Government adds tenor voice to the praise of Sakala’ charity efforts

MORE recognition and commendation has come the way of Saudi based Zambian player Fashion Sakala, as Government adds it chorus to the praise of his impact in the community.

Sakala, plays for AlFayha, has touched many hearts and souls for his gesture in uplifting the lives of his community in Eastern Province, through the construction of a health facility, donation of mealie-meal and wheel chairs to those in need.

This weekend, he saw the final of the football tournament he sorely sponsored and named after him.

The Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts for Permanent Secretary Kangwa Chileshe commended the 27 year old striker’s recent charitable efforts.

“It is gratifying to note that Mr Sakala has come back to his community and the nation to show appreciation to the people who have seen him advance and
grow into a successful football icon in Zambia and the world,” Chileshe remarked.

He said the gesture by Sakala resonates well with Government’s call for reinvesting back home to our communities and the nation calling for eminent people locally and in the diaspora to plough back in our communities.

“Government is in full support of undertakings that work towards the
wellbeing of society such as sports recreation activities which help reduce crime, drug abuse, immorality among many other social vices and it is hence the desire of this Government to see such undertakings being frequently held,” added the Permanent Secretary.

The Ministry pledged its continued support for such initiatives.
