Zambian athlete Muzala Samukonga is poised to begin his injury treatment this month, thanks to the financial support received from the Ministry of Sports. The injury was sustained during his last race where he was unable to complete the event on July 14, 2023, in Poland. In a press statement, Samukonga stated, "On July 31, 2023, at exactly 22:00hrs (CAT), we received the necessary funds for my treatment from the Ministry of Sports. Now that we have the funds, we will commence the treatment process." The Adidas athlete acknowledged the unpredictability of the treatment duration but expressed his hope to participate in the World Athletics, which is scheduled to begin in a few weeks. He said, "Despite not knowing how long the treatment process will take, I remain optimistic that I will be treated promptly, aiming to get back on track for training before the world championships later this month. Participating in the world championship and proudly representing Zambia has always been my dream, and I am determined not to let it fade away." As he embarks on his treatment journey, we extend our best wishes to Samukonga and hope for a swift recovery.
