KITWE District Commissioner Lawrence Mwanza has commended Power Dynamos Football Club (PDFC) and Nkana Football Club for working together to organize a befitting burial for Wedson Muwowo, Joseph Lungu, and Osward Katembula, who died in a traffic accident on Saturday, December 7, 2024, after the Kitwe Derby.
Speaking after the burial at Nkana Memorial Park yesterday, Mr. Mwanza said, “the two teams have shown leadership by working together. This is awesome, and I am impressed.”
During the church service at St. Francis Catholic Church in Wusakile, Zambian Premier League (ZPL) Chairperson Kephas Katongo remarked, “this tragedy serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of safety in all aspects of life.”
Mr. Katongo acknowledged the incredible solidarity shown by PDFC and Nkana, as well as the fans who traveled far and wide to support their teams, honouring their legacy of dedication and love for the game.
Meanwhile, PDFC President Eng. Benny Simukoko said, “we mourn the tragic loss of these three dedicated fans following our Week 15 fixture in Ndola.”
In a heartfelt tribute, Eng. Simukoko emphasised the vital role fans play in football and expressed the club’s deep sorrow and commitment to honouring the memory of the fallen supporters, whose passion and loyalty significantly contributed to the team’s success.
Speaking on behalf of Nkana Club President Eng. Joseph Silwamba, Club Vice President Joseph Khunga also reiterated the significance of fans as a stakeholder in football by providing support to their respective teams, as demonstrated by the huge number of fans who attended the Kitwe Derby at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, the largest attendance for a local game ever in Zambia.
“As clubs, we share the love of our fans, therefore, it was important for us to work together in helping the families by ensuring that the three receive a befitting send-off,” Eng. Silwamba said.
