Silver, MOZ club agree on K6.5m deal for Kaonga

Silver Strikers talisman Chawanangwa Kaonga is set to start a new lease of life at Mozambican club FC Chibuto after the two clubs agreed on a $15 000 [about K6.5 million] transfer deal.

Silver chairperson McDonald Mafuta-Mwale yesterday said Kaonga successfully completed trials and is set to sign a contract.

“Kaonga is not coming back. He passed the trials and we have already agreed the terms with his prospective club, all that remains is the payment so that we instruct FAM to issue clearance,” said Mafuta-Mwale.

Last week, two other Silver Strikers players—goalkeeper Charles Swini and midfielder Frank Banda—also signed for another Mozambican top league side Club De Costa Songo on a one-year loan deal valued at $10 000 [about K4.3 million] for both.

Meanwhile, another Silver player, Lameck Kachimanga, has turned down an outright offer from another Mocambola League side TNHFC.

“What we had agreed when I went there for trials is not what the club is offering,” said Kachimanga.

He said in view of the development, he has opted to see out his contract at Silver up to December this year.

Mafuta-Mwale confirmed that Kachimanga had indeed turned down the Mozambican club offer after failing to agree on contractual terms.

He said another Silver key player Blessings Tembo is still attending trials at Costa Dol Sol in Mozambique.
