“I’m happy with the way kabwe warriors treated me I have no problem with them they kept me as their child, I can’t complain they are my family,” he said.
Chirwa hopes to pick up from where he left off before the injury and wants to have a successful season with kabwe warriors.

This player has to get rid off all so called friends. If he is wise he must be careful with how he gets friends. A true friend is the one that sticks with you in hard times. The KANDILES must be kept at arms length.
I agree with yoy
My sympathies are with AC.
Must have been heart-breaking for the player to be out for such a long time. Also reading about young Charly Musonda jnr’s similar injury was difficult.
.
Best wishes to AC – physically and mentally you are now stronger .
K warriors management deserve a lot of praise for their handling of such a terrible injury
Thanks Zamfoot for this story.
