Details ba LT. We readers need details.
Chachine ba LT. Instead of editorialising in a news story. give us News. Tell us more about the achievement. Background is part of News, not editorialising– because we all have opinions and you should only editorialise in your columns. How long has the national record stood, Who held it? Where was it set? When is the final? Who else has qualified?
There will be two Southern Africans, a Zambian Botswanan and one Nigerian in the final
He has come in third for a bronze. We should still celebrate this boy! Like Samuel Matete this kind of talent is rare so we need to nurture him to a gold medal at the next Olympics.
Can football loving sports Ministry help this boy the way they help Kamanga when he misfires with his European coaches? I am very sure Muzala will be World 400 metres champion very soon
