According to the area 30 outfit chairman Alexander Ngwala, the midfielder will be on loan for a year with an option of extension and he is expected to return when the Mokambola league ends in November 2020.

“We agreed with Songo that CJ should spend 2020 football season at the Mozambican side on loan like we have been doing every year and we allowed him to go,” Ngwala said.

Banda joins his brother Frank, former Flames goal minder Charles Swini and the rejuvenated Schumacher Kuwali who joined them earlier this month.
