Game Highlights

By TROY MUKUPA In a dazzling display of muscular prowess, Nelson Chabota dominated the competition, successfully defending his title as the Zed Nationals Bodybuilding champion for the third consecutive year. This remarkable achievement solidifies Chabota's position as the 2024 Mr. Zambia Bodybuilding champion, fending off strong competition from William "The Machine" Sichone, the current title-holder of the Fitness Physiques Africa - UK Qualifier 2025, who claimed the second position from Matero Gymnasium. A proud representative of Kabwata Body Building and Fitness Gym, Chabota first made headlines in 2022 by dethroning 11-time champion Sylvester Mwila. His ascension to the top of the bodybuilding hierarchy has been nothing short of phenomenal, boasting an impressive record that incl...

Manchester United fans, breathe easy! If not for Amad Diallo’s stunning performance, we’d be talking about a potential relegation battle. In a match that seemed destined for disaster, Amad pulled off a miraculous hat-trick, turning the tide and giving United a 3-1 victory over Southampton. A Night to Forget—Almost It all started with an own goal by Manuel Ugarte, putting United behind against Premier League’s bottom club, Southampton. The Saints, who had been struggling with just six points, looked like Real Madrid, dominating the game while United’s defense crumbled, especially on set pieces. Despite an embarrassing miss by Antony, who came on as a substitute, Amad’s relentless spirit shone through. Trailing until the 82nd minute, he took matters into his own hands, leveling the ...

By TROY MUKUPA The world of bodybuilding and fitness is one of discipline, dedication, and perseverance. It's an industry where athletes push their bodies to the limit, striving for physical perfection. In Zambia, one name has risen to the top of this competitive sphere: David Chungu Chiteta Mwape, the reigning Mr. Kabwata Bodybuilding and Fitness 2024 champion. In an exclusive interview, we sat down with David, affectionately known as "Beast" in the fitness community, who is still basking in the glory of his recent birthday celebrations. Born on December 12, 1993, in Chelston, Lusaka, David's fascination with bodybuilding began in 2007, when he stumbled upon a picture of the legendary Ronnie Coleman. This encounter sparked a passion that would drive him to become one of Zambia's mos...

The frustration is growing at Arsenal. Trailing Newcastle 2-0 in their EFL Cup semi-final after the first leg and now knocked out of the FA Cup by 10-man Manchester United, it has been a forgettable week for the Gunners. On Wednesday, Mikel Arteta's men host north London rivals Tottenham in the Premier League, seven points off leaders Liverpool. Arteta has now been in charge of Arsenal, a club he made more than 100 appearances for as a player, for five years and is the Premier League's third longest-serving manager. He has helped them recover from mediocrity to consistent challengers at the top of the game but - with just the 2020 FA Cup to his name - is patience beginning to fade among some fans? It has to be pointed out they are third in the league, sti...

Chelsea have recalled defender Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old will boost Chelsea's squad after hamstring injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile limited manager Enzo Maresca's defensive options. The decision to recall Chalobah was made on Tuesday on the eve of Palace's match at Leicester in the Premier League, before a deadline to use the clause later this month. The move may be considered controversial given Palace had to withdraw Chalobah at short notice from their 1-0 FA Cup win over Stockport County on Sunday. Palace manager Oliver Glasner initially described the situation as a "contractual issue" before further explaining on Tuesday: "He wants to stay here but it's a decision Chelsea can take." Chalobah was a regular start...

The Red Devils' boss has proven his side can mix it with the best teams, but the next challenge is to start winning consistently at home In just two weeks and two games, Ruben Amorim has turned Manchester United from a laughing stock into a force to be reckoned with. The year 2024 ended with the Red Devils losing four games in a row for the first time since 1961, but the New Year has seen them head to the two best teams in the country and hold their own, taking a 2-2 draw from Liverpool - almost snatching victory but for Harry Maguire's inability to score from close range - before knocking Arsenal out of the FA Cup despite playing with 10 men for an hour. The fragility on display in their previous defeats by Newcastle, Bournemouth, Tottenham and Wol...
