Club career

From 2004 to 2007, "Zife" played for South African giants Orlando Pirates and joined Swedish team Helsingborgs IF for the 2007–08 season to team up with former South Africa coach Stuart Baxter.[2] In late 2006, while still playing for Pirates, Chansa was banned by the PSL for three months (nine suspended) after he was found guilty of assaulting an assistant referee during Pirates’ clash against Jomo Cosmos. After the end of his contract in Sweden with Helsingborgs IF returned on 1 February 2010 to his former club Orlando Pirates.[3] The Player has signed a pre contract with Pirates Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs and will be crossing the ship in July 2012.

At June 2012, Orlando Pirates have confirmed that he has been transferred to Chinese club Henan Jianye F.C. for a transfer fee of 700,000 US Dollars.[4]

He was part of the Zambian 2006 African Nations Cup team, who finished third in group C in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals.
