The Zambia Pool Union has announced the lineup that will represent Zambia in the 2023 Africa Cup and Hawley Cup in South Africa. Chabota Hamoonga, a player for Dynamite, made her tournament debut in 2021 and takes great pride in representing her country, contributing to changing the narrative of pool. Josephine Nakubaya, who began playing pool in 2018 in Petauke, impressively won two tournaments that same year. As the sole female participant in both competitions, she became an inspirational figure for women in the Eastern province, encouraging them to compete actively. Mercy Phiri, who initially played pool for fun in 2011, joined the league in 2018 and secured her first title within the same year. Juliet Nyika, affiliated with Kafupi, started her pool journey around 15 years ago as a casual pastime. However, recognizing her skills, she embarked on a more serious pool journey. Theresa Chileshe's pool venture began as a college hobby, transitioning to a professional level in early 2022. Nancy, who began playing pool at the age of 15, initiated her competitive career in 2017. Team Captain Chipoka Mutande boasts nearly 15 years of pool experience and pledges to lead the team to success, striving to secure medals. Lenganji Chanda, representing Kings Pool Club, initially found pool challenging but developed a deep interest, ultimately finding it more enjoyable as she improved her skills through consistent play.
