According to Zambian journalist, Kennedy Gondwe, Kalaba, who was one of the star performers on the legendary Zambian team that shocked the world to win the AFCON in Gabon, has been discharged from the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Zambia.

Public Relations Officer of UT, Nzeba Chanda, communicated this about the winger who spent 12 years at DR Congo side TP Mazembe.
