Kids in Kabanana compound dream of becoming great footballers
 Football is the number one sport in Zambia and many kids would love to be great footballers.
We met some kids in Kabanana compound today and they shared with us their love for the game of football.
All the best to the young footballers and we certainly hope that their dreams will come true.
How the displaced people of Mazyopa are celebrating Africa Freedom Day.
The people of Mazyopa who had their houses destroyed last year in August are still waiting to be taken to the new place in Chongwe.
As Zambia joins the rest of Africa in celebrating Africa Freedom Day, the affected families say they have no reason to celebrate on this day because they are facing many problems.
We hope that the people of Mazyopa will be helped soon.

Sports has for all the time been looked upon, as very important for the growth of a child.
In that play and sports helps a Child to grow up, active and health.
It is for this reason that Children from the catholic churches in Matero Township on Monday decided to be absent from church to take part in a sports day.
The activities held at Lusaka’s Matero Boys School grounds saw over 400 Children from six Catholic Churches within Matero.
An organiser, Paul Kazadi says Sports is important for every child and should be promoted at all times.
