Before the league kicks off Zesco United will be engaged in the curtain raiser for the league, The Samuel ‘Zoom ‘ Ndhlovu Charity shield against Nkana. Banda is anticipating a tough match when they two lock horns this coming Saturday.
“It will be a tough game because Nkana is big team. They beat us last season but this time we have to beat them, ” he said.
