Real Nakonde start to believe
With two games to play before Division One games wraps up Real Nakonde is in serious celebration as the fans believe the long awaited journey to the League has finally come to an end. The border team with two games to play lead Kabwe Youth Soccer Academy by 10 points who have a game in hand but that is not possible to usurp the 10-point lead that Real Nakonde attained. The week 28 game against Mpulungu Harbour which turned to be a decider was also witnessed by Hon Zukanji Siwanzi Member of Parliament for Nakonde.
But the man behind the achievement could not hide is joy when he talked to Bwezani of Soka25east and Bwezani with Zambian Football. Mr. Simon Mwanza had the following to say:
“Am excited and this is as result of the hard work that the team has put in and we seriously deserve and we shall always remember this as we have made history as the first team in this province to play in the Super League, that is not a small achievement.”
Asked how the team remained focus the whole season Mr. Mwanza added
“It was hard work of the team, players and technical team and you would realize that we started preparation way back when we only had Division One North and South and last year by the close of the first round we were third behind Lumwana Radiants and Kalulushi Modern Stars.”
Why did you break down in the second round?
“Most of the players we dependent on left to join their clubs and we started building from there for this season and luckily the fruits have showed.
There is though a lot of work that Real Nakonde have to put in place to make sure the stadium is in the condition of hosting Super League games or else the team may be playing its games away from its passionate supporters and on that matter the Chairman Mr. Simon Mwanza had this to say:
“We are aware of what we have to do and we already on the ground and that we agree is massive works that have to be done. We have already put up underground water for pop ups and its working well. Our priority is the playing surface for now. There also woks going on the dressing rooms and grand stand. We are optimistic that this will be done before the 2017 season kicks off. It’s a long road but manageable.”
Asked about the allegations of Matches being fixed and match officials favoring Real Nakonde
“We have heard the stories and for now we are treating them as stories because we know the had work we have put into this team and moreover when one is doing fine there will always be such issues that people will talk about.”
Last words
Otherwise thanks Bwezani for giving us this opportunity and for wishing us lucky in the super league.

Stephen Mulwe: we are excited for achievement and seriously it looked very impossible but we are happy that we made it together. Bwezani I want to assure you that the team will stay in the super league as we are going to surprise everyone. My best player for the season for me was our midfielder Mateo……..and I hope the people of Nakonde will stick by the team and support it even when they belong to other clubs because this is the best of Nakonde for now and Super League is coming home.
