Low turn out of fans is reported to have characterised the public viewing of the Africa Cup trophy in the mining town of Chingola.
Unlike in Choma,Livingstone,Ndola and Kitwe where scores of fans turn out to catch a glimpse of the converted trophy only a handful of people took time to view the cup in Chingola.
The low turn out forced Konkola Copper Mines who spear-headed the program in the mining town to sponsor announcements on local radio stations in a bid to create awareness.
By 13:00 hours, KCM sponsored radio announcements were still running and publicising that the AFCON trophy was in Chingola.
On Monday, the AFCON Trophy will be in the Solwezi.
Balance your reporting ba LT naimwe. The reason is because it was raining in Chingola from yesterday and today. Learn to research.
we want jobs and not the cup
Not only that, today was Sunday, many people would have gone to Church to worship God, rather than watch gold.
watch out, ba KITWE ( jelabous ) are in solwezi so as to avoid saying that it was stolen in kitwe. Go ba kitweeeeeeeeeee and steal it. more money in your pockets as our preso promised us. thats another way DONCHI KUBEBA!!!!!!!!!!
Be objective in your comments. Dont politicise everything
People of Chingola you have humbled and impressed me mwe. Our God you went to worship; while the idol of gold remained on display idle.
Praise be to the Most High Jehovah for now and forever.
It could also be the euphoria has evaporated after such a long time coming.
Ba LT chingola doesnt even get publicity when good football is played in this town and you want us to watch gold instead of worshiping God. Power won in the charity shield and so did rangers win but it attracted/an rntire page for dynamos victory and a sentence for rangers victory. Crap.
Take it to Shinde!!
As if a glimpse of the gold cup will put more money in my pocket..
Two things contributed to the low turnout. One was bad publicity and the second was the rains. An advert was just put in the newspapers on Sunday( the day of the presentation) and on the 22 hrs news item on ZNBC.
