Delayed KCM/FAZ Awards on next week
KCM Vice President- Human Resource David Kaunda says KCM awards for deserving clubs, footballers and officials who excelled during the last season will be held on July 12, 2011 in Lusaka.
Kaunda said KCM was honoured to be associated and proud sponsor of the football awards.
The awards were earmarked to have been held early this year but because of the football wrangles that had rocked the game, KCM postponed them and they were even a doubt on whether they were going to be staged or not.
“Awards will soon be presented in all categories very soon. We are proud to have been sponsors and we are sure the deserving footballers and clubs will be encouraged with the tokens they will receive. KCM is working with the FAZ to ensure this is done as soon as possible,” the former Zanaco FC Chairman said in a statement.
The awards expected to be presented will see Red Arrows’ Dube Phiri walk away with K20 million for emerging as top scorer after scoring 14 goals last season while Zanaco midfielder Simon Silwimba is a contender for the Young of the Player after captaining Zambia Under-20 to the Cosafa Cup last December. Silwimba also emerged as one of Zanaco’s key players especially in the club’s run in the CAF Confederations Cup which saw the bankers reach the group stages.
The other contenders for the Young Player of Year award are Zesco United’s Kangwa ‘Tshabalala’ Chileshe and now his teammate Stanley Nshimbi though his exploits was when he was at Red Arrows.
Zanaco coach Wedson Nyirenda and Fighton Simukonda of Zesco United are not clear favourites. Bruce Mwape, who led Nchanga Rangers to second position in his first season in the top flight after the return of Rangers to Super Division will be considered though the firm favourite is Oswald Mutapa who guided the Under-20 to victory in Botswana and also Nkwazi to fifth.
