Mulenga happy with reunion with Justin Shonga

New Orlando Pirates striker Augustine Mulenga says he is happy to link up with Zambian teammates Justin Shonga at the Buccaneers.


“Justin is like my brother, we grew up together. We were supposed to play for Nkwazi FC together but I left the club a couple of months before he joined. We have played together for Chipolopolo where we were always roommates. We have played together in the Cosafa Cup, the Chan qualifiers and some international friendlies,” Mulenga told the Pirates website.

“It is difficult to put in words what it means for the both of us to be here. We are childhood friends. We grew up having the same dream of playing together and winning cups together. For a while it felt as if we would never play together because life was pulling us in different directions but now we are both here and it is almost an indescribable feeling. I just see it as a promise of what’s to come and I pray that the Lord helps us reach our goals with Orlando Pirates.”
