Zambia, Draughts Stronghold

Mwaaza Sakala popularly known as Sacks in arenas of draughts (Pool Checkers) proved beyond shadows of doubt that he is a hard nut to crack and he who attempts to do so must prepare to suffer. This was shown when he came face to face with two best players from Malawi in a Malawi vs Zambia encounter organised by ADMA in collaboration with ZDF which took place on 16 June 2012. The first match was between Sacks and Enock. At the end of 10 games Sacks defeated Enock 3 - 1. Malawians had full hope in the veteran Madalitso "Baba" Thom who after closely watching Sacks's games against Enock expressed hope that no matter what he was going to make Sacks regret his coming to Malawi. Just a minute in the first game Baba started feeling the hard shell of Sacks who looked composed and confident. At the end of 10 games Baba lost 4 - 2. This was his first defeat in a competitive match and he could not believe this and quickly asked for an unofficial rematch just to make sure that his reputation was restored. Each had to bet $40 and 12 games were played after it all, Sacks demolished Baba 3 - 0 with 9 draws which meant that Baba did not even win a single game. When asked to comment on Sacks extra ordinary talent he only said "I have played with a man whose defense is just rock solid and am happy that ADMA invited this man as I thought that no man can beat me and am looking forward to a day when I will revenge but before that I have to work on my weaknesses and am optimistic that I can still beat Sacks"
