WHILST eleven able-bodied Zambian men referred to as Chipolopolo only managed to score two goals against Comoros in yesterday’s football encounter in Lusaka, a man of Kabwe has beaten the odds by singlehandedly managing to score three goals from the comfort of his matrimonial bedroom.
However, unlike other hat trick heroes like Christiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi who are given a mere ball as reward for their hat trick, Pascal Bwalya,28 got the ultimate reward, three of bouncy babies all crying for diapers, milk, powder and all other baby needs!
In his own account, Bwalya said that in all the 9 months pregnancy of his 27-year old girlfriend Tabitha Banda, they never went for antenatal and expected only one child until the day the babies started popping out, one after another.
“After ba madam gave birth to the first child, I was informed that she has been taken to the Hospital because the babies were two and I had to buy another baby blanket.
“But after an hour, I recieved a call and they told me there are two more children but I was confused thinking the other child they were referring to was the girl who was born first,” he narrated.
He said the first child was born at Katondo clinic while the two came out into the world at Kabwe General Hospital.
With three babies on one day, Pascal like his country Zambia, is in desperate need for a bailout package from the IMF or anyone of good heart.
“I don’t have any plans as my mind is at a standstill but I want to keep the children and bring the mother to my house,” Pascal lamented.
Pascal is asking for any assistance that can be rendered to him, as the fully capable soldier who killed three birds with one stone is incapable of taking care of the babies without something tangible to do.
“Umo kuti walanda ati waimpompako but ba tatu pa muku umo(with one child you at least try but three children), when you didn’t expect them, there will be a lot of challenges”
He adds that any tangible job or work in government will help him have a steady income so that he can get his girlfriend.
