TP Mazembe Sporting Director and Media manager Frederic Kitengie has refuted claims that Zambia national team midfielder Rainford Kalaba’s contract had been terminated on the basis on gross misconduct.
Kitengie took to twitter to cast away the rumours saying the former Chipolopolo captain had only been given a financial sanction.
“Fake news. Kalaba is in camp with his team mates. His unjustified absence in Luanda earned him a financial sanction and that’s all, ” Kitengie twitted.
TPM: Tres fausse nouvelle. Kalaba est actuellement interné avec ses coéquipiers a Futuka. Son absence non justifiée à Luanda lui a valu une sanction financière! Hélas ce n est récurent avec Kalaba pic.twitter.com/awYqIhfYfb

It seems Katumbi has step in to sortout the Kalaba issue, which apparently happened before the Agosto game in Luanda. The player will join rest of the squad for tomorrow's training session.
