Orlando Pirates coach Roger De Sa says Zambian striker Collins Mbesuma is making headway in improving his fitness levels.
De Sa was impressed by Mbesuma’s mobility on Friday during a friendly match that saw Pirates clinching a 2-0 win over Platinum Stars.
Mbesuma scored one of the goals while winger Daine Klate got the other.
“I am happy that a number of players got a run around because this was the aim of the match,” De Sa told KickOff.com.
“One cannot read too much into the result because this was not a League match. Still I am happy that Mbesuma is improving his fitness.
“I have never doubted Mbesuma’s scoring abilities. We are working on improving his fitness and he is making progress. He is showing a lot of commitment and has been doing a lot of work after training,” says De Sa.
“Happy Jele also played and this shows he has made progress in recovering from his injury. However, he is not completely ready for
competitive action but there is an improvement.”
The former Bidvest Wits coach says he is now focusing on making sure Pirates achieve a positive result when the play Black Leopards in the first round of the Telkom Knockout Cup next weekend.
Mbesuma, nga abika mano ku ncito, akaba fye bwino. Afumye amano ku munkoyo.
Kale bapwa abo.Liluba lyalya bane.
Buying 20 liters of chibuku when your friends are in camp was the beginning of the end of his career.
he still has the powerfull left foot
There is nothing wrong with this boy except being big headed, bu star bwaya kumutwe balalaba inchito typical of Zambian chaps!
Problem if he make ka money imichopo and chibuku become thee order of the day….fitting until you hit 35…but he is a good player….no akaso I once enjoyed his beers lol
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES HE HAS MADE HIS MISTAKES BUT ONE OF GOD’S GREATEST CREATION IN US IS THAT WE CAN EASILY ADAPT AND CHANGE.
MBESUMA PLEASE STOP BEER AND CONCENTRATE ON TRAINING, YOU WILL BE AN EXCELLENT SHINNING EXAMPLE TO OTHERS AND WILL SHAME YOUR CRITICS.
Mbesuma is a talented player. Make no mistake. If works on being disciplined, he will go places. The last league game Pirates played, he scored two crucial goals….There is still substance in him

he is far much better than wayne rooney and the fluffers of strikers in the EPL.
LT, that story on Mbesuma has been lifted wholesale word for word from ‘Kick Off’, a South African publication. Why don’t you write your own stories or put a fresh and different perspective on other peoples work?
