Nkana host Kafue Celtic but a sideshow is threatening to overshadow Saturday’s home game at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe.
A demonstration is planned at Nkana Stadium in solidarity with Nkana coach Beston Chambeshi after rumours that he had been handed a two-match ultimatum following a recent run of poor results.
The target is the clubs’ executive, where some senior officials have been singled out as architects of the botched attempt to give Chambeshi the ultimatum.
Chambeshi returned to Nkana for a third stint last April in the closing stages of the 2020/2021 season and saved them from relegation following a bad run under his predecessor Kelvin Kaindu.
But after a promising start this season, Nkana have started fading in the top four race and have won three, drawn three and lost two that has seen them drop to number seven.
And now Nkana heads into Saturday’s home game on 37 points and trail 14 points behind leaders Red Arrows with nine games left before the title is decided.

How can an African team call itself Kafue Celtics? Do these guys know how enslaving the name is? I am yet to hear of a European team calling themselves Glasgow Tongas or Manchester Luvales or Liverpool Ngonis
