Veteran Kitwe United striker Chisala “Njonginjo” Mwandama has asked the controversial club supporters to be patient as the Buchi Boys embark on their quest to end their seven-year absence from the Super Division.
On Sunday,a group of seemingly angry Kitwe supporters attempted to storm their team’s dressing room to protest over the 1-1 draw the legendary club recorded against Ndola United in a Faz Division 1 North Week 2 game at Garden Park Staduim.
The supporters who heckled some unpalatables at both the Fred “Schemer” Siame technical bench and the players were only restrained by security personnel who locked the entrance to the dressing room.
Speaking to LT Sports, Mwandama said despite his side’s failure to pick up a win the first two fixtures it was too early for supporters to complain over the team’s performance.
“The supporters must be patient, results will come, we have just played two games,” said the striker, who has been at Garden Park since 2000.
Chisala said Kitwe were among favourites to win promotion to the Super Division this year.
“We are yet to win but we are playing well and we are among favorites to win promotion” he said.
Mwandama added:” We have a good coach who was with us even last season and he has maintained the team.”
