We Zambians have the thing about funerals which we overdo at the expense of productivity
#1 Stop Village mentallity you Villager
No! Villager is right. You dont have to suspend all activities just because someone has died. You can play and observe a minute of silence. Despite the fact that it entertains, football is a business . It cannot be subjected to the emotions of politicians. If you told miners not to work because of national mourning the Mining companies would protest and probably run away from the country. Train, minibus drivers, accountants, lawyers, barmen,Doctors, will all be working during this national period of mourning. Why the discrimination against footballers?
You have a point in your comment, but my fellow soccer fan just understand that it will look unprofessional within and outside zambia to go ahead and have entertaining event like soccer along side national mourning…Thanks.
Ba soccer fan tamwakwata amano mwakwatafye amanongo
Ba Villager na soccer fan babufi naimwe what do you produce that you can not produce after the funeral. Ngamwafwa imwe people will not go for work they will be busy drinking others begging mealie to eat at your funeral.
