While many Zambian fans consider South Africa to be the weaker younger brother, there’s very little to chose between the two teams when matched head to head.
Since 1992, Chipolopolo has played Bafana Bafana 18 times each team winning seven times while the rest of the four games have been draws.
Name the players in the photo, how Zambia lined up on the day, and the final score in the game.
Timothy “Teacher” Mwitwa who scored the only goal of the match and Derby Mankinka. Henry Malambo played. In central defence with Late Boniface Simutowe as Coach on the day! Sir Zoom Ndhlovu had been sidelined after a 2-0 defeat to Madagascar after playing Kalu in central midfield benching Derby Mankinka
‘It had to come…from the foot of Timothy Mwitwa’
Augustine Makalakalane, Timothy Mwitwa, Derby Makinka. I can’t recognise the other South African player.
1992 afcon qualifier: South Africa 0-1 Zambia. Timothy Mwitwa scored the only goal of the match.

Kalusha Was their
Meant WAS NOT THEIR……
Kalusha and Charles Musonda did not feature in that match. Do your research.
The other South African player is the late Sizwe Motaung.
Do you mean Efford Chabala or David otherwise no Goalkeeper here
Efford was also called David. Do you really know Zambian players you?
Was this the First Nelson Mandela Cup or was the game part of the independence celebrations
No…it was qualifier…South Africa, Africa cup I think…
Africa cup qualifier!
Line up: Efford Chabala, Peter Mwanza, Whiteson Changwe,Samuel Chomba,Eston Mulenga,Henry Malambo,Derby Mankinka,Johnson Bwalya,Timothy Mwitwa,Gibby Mbasela,Stone Nyirenda. Zambia won 1-0
The player standing is Derby Makinka and the one on the floor should be Mwitwa Timothy or John Soko.
offtopic. we dont seem to desimate data on zambian football history. for a while i hav been wondering who holds the record for the most goals in the zambian ligue and how many they were, or who has the most caps for zambia, or most goals for zambia etc. diferent sources have diferent stats. perhaps why our conflict with messis record werent taken seriously
I Was watching this Game Just Last Night. It Was a Short Corner by Johnstone Bwalya. The Found Gibby Mbasela in the box who beat 2 Bafana Defenders ( Steve Kompela and another one ) before hitting a low cross for Timothy Mweetwa to Score………
South Africa Line up. Mark Anderson, Sam Kambule, Roger Links, Steve Kompela, Sizwe Motaung, David Nyathi, Donald Khuse, Neil Tovey ( Captain) Doctor Khumalo, Augustine Makalekane, Phil Masinga
Stainley Tchabalala was their coach
This was in 1992 on 30th August. South Africa had just come back to the international fold after years in the wilderness. Their first AFCON qualifier ended in a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Zimbabwe and this was the second one which they also lost 1-0 to Zambia.
This game actually took place before the 2-0 loss to Madagascar mentioned by Uncle Bobs. Zoom initially resigned just before the CAN 1994 qualifiers started after facing heavy criticism after Zambia’s poor performance at CAN 1992, prompting the FAZ to appoint Simutowe as coach and Jochen Figge as Techincal Advisor.
Their first game was a rather unimpressive 2-1 over Mauritius (after which Figge immediately resigned to disassociate himself from ‘suspicious’ reports in camp) and the second match was the one above. Simutowe soon stepped down after the SA game (he must be the only coach with a 100% win record for Zambia!) and Zoom returned, leading Zambia to a 2-0 win over Tanzania in a WC qualifier in Lusaka though he would later get the sack after the 2-0 loss to Madagascar in December, described above by Uncle Bobs.
yes
The guy standing is Derby Makinka and the guy on the ground is definitely John Soko.
There are four people there. What about others?
Hmmm Billy, sinibaziba abo baku South
By the way, this looks like the AFCON qualifier played back in 1992/3 which Zambia won 1-0 at FNB stadium. The lone goal was scored by Timothy Mwitwa. This was back when we rarely used to win away from home so it was a pretty big deal and South Africa had just returned into world football after years of absence due to apartheid.
The first Nelson Mandela cup challenge was played between South Africa and Cameroon I think.
Thats true. You’re very right.
Kalusha and Charles did not feature in that game.Peter Mwanza did not feature but John soko was the right full back.
Peter Mwanza featured in this game

another one
Bro. Billy. I think the other Bafana player is the late Sizwe Mutaung, who was excellent overlapping full back. The game was played at FNB…it was a very poor game…no coordination. Gibby Mbasela in particular was a huge let down. Wisdom Chansa and the rest of Power Dynamos players were still serving their suspension….I thought they were the missing link
I thought about Sizwe as well. I think you’re right. It should be the late Sizwe Motaung.
Eh, that light skinned one does look like Sizwe Mutaung. Remember meeting him in Swaziland at the hotel while on holiday. He killed me in table tennis after pretending he had no clue how to play. MHRIP
He died of aids
some comments are so unkind.
Kkkkkk death is death bra, it doesn’t matter how you die.
People have data m impressed and m learnin a lot
Mwe bantu John Soko did not play as he and other power first team players were not fit enough after their club suspended them for giving away a game to a small team from Madagascar. They won 3-2 away but lost 1-3 at Arthur Davies after playing under protest because of issues of allowances. The national team coach tried to use Mwelwa Mupeta in the game against Mauritius bt opted for peter mwanza in the banana game
On the ground John Soko, standing Derby Mankinka. Sa 1992, Zambia=1 SA=0, and they pulled out later on.
