This is the happiest team at the Africa Cup, said Christopher Katongo after Zambia beat Sudan 3-0 to reach the semifinals.
Katongo said the team was excited to have ended Zambia’s 17 year old semifinal draught but that there was still a lot of work to do.
“We are the happiest players but the work has just started and the need to solider on we have to work to reach the final from the semifinals,” Katongo said.
Katongo added that the team was moved by the post-match victory parties that are hitting the streets back home but urged the fans to celebrate them safely.
Last week two fans died celebrating Zambia’s quarterfinal qualification.
Zambia secured their semifinal passage thanks to goals from Stopilla Sunzu, Katongo and James Chamanga in the 14th, 66th and 87th minutes respectively against 10-man Sudan.
Sudan were reduced to 10-men in the 66th minute after Eldin Ali brought down Rainford Kalaba in the box before Katongo stepped up to convert the penalty on the rebound after Salim Aram had parried the initial spot-kick.
Zambia await to know their semifinal opponent on Sunday when Tunisia and Ghana clash in Franceville, Gabon in the last quarterfinals of the Africa Cup.
What a load of rubbish
Mr Katongo where is your degree? Where is your Masters? When are you starting your PHD?
I am sure the answers to my questions is NONE
So, what happiness again? You kick a rug called a ball and you think you are a hero, Grow up no one cares about you here
Thanks
Mushota fimo fimo or watever u call yoself. this is not bout a degree or phd remember Bill gates did not hv  a phd but he is the richest. the owner of fb which am sure u use it does not hav a phd so stop yapping around n give credit where its due. wat have u ever achieved for a country like zed? the answer is NONE am sure also. grow up!!!!!
These footballers have more money than you’ll ever have. Take your degree and shove it up one of your orifices the choice is yours.
Very uncivilised
Mushota ala ulichikopo.. who told you that happiness is only found in what you have listed above… Education is mans idea, yet happiness is a natural law in man. inborn, in blood and in his auto-conscience.. @
Please do not be so shallow as to think that a PHD is what you need to enjoy life. Look at any all-time-sports greatest (Ali, Tyson, Jordan, Lewis, Gay, Messi, Ronaldo, Kalu, Woods, etc) and show me their PHDs.
Dont be so naive please!!
Mushota you are such a f*cken annoying troll your mother shud have aborted you for the sake of the human species. Get a life or be unproductive elswhere. Let people with some diginity discuss issues with a level of intellect. LT editor please get rid of this a s s hole. We are tired of her/him constantly marring the discussions.
Mushota or whatever you call yourself it gives me great pleasure to say Fu*k You.
Just go jerk yourself else where you F A G G O T!!!!
Mushota tell Nick to plug your a s s so you can shut up. This is what happens when whores from Ndeke Hotel go to Europe
Ghost mushota are all your faculties alright? There’s a place for people like you somewhere along Great East Road in Lusaka.
Mushota you’re weird. Just rejoice at that news and congratulate the team and their coach.Â
jeoldsjesusgaleardo on November 19, 2009 I own a 2007 Aspen and a 2008 300 Limited, I love Chrysler is just so sad to look at those gentleman talking about a strong Chrysler, when in reality it was about to collapse.I’ll love my CHRYSLER’S FOREVER, (Both are silver)
:x Go Zambia Goal! We are proud of u back home. We are behind u and preparing for the cup, we believe u can do it en u will do it.
Mushota does not even know what a degree is. I hear he just languishes in London.
Go Zambia!!!! Good win. who the heck is Mushota!!! Oh!!! Loser…
we have this mushota’s IP address we will be exposing her soon, we already traced her real names bloggers keep it Zambian, sad to see someone to think happiness only belongs to those with degrees.Â
pleease expose this disgusting human being.
mushota, having a PHD isnt everything. you are a fool who thinks is wiser than everyone arround. Grow up chikala.
Let’s go Zambia, let’s go! Only 2 more games to go, 2 more sides to conquer before we finally lift the crown in honour of our fallen soccer heroes!!
#1 Mushota if I was the editor, I would delete all your posts. We all know that you suffer from an incurable attention-seeking syndrome to antagonise as many people as possible but you can at least try to restrict your comments to the game instead of downrightly disrespecting the players. What do you have to say about the trainer, for instance?
Congrats, the chipolopolo.We are behind you.We wish you all the best in the tournament.God bless you, and Mother Zambia.We are honouring our fallen heroes.May god grant them eternal rest and may this year ring the very best for Mother Zambia. donchi Kubeba!
The quality of Mushota’s point clearly shows that he/she is not educated.Â
Mushota is a  he??? Hahahaha. What a loser! The problem is that he thinks he can annoy anyone by his silly blogs. Hahaha. What a joker. Anyway, by the time he realises he would have spent half his life blogging. Hahahaha. Guys ignore his posts. By commenting and replying to them you make him feel as if he’s annoyed. That in itself satisfies him. Hahaha. Mushota the he)))
Congrats to Zambia.
TrishLester on June 18, 2007 If the saga of the 50-year-old car ietrensts you, check out the title track from my new CD, Plymouth Belvedere, released just last month (country tune about an embarrassing old car). Can you relate? Please pass the word along, particularly to any radio stations in Oklahoma that should be playin’ the song. Google Trish Lester and you can hear the song and read lyrics on my music page. And, of course, the CD is for sale, too. Trish Lester, Singer/Songwriter, Santa Clarita, California
Kachikala ka Mushota nachikukalipa!! ukafwa ne chikonko! ifwe tukalasefyapofye!! woooo!!!
Keep these players, and Renard you might need to speak to Mbesuma because his size and stature will be an advantage against those Ivorians when we meet them in the finals :)
Ka Mushota uleicindika ai…learn to give credit where its deserved.Congrats chipolopolo as we look forward to the finals.
#1 Very uncivilised
Great Job Copper Bullets!!……from the soldier.
Congolachuletions Zambia.
How come the educated Mushota can’t even play netball!
Am begining to agree that Mushota has dog eyes witha satanic mind. Get it from me, we DONT need you Mushota here in Zambia, not even on earth. You are such an evil. Zambia, we keep the parties for the victory by our own boys. Keep the patriotism flame burning
Why do people even respond to bloggers like Mushota..one would think you guys would have learnt by now..let stop encourging this individual please…Congrats Chipolopolo boys and the technical staff
Congrats chipolopolo. It’s a great achievement. You deserve to be happy and proud of your hard work. Keep it up and all the best for the next game.
Its a dream come true. Our players are down to earth and they are working as a team. This is a dream come true, i never knew i would witness this while am still alive. I cant wait for our boys to lift the trophy. We have waited for a very long time. HR seem to have a very good chemistry with the players. Congrats to our Captain, HR and the whole team. We love you, you have made us so proud. Many thanks…..
It was great yesterday…zambia will now meet Ghana in the semis…do it again boys..it will be 2-0 against the black stars…don’t you think so bloggers…forget about this Mushota guy….he has nothing to offer and he is a failure in life…
Mushota, what degree or PHD do you have? Could it be PHD or degree in arrogance? Learn to have respect and morals…
Mushota is just a fo olish attention seeker …. dont mind bout him pipo ….. we are proud of our team!!! and forever we will … whether they lift the trophy or not :)))))
Congrats Chipolopolo you have done us proud.But dont forget that much greater challeges await,for now you deserve to be happy.
lets assist mushota to define the word education that is when he is going to understand the so called degree or PHD ,
@no1.simply what they say like father like son.if your all family thinks like u then it’s an ***** stupidity family u have. grow up boy dont did a dull boy
Donchi kubeba, congrachule CHIPOLOPOLO!!
Could everyone join me in ignoring #1’s comments from now on please? I think this person is encouraged to write more nonsense the more we discuss his/her ignorant and childish statements – wémbwa wé.
Degree mubuchende wemwana weshilu, ukafwa nabwima.
bullsheet mushota
Mushota is just over excited
Hahahahaaa! I like Mushota’s thinking, she’s actually right to advise Mr Katongo to have an education so that when his legs are old and tired. He’ll have something to fall back on. Infact he needs to further his education, what with all these premature promotions he’s getting! Well done Mushota! Have a nice time in Scotland!
It will take Mushota 10 years of working in that cold storage in Glasgow,to earn what Christopher Katongo earns in a month. Silly cow!
Mushota is a DOG
Congrats zambia well deserved … I was so happy dat zambia won went for prayers n whilst prayin a whole mob comes at the mosque shoutin racist abuse n banging cars … Is dis da way to celebrate … I thought to myself no point in supportin zambia after dis … At least let’s respect god if not each other .. I guess dis is da world of DON KUBEBA
Mukongo wanoko ka MUSHOTA
Mukongo wanoko ka MUSHOTA
Congratulations Zambia, Malawi is behind you, we are proud you neighbors. But is Mushota a bona fide Zambian?
Ba Mushota, if all the pipo in the world have Phd like you, who will be cleaning your beautiful office and picking up the rubbish so that you work in the clean environment boss? Bushe mwalisambilileko civics nangu mwafikilefye pali Phd? Respect other pipo’s professions thats what educated pipo do.
CHI MUSHOTA,VERY STUPID INDEED.WHAT PHD,yourself you are busy cleaning old pipos asses down there.
I am very disappointed with MUSHOTA but dont worry guys about such. Even us back home are very happy and cla in national colours. GO ZAMBIA GO. IT IS OUR SEASON AND GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU WIN THE NEXT GAME.
Pansaka tapabula #1
go go go zambia @ MUSHOTA FOR SURE AS YOUR NAME SAYS you have a short circuite
CHI-MUSHOTA ******WE, never should you come to ZED. we know you fool you are just a ka-useless bichele. You will be disappointed cos chipolopolo are bringing the cup. Go to hell HUULEE
Mushota jealous is bad can you tell us what you have done for Zambia than Katongo.Govt appreciates what some one contributes to history of the Nation.Katongo is great.
Mushota go pass the streets of Lusaka wth your PHDs no matter how many you have and see if anyone ll recognise them. After two minutes let Chris pass the streets and see whether he would reach the end of the street. Shops would close, everyone , including those wth degrees would want a glimpse of him.
Thanks for every other informative web site. The place else may I get that type of information written in such an ideal means? I’ve a challenge that I’m simply now running on, and I’ve been at the look out for such info.
