BACKGROUND

Lazarous was born in Chingola, Zambia. He grew up in Chingola before moving to Kitwe to stay with his brother Promise. Promise noticed that his younger brother had an aptitude for football. He took it upon himself to nurture the talent in Lazarous, but his parents were against it. They wanted Lazarous to pursue a more conventional approach to life. However, Promise sealed Lazarous’ career path when he went out of his way to get his first soccer boots.

Education

Lazarous received both conventional and soccer education from a young age. He studied at Mamamoti Basic School while training with Mindolo Youngsters FC in 2004. In 2006 Lazarous and Promise moved to Chililabombwe, where Lazarous joined Malalo Sports Academy. This was during his grade 10. After his Grade 12 examinations, he enrolled with the Football Association of Zambia Division 1 (Konkola Mine Police). This is where his career took off.

CAREER

During his time with Konkola Mine Police, he was their top scorer for the Super division with 18 goals. In 2013 he was then signed to Konkola Blades. However, he only played for a season. Recognizing his talent, ZESCO swiped him up before the 2014 season. However, the first two years were a bit underwhelming for Lazarous. He got very little game time due to the stiff competition in the club.

In 2017, he finally got a chance to shine with the new coach Zlatko Kromptic from Serbia. Lazarous proved to be a phenomenal player. Recognizing his talent, Kazier Chiefs scouted Lazarous and signed a contract with him starting July 2019. The club paid R3 million for a three-year contract. However, his start at the chiefs did not go so well. He said that his less than stellar performance is due to adjustments lag time. Lazarous said that he was still learning the team’s play, coach’s philosophy and adjusting to the new environment.
