For second bereavement at Nkana in a space of three weeks, Faz officials failed to attend a burial this time of ex-Zambia defender Mark Sinyangwe at Chibolya Cemetery in Mufulira.

Sinyangwe died on Wednesday at Ronald Ross Hospital in Mufulira where he had been admitted for one month.

The master of ceremony at the grave site called Faz officials to lay wreaths and give a speech but none stepped forward.

It was a repeat of another incident at the burial of ex-Nkana defender Wiseman Chizumira in Lusaka at Leopards Hill Memorial Park where this time both Nkana and Faz officials were conspicuously absent but were the following weekend later in attendance led by Kalusha Bwalya at the Power Dynamos-Nkana derby game in Kitwe.

Meanwhile, Sinyangwe’s funeral was attended by members of Nkana’s 1999 Super Division winning side led by their coach Patrick Phiri including midfield dynamo Gift Kampamba, striker Frazer Kammwandi and defender Ken Katala.

Meanwhile, no minute of silence was observed at most matches on the day in honor of Sinyangwe as was also the case during the wake of Chizumira’s death.

Quite shocked at the passing of Wiseman Chizumira. I had not heard of his illness or death until this LT story. Wiseman started his career in his home town of Mufulira at Mighty Mufulira Wanderers. Born and bred in mine townships.He attended Mary Moffat, now Ipusukilo Primary School, later went to Mufulira Secondary School. Kalusha Bwalya should know him very well. At the time Kalusha played for Mighty before going to Belgium, Chizumira,under18 then regularly played in second team, occasionally featuring in senior team too. Solid defender and nice guy. RIP.
