Reacting after receiving the accolade, the Zambian soccer analyst said
“I really did not expect the award but to be picked among several people that document and write about Zambian football is awesome. I first would like to dedicate the award to my late sister Phellunah Chisompola who always told me that the talents I have were amazing and good things would come. She told me to never look down on small things, so this means a lot for me.
Secondly my son Rodewell Mbewe Jr a Mufulira Wanderers fan who always makes sure he asks several questions about football.
Last but not the least to the members of Bwezani and Zambian football WhatsApp group who have now become serious family members. We can do more.
Soka25east congratulate him on the achievement
