Koswe has issued a stern message to sprinter Muzala Samukonga, emphasizing the importance of patriotism and respect for his Zambian identity. Koswe criticized Muzala for allegedly refusing to fly the Zambian flag, likening it to disowning one’s roots during difficult times.
He reminded Muzala of the significant support and recognition he has received from the government and the President, including a Presidential Award and opportunities for further training. Koswe warned that misguidance from his handlers could jeopardize his career and urged Muzala to prioritize his country over short-term gains. He also noted that past support from the government was crucial to Muzala’s success and emphasized that Zambia’s support will outlast any endorsement deals.
