Mazembe Were In A 'Registration Fight' For Musonda During The Mini Transfer
Window Before He (Musonda) Joined Yanga In January 2023 From Power Dynamos Of Zambia.
The Citizen Understands
That Yanga Officials And TP Mazembe CEO, Frederic Kitengie, Are In Deep
Discussions On The Matter.
Kitengie, Who Also

Agree To The Move.
