ZAMBIA’s High Commissioner to Mozambique, Japhen Mwakalombe has urged Nkana to fly the country’s flag with honour today.
Nkana face Mbabane Swallows this afternoon in a 2014 CAF Champions League preliminary round, first round, away leg match in Swaziland.
Mwakalombe, whose mission also covers Swaziland and Mauritius, said this on Friday evening when he paid a courtesy call on Nkana at Happy Valley Hotel in Ezulwini where team is camped.
“They shouldn’t be overconfident and should treat their opponents as a good opponent and based on that, they can play a good game and win the game,” Mwakalombe said.
Mwakalombe also rallied the Zambian community in Swaziland to come and support Nkana.
“I have a meeting with the Zambian community to mobilise them and come in big numbers to come and give support to Nkana. As you know, we have a very big community here of Zambians living in Swaziland and it is important for them to give Nkana support,” he said.
And Mwakalombe expressed hope that today’s game will help forge good relations with Swaziland in respect of this afternoon’s result of the match to be played at the Somhlolo Stadium.
“The coming of Nkana to Swaziland is an opportunity for the two people to come and enjoy football,” the High Commissioner said.
