The former Chipolopolo skipper had been involved in a road accident that claimed the life of the driver.

Moonga was given the letter of appointment by Civil Service Commission Chairperson Dr Choolwe Beyani.
Beyani praised the graduate for her bravery, adding that the gesture of employment was in line with the presidential directive to employ volunteers.
An elated Moonga thanked the Civil Service Commission and the government for the reward.
The Eden University graduate added that saving the life of Mr Kalaba, whom she did not know, has changed her life.
Elsewhere, Kenyans expressed their anger after a video of a man who was almost swept by floods went viral on the internet.
Details indicate that the man had been warned against daring to cross the raging water but he ignored the warning and plunged in.
His move came days after Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen asked Kenyans to avoid engaging in activities that can claim lives.
