Lusaka Dynamos’ has received a major boast ahead of today’s crash against league leaders Young Arrows. Inspirational playmaker Perry Mutapa has returned from South Africa in good time. The 28 year old was rumoured to be attending trials at Amazulu.

Mutapa’s return is boast for ‘The Elite’ who will be missing William Njobvu through injury. Njobvu complained of fatigue and coincidently he has been out recovering for the last seven days. The 21 year old is poised to return next week.

Meanwhile, newly appointed Dynamos coach Hector Chilombo did not pitch at the afternoon training session. Chilombo a former international left back has had coaching stints at City of Lusaka, Lusaka Tigers and Chilanga Heroes.

But the annoucemant of the Chilombo’s appointment (which was done in one of the daily newspaper) has left many Queensmead faithful is dismay.

According to sources at the club, current care taker coaches, Lukas Tembo and Joel Kabemba only came to know about the development in the papers (yesterday)

“You can imagine the coaches where not briefed about the development (engagement of Chilombo), those two coaches have not been paid for the last four months,” the source said.

“But they have done a tremendous job here. Even last year Oswald Mutapa Jr got all the kudos for the fifth position on the log but he was away with the under-20, which qualified to the World Youth Cup on a large part of the season,” the source added

Congolese born Joel Kabemba joined Dynamos last season as an assistant to master tactician Oswald ‘Mourinho’ Mutapa Jr but the former was away with the under-20 for a month at the African Youth Championship in Congo.

Mutapa Jr left in May again with under-20 for a month long camping in Holland and Germany before he proceeded to Canada in June where the junior Chipolopolo reached the the last 16.

This season Kabemba has guided the Hichani Himoonde captained to eighth on the log, six points behind Young Arrows.

Kabemba played for Zamsure alongside former internationals Andrew Tembo and Shy Kumwenda.
