The January transfer deadline was one of the most dramatic and exciting in recent years.
Several deals got done on one day with Red Arrows signing U-17 national team captain, the wonder kid, Joseph ‘Sabobo’ Banda with his Atletico Lusaka teammate Richard Ngoma joining 13-time Super League Champions, Nkana.
Earlier in the North Western-based side, Kansanshi Dynamos confirmed the appointment of Boyd Mulwanda as their new head coach.
Mulwanda replaced Tenant Chilumba who was sacked on 18th January together with his assistant Happy ‘Bauchi’ Sichikolo.
The decision by the Mabanga Boys’ management has so far proved to be a masterstroke with Mulwanda going seven games unbeaten so far.
The Former Buildcon boss has won five of the seven games he has been in charge with two ending in a draw.
The team has managed to score nine goals while conceding just yeo during his stay at the Solwezi Independence Stadium.
When he arrived in Solwezi, Kansanshi Dynamos were 14th on the log with 22 points from 21 games and just six points separated them and bottom placed, Lusaka Dynamos then.
As things stand, The Mabanga Boys are eighth on the log with 39 points from 28 games and just five points separate them and Nkana in 4th place.
With the Mabanga Boys eager to play Continental football and six games left to play it would not be unrealistic for them to dream but it will obviously be hard to achieve.
It will be interesting to see how far this fairytale will go on for Mulwanda.
Prison Leopards, Forest Rangers, Buildcon, Power Dynamos, Lusaka Dynamos, and Nkwazi are the teams left to play for Mulwanda and Kansanshi this season, With the way he has been grinding results one would not be wrong to expect him to get quite a good number from a possible 18.
