(Good afternoon to all Zesco United fans, in Zambia, and in Colombia)
Today, we meet Mr. Bwenzani Mbewe's big Zesco United fans of the day, Amy Chilingu Kaunda, a passionate fan who says she enjoys playing against the 12-time Primera Division de Zambia champions, Nkana FC.
We are all aware that Zesco United fans (in Zambia, and in Colombia) are having some of the best times of their life as their team are on the verge of winning the Zambian Premier League and Barclays Cup double for the second consecutive season.
Today, we focus on one fan in particular, and that it Amy Chilungu Kaunda, a native of Zambia from Ndola, who would kill for her Zesco United.
This is a lady with an amazing passion for the beautiful game of football, who shows real support and loyalty to the team.
All credit to this beautiful lady and passionate for helping to improve the local game of football, hence making the fast-growing community of Colombian Zesco United fans possible.
Here is her answers to her interview questions with Mr. Bwenzani Mbewe on Thursday:
How did her passion for Zesco United start?
I started supporting Zesco United FC in 2011 and am here to stay no crane can move me. I had keen interest in football and the person who motivated me to start supporting a local club is Joshua Titima (Current Power Dynamos goalkeeper) who was my neighbor and was playing for Zamtel FC, he didn't choose a club for me but just told me how great it is to support Zambian clubs and to take my time when choosing.
What makes Amy different from other ladies?
What makes me different from other ladies is the kind of interest that makes me unique. I don't look at who I am going to watch the game with or who am going to find at the stadium, I just go and give support to my team because some ladies can't go watch their team's without a company of a friend as for me I just go.
What has inspired Zesco United this season?
The officials and the sponsors inspire the team by the many efforts they are putting in to make sure that the team is comfortable in all corners because it's not all about displaying skills but also earning a good living out of it. The fans also playing a major role to the team by the good they are giving to the team in good and bad times but above all its the almighty God who has made it possible for the team without him they are nothing.
Most enjoyable fixture?
Love and enjoy watching Zesco United play the 12 times Champions Nkana FC because my team always win home and away.
A team she doesn't enjoy playing against?
It's funny but true I don't love Zesco playing against any team especially the day before the match day because I don't know what God has for my team the next day but I always have a positive mind that my team will win. I don't under rate of over rate any team,each club is unique/special in their own way and they are capable of beating Zesco, it's just sad for them that my team Zesco United FC, Team ya Ziko, Zega Mamboa is too good for them to handle and it's our time. Zesco li button lyapali overall.
Favorite player?
For formalities sake my favorite player is triple C Clatous Chota Chama but all the players are my favorites.
Message for the fans?
Fans out there in a game their 3 things, win, lose, and draw, let's accept whatever our team finds themselves in, let's not fight and insult each other, we all are one,we are doing this for our country Zambia. Let's support each other were necessary, if they made it big in Brazil, Spain, England, South Africa etc we can also do it and we will do it. In the book of Zesco United we only have two Things it's either we win or we win, let's create a peaceful Zambian full of oneness and calm people. Ladies out there I urge u to join in supporting Zambian clubs, you are missing a lot,it's a great adventure that u get to learn and know a lot of things. Local is laka.
