It's something I admired, and now I'm excited to be part of it."
Competition for Places and Eagerness to Compete
Known for his no-nonsense defensive approach and physical presence, Banda is fully aware of the competition for places within Mponda's squad. "I know I'm joining a team filled with quality," he said.
