Gold medalist Muzala Samukonga races to K70,000

2022 Commonwealth Games 400m gold medalist Muzala Samukonga met MATERO member of parliament Miles Sampa and received part of the money that was raised in honour of the medal he minted for team Zambia.

The Matero law marker wrote;
This afternoon met our Champion Muzala and his father Moses Samukonga. I formally handed over everything that was raised and been received from the general public and this included a plot and money.

A total of K70,000 was raised from various Zambians.

K45,000 has today been deposited in Muzala’s personal bank account and K10,000 onto his Sampay mobile money account.

The balance of K15,000 is yet to be received from some that pledged. I am hopeful they will honour their pledges sooner so we give Muzala hopefully by the end of next week.

I wish to convey special thanks to over 200 mobile money contributors that appreciated Muzala from their heart. Some sent token amounts as low as K5 but together all added up to K70,000 in total.

Zikomo to all on behalf of Muzala and his parents??. May our champion win some more medals hereon.

Together We Can
