FOOTBALL Why Kankonde dumped KCCA FC
The Congolese forward disappeared after KCCA FC's 3-2 win over S.C Villa in the FUFA Super 8 third/fourth place playoff and has since not returned to the side.
Kankonde believed he had fallen down the pecking order, yet he deserved to start in the club friendlies, something Sergio addressed, assuring the forward that it would only come with time in the season.
Close sources to the former AS Dauphin Noir de Goma forward indicated that Kankonde was irked by Traguil's response and chose to leave.

While Kankonde has never received an official 'bye' from the club, Traguil, on the other hand, was axed after a series of dismal results.
It now awaits to see if Kankonde will be back playing for the Kasasiro Boys going forward.

FOOTBALL LEAKED: Kankonde opens up on future in chat with girlfriend
Efforts to locate the missing forward have thus far been in vain, and club officials have been unable to determine the reason behind his sudden departure.
Kankonde, 23, joined KCCA at the start of last season on a two-year deal but struggled for form, managing seven goals across all competitions.
In May 2023, he was slapped with an eight-game ban after the FUFA Competitions Disciplinary panel reprimanded him for throwing a punch to centre referee Mashood Ssali in the closely contested league game against Vipers SC at the St. Mary's Stadium Kitende.
