NKANA Football Club striker Reynold ‘Sate Sate’ Kampamba is KR5,000 richer courtesy of the team’s sponsors Mopani Copper Mines (MCM) who have awarded him for winning the 2012 MTN Super Division top scorer and the young player-of-the-year awards.
Speaking during a cocktail at Kitwe’s Nkana Flats on Monday, MCM head
of public relations Cephas Sinyangwe said the mining company is happy
with the performance of the 19-year-old striker.
Kampamba, who recently attended trials at Swiss side BSC Young Boys, scored 15 goals to help his side finish 10th on the log with 35 points.
“As sponsors of Nkana Football Club we are happy with the achievement of Reynold who grew up as a young boy kicking the ball in the streets of Wusakile and today he is a hero,” Sinyangwe said.
He said MCM will continue supporting Nkana, the 11-time Super Division champions.
Sinyangwe urged the players to win the 2013 MTN Super Division title.
He thanked the players and coaching bench for the role they played in ensuring that the team remained in the elite league.
“Without the contribution of other players Reynold Kampamba was not going to emerge as the top scorer. We are happy with the contribution of the whole team and the coaching bench, make sure you continue working hard,” Sinyangwe said.
And Nkana chairman John Chiwele commended the players for surviving relegation.
Chiwele commended MCM for its continued support to the legendary club.
“We are very grateful that MCM has continued giving us the monthly grant for our operations. They are also rehabilitating our stadium. Last year, we had some challenges as a team as we lost a number of games but we still managed to avoid relegation,” he said.
Chiwele said that this year the club has been challenged to win the premier league title.
And an ardent Nkana fan Leonard Chilangwa who is based at Grand Valley State University in the United States of America has donated five footballs to the club.
Chilangwa, who is studying economics and finance, said he started supporting the club when he was four years old and was a ball boy at Nkana Stadium.
He also said there is need to come up with a soccer academy through which Nkana can groom its players.
