Coach Massy was a football evangelist par excellence.
I met him with Lo Renzo last year at Woodlands Stadium before Nkana won the title.
He was a humble down to earth man. We spoke briefly and he easily gave us his number without any fuss.
His love for God was evident. Many attest prayer and the Bible were second nature to Mwale.
It is not surprising that he proclaimed “favour” on Nkana and the popular club turned from stone throwers in the last decade to title winners.
He loved to say: “God’s time was the best.”
Was this the best time or way to go Ba Masauso sure?
Anyway, only God knows why you had to go this early when your beloved wife Matidah,your 4 children: Blessings,Chisomo, Chikhulupiliro and Favour, Nkana and Zambia still badly needed you.
Go well God’s faithful servant and take your rightful place among the angels in heaven!
