Comments on: Muzala Samukonga says no to pledges from companies, individuals https://www.lusakatimes.com/2024/10/04/muzala-samukonga-says-no-to-pledges-from-companies-individuals/ Keeping you Informed Tue, 15 Oct 2024 08:38:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: Kalok https://www.lusakatimes.com/2024/10/04/muzala-samukonga-says-no-to-pledges-from-companies-individuals/#comment-3551778 Tue, 15 Oct 2024 08:38:01 +0000 https://www.lusakatimes.com/?p=462323#comment-3551778 My take on what Samukonga is saying is an underlying implication that pledges by these individuals and organizations end up being lip service without any substance. Some are alluding to Usain Bolt’s endorsements; those MATERIALISE. I have dealt with Zambian individuals who will string you on for long periods at a time until you self-detach because nothing substantial is coming out a definite waste of time and abuse of expectation. Those of us who have presided over pledge functions know that in most cases less than 20% actually materialise. (which would be too much in any case)

Not strange for someone his age. Next time take the money.

Athlete of his trade don’t get alot of money from the government!! so he should accept that and just balance his bank account!! In this modern days every 1 Ngwee courts my brother!!! bless

These same people offering him gifts will start using his name and picture to promote their products while giving him peanuts.

If not for him, Zambia would not have even been mentioned. His only sin is that he asked for what was due to him.
It is apparent no one wants to know what hard work goes on in achieving results.
Go get the citizenship of which ever country recognises you and your work ethic.
Zambia does not deserve you, Muzala.

He should resign from ZNS instead.
Pledges are fulfilled to winners, not to number 3s or 7th.
No country like Qatar will adopt him with such behavior.

What has Zambia done for him except threaten him for claiming what, they decided, he was entitled to?
Zambia – take a leaf on how Botswana treats its athletes maybe?

He could have donated the money to charity, further cementing his legacy.
