Sad news as Popular footballer gets killed by his own three wild dogs!
Fri, 13 Jan 2023Source: Philip NeeWhang
The nation's soccer community is grieving the loss of former Zambian international Philemon Mulala, who passed away in Lichtenburg, South Africa, after being attacked by his own dogs.
Since Mulala's death was verified on Monday, Zambia has been in sorrow. The 60-year-old was killed by his three dogs in the garden of his home in the North West province on Saturday at about 3 p.m. local time.
According to a statement sent to ESPN by police spokesman Captain Sam Tselanyane, Mulala was found by his wife and was pronounced dead at the scene.
As their house is located on a busy street and the dogs frequently growled at pedestrians and passing automobiles, Tselanyane said, "She didn't bother to go and investigate what was wrong [while the dogs were barking].
"After load shedding, when the power came back on, she went inside to check for her husband but was unable to locate him.
He stated, "The woman continued her search and found her husband lying still outside in the garden. The husband had been bitten by their dogs when she walked outdoors later.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals subsequently removed the three animals from the location (SPCA).
It's really a horrible ending, said Sydney Mungala, an FAZ spokesman, to ESPN. "Many people who observed him, notably Mufulira Wanderers supporters, have been openly expressing their sorrow.
He went on to say that "many remember him from his days with the national team, when he won Zambia's first significant post-independence trophy." He had started a business in South Africa "since retirement."
Mulala, a dynamic wideman, was a well-known member of the renowned Chipolopolo generation of the 1980s, often known as KK11 after President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, the country's founding father.
Under the late Colonel Brightwell Banda, the squad won the East and Central Africa Challenge (CECAFA) Cup in 1984, making it the first time Zambia has ever won a trophy.
