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.
