Mulenga challenges Kamwambi

AS Clifford Mulenga's detailing of events of his expulsion from the national soccer team continue to receive mixed reactions, the former Chipolopolo star has challenged former national team manager Lusekelo Kamwambi to provide evidence of the security officers that prevented players from sneaking women in and out of camp.

Kamwambi was on Sunday quoted to have refuted Mulenga's allegations that women were sneaked into the team camp during the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

But Mulenga insists that women were indeed sneaked into the camp and that there was no security mandated to stop players from doing so.

Mulenga alleges that on the night of their particular outing that led to his expulsion from the team, Kamwambi and a journalist actually joined them at the night spot where they were drinking from.

He said that it was Kamwambi that asked them to leave the club noting that then Chipolopolo coach Herve Renard would be furious if he found out about their outing.

Mulenga said that it was after Kamwambi asked them to leave that they left the club and three of his team mates picked women to go with to the hotel.

He said that had two of his team mates not overslept, Renard would not have found out of their expedition the previous night.

"I don't dispute that we had a lot of run-ins with Renard previously and he warned me of my behaviour but what I don't agree with him is that I was a bad influence on the team. And the story that I never apologised is not true because there was no meeting called where I was asked to apologise," he said.

And Mulenga insisted that he was used as a scapegoat when he was expelled from the camp. He said that had two of his team mates not been caught red handed after they woke up late and confessed to Renard, the coach would not have found out that they had gone out.

In a recent interview, Mulenga opened a Pandora's box after he laid bare details of his expulsion from the national team in 2012 which has since received mixed reactions from the soccer fraternity.
