Muzala Samukonga has opened the door to accept these pledges

Zambian athlete Muzala Samukonga, who recently made headlines for winning a bronze medal in the men’s 400 meters at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has made a significant decision regarding the support he has received. Initially, Samukonga declined to accept financial pledges and gifts from companies and individuals, citing personal reasons and circumstances beyond his control.

Despite expressing deep gratitude for the overwhelming support and generosity, he stated that he was unable to receive the pledges at that time . However, Samukonga has now reconsidered his stance, opening the door to accept these pledges. This shift follows recognition of the ongoing support from both the Zambian public and various organizations.

One notable example is Micmar Zambia, which pledged $5,000 to honor his remarkable achievement. The move signals a new phase for the athlete, who has expressed excitement for the future, as he continues to represent Zambia on the global stage
