadium and Zambia as a whole would burst into the “Ba Zambia Iyeee – Chipolopolo” song. Even at the time they were called KK 11. This name became synonymous with the team each time we scored and were playing well. Later, even foreign journalists would inquire the meaning of the song. And over time pipo started interprating it as “Copper Bullets” and stuff like that. It is just a nickname of the team and a very encompassing one.Viva CHIPOLOPOLO!! :d/

  267. We are very behind in the quality of zambian soccer especially at this moment. what the country needs is to find the way to uplift the standard of soccer in the country more than changing of names of the national team!!! The change of names is not an issue at the moment.

  270. This is not a problem at all. If they want another name, all they have to do is to orgainize a quiz and choose the best name from different nominations.

  272. People please save yourselves the energy & angst towards this fella, his utterances are of no surprise, he is a retiree, thus approaching the age where senility becomes obvious, we just have to be understanding & take his utterances in that context.

  273. first of all,i have a 100 dollars with me that says the man who suggested this(whatever his name is)is over 70 years old.secondly,he was and still is staunch UNIP.please let’s not go back into time ‘atate’,kaunda left the presidency a long time ago.the name ‘chipolopolo’ is fine (except if you erase off the 1st seven letters of course which is a lot like how the national team has been playing the last couple of years!).infact if it came in houner of some soildiers trying to overthrow kaunda then it’s a good name because for all i’ve heard,if that old man had been knocked off the presidency earlier,maybe the things wouldn’t be as bad as they are now! :-w:-w:-w:-w:-w:-w:-w:-w:-w

  275. KK ELEVEN?LIBAANGE ILI NOMBA .KK ELEVEN FYAAKALE.NOBODY OWNS THE NATIONAL TEAM FOR IT TO BE CALLED BY PEOPLES NAMES.SITUFUNA MINYAAMAA.BU DICTATOR IYOOO.VIIVAAA CHIPOLOPOLO.

  278. KK What???????????????????????????????? Lets be serious for once, Copper Bullets maybe:d/:d/RB 11 If you want:o:o or HH 11[-([-(

  279. KK eleven or Copper Eagles is great for me…chipolopolo sounds fake…we dont even have the strikers to fire bullets at the enemies gates

  280. I foresee someone coming up with a sujestion that there should FTJ CHILUBA eleven or RB eleven.I think chipolopolo is great and unique.Very zambian.

    Firstly thanks. Next, I think president HH is strategising. I will ask my men and women in Zed to report here to the Intelligence Central Command Post.

    Keep watching I will give an update when I get the data.

    In fact the data you wrote about Remmy is very true for I spoke to him on phone about 3 days to 1 week ago or so.

    Take care and keep well.
