Today is the biggest day of my life. I can not believe I am going to carry the Zambian flag at the biggest and the most prestigious sporting event in the world.
1964 Olympics we entered as Northern Rhodesia and left as Zambia.
Today we enter as Zambia 🇿🇲
I'm so proud today!

Moved in with my boyfriend and the first thing I did was put up the Zambian flag. And he says "why are you putting the flag up" and I said, "you colonised me, now I colonise you"
He's English.

Whether Muzala wins or not, he should be celebrated like a winner. No athlete has made it to an Olympic final since 1996. This is a momentous occasion, medal or not, he's already a winner.

As an athlete that represents Zambia at the highest level, I am broke. I spend all my money on training, transport and food. I am not sponsored or funded. I am lucky that I have people that can help me. Imagine the athletes that don't. And that's why I fight for funding.

It's scary how the nation will support you when things are going great, but when you lose, you are sworn at and made fun of. Sport in Zambia will never progress with that type of support from fans. Win or lose, you support you team. That's what a REAL Zambian would do.

I may not have been born in Zambia. But that wasn't my choice. The first time I came to Zambia I was 3 months old, my mother and I moved to Zambia permanently at the age of 2. I have lived in Zambia my whole life, I speak the languages and I am a citizen....

I had the opportunity to surprise one of my biggest fans. Nawel had a class project where she had to present to the class a person that inspires her and who she looks up to. Everyone did Mandela or Ghandi and Nawel did her project on me. When I heard this, I made sure I saw her

The only difference between what is happening in Nigeria and Zambia is that the Nigerians have stood up and will not stop standing up for their rights. While Zambians are just keyboard fighters and will have one protest and be threatened by the government.

So Botswana will soon be the first country in Africa to be fully vaccinated. It's not hard when your population is like 50. I bet they don't even have news, just a WhatsApp group with the whole population.
