Chipolopolo midfield genius Rainford Kalaba is the new
captain of the team.
Kalaba has taken over from Stopilla Sunzu who has voluntarily
relinquished the arm band, saying he wants to concentrate on
his core responsibility as a defender for the team.
Speaking at a brief handover cerrmony in Coach Honour
Janza's room this morning, Stopilla said he was grateful that he
had been given such a big responsibility especially that his
reign was during the qualifiers for the 2015 Africa cup series.
And new Skipper Rainford Kalaba emphasised the need for
collective responsibility saying though he would be the one to
wear the arm band he recognises that the other senior players
are captains in their own right. Senior players present at this
ceremony were James Chamanga, Kennedy Mweene, Vice
captain Nathan Sinkala and Davies Nkausu.
And coach Honour Janza says he is happy with the humility of
Sunzu who has decided to put team interest above self, saying
that his action is a true mark of great leadership.
By assuming this role Kalaba has entered the hall of fame of
captains for Zambia which include, Kalusha Bwalya,
Christopher Katongo, Elijah Tana,Jones Chilengi,Dickson
Makwaza,Ashious Mwelu among others.
Kalaba has officially been presented to the team.
