Christopher Katongo Wins BBC African Player Of The Year 2012






Zambia captain Christopher Katongo has won the 2012 BBC African Player of the Year Award following a period of online voting and text messaging from fans.  The 30-year-old  faced stiff opposition from the likes of Demba Ba, Didier Drogba, Younes Belhanda and Yaya Toure but won a little over 40% of the votes. He also becomes the first winner from southern Africa to win this award. Speaking to BBC immediately after the announcement, the Zambian legend was full of praise as he thanked those who recognised his hardwork and voted for him.
