The Zambia national team this morning left Lusaka for Johannesburg for the final phase of Africa Cup training camp in South Africa.
Nine players left this morning together with coach Herve Renard from Lusaka while another three left from Ndola.
The nine that left out of Lusaka are goalkeeper Jacob Banda from Zesco United including defender Emmanuel Mbola, Hichani Himoonde, Thomas Nyirenda and Dennis Banda.
South African-based defender Kampamba Chintu from Amazulu was also in the travelling party.
The rest are midfielder Isaac Chansa and James Chamanga also left on Boxing Day.
Christopher and Felix Katongo including striker Jacob Mulenga flew straight to Johannesburg from Ndola.
Renard’s side will be joined by the rest of the foreign-based players during the course of the weekend.
NOW TELL US WERE HIS THEIR FAZ PRESIDENT IS HE MEETING THEM IN SOUTH AFRICA WERE HE HAS HIS HOME AND WIFE. MPs can you find out for us how has been paid to this chap by FAZ from the time he took office and runing Zambian football from another country?
Am going to give the team all the support…welcome to south africa guys and I will go with you to angola to cheer you…lets go chipolopolo…
Go boiz and put smilez on the face of the many Zambianz. ZAVOSAFA (watever this meanz) prezident/spokesman; you mean az a player one cannot even have a light moment, even if it iz in a night club?
#1 London – Can you for once talk about constructive things! FAZ presidency is not a fulltime job, please read their constitution before you expose your ignorance to the world. On the other hand, coaching is a fulltime job and one Guus Hiddink once coached the Russian National team and Chelsea at the same time and succeeded. We wish Chipolopolo all the best at CAN Angola 2010. Long live Kalu, Zambia’s greatest footballer ever!
this time they will see and for your own information we are not underdogs …..if you don’t believe go and ask south korea..we are in for them Cameroon,Tunisia ,Gabon mwapya!!!….elo ba Gabon tili nachikonko naimwe ….GO ZAMBIA GO)))))))………….ati iyeeeeee chipolo-poloooooooooo))))))))))
London Faz President is not a full time job where one has to be in theo office Monday to Friday. Look at some Mps some of the chaps only go back to their constituency only when it’s election time yet you never complain. Leave All the best to the boys!
London Faz President is not a full time job where one has to be in the office Monday to Friday. Look at some Mps some of the chaps only go back to their constituency after 5 years only (when it’s election time) yet you never complain. Leave Kalu alone All the best to the boys!
Please talk about matters at hand.
Dont cheat yourself by thinking that we will beat Cameroon and Tunisia. Renard is not the right person for our players and Kalu whom i like very much is too raw for that job of FAZ president.
PLEASE PIPO THIS PROBLEM OF OUR TEAM LOSING GAMES COMES FROM OUR OWN LEAGUE.OUR PLAYERS ARE NOT SCORING GOALS IN THE LEAGUE THUS WE SHOULD NOT EXPECT THESE SAME PLAYERS TO SCORE GOALS FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM.RENARD CAN ONLY GO A CERTAIN DISTANCE HE CANT GO ON THE FIELD TO SCORE GOALS.ALL THE BEST TO THE CHIPOLOPOLO…
Africa twasebana, we will come back empty handed with an excuse.

He could have been a great player, but lets face facts he ‘s not a good administrator,
As for the chipolopolo boys all the best, we are behind you
I ve heard from radio 4 that Sinkala resingned from playing for the national team and Sakuwaha refused to come please people confirm
#9 Zambia does not get strikers from the zambia league only but also from south african and european league and they are scoring there. The last CAN/WORLD cup qualifier we only scored 2 goals in 6 games, but the 2008 CAN qualifiers we scored 3 goals in one game against S.A away from home under Patrick Phiri and topped the group. You judge a person by results. You get beaten by Zimbabwe in Cosafa cup final and get beaten by Zanzibar in CESAFA 1/4 final and you think its normal. We have better players than Zanzibar who have a very week league.
I want Zambia to win the cup but this wont happen with the current adinistration and coaching staff. However, i will give the the support.
GOOD LUCKY ZAMBIA!
Our Lusaka Times sports reporters do not know how to count, or always mix up numbers. The other day I complained when they gave us a provisional team of 26 players but only named 25. In the above article they say Renard left with nine players and only give us 8 names. Confusing, Please get more professional. be acurate. Ninshi kanshi?
Let’s go to the airport to receive the team after the return in either the first or second round. You opportunists like myself should face up; like England Zambia always has hype but gets knocked out.
How de we expect results when players main diet is kapenta and greens?these guys need a nutritionists,a team of sports medical savvy experts to mould them into strong players,psychologists to mentally prep them for any event,then you will see results,we play as if we meet every saturday for fun ,
