Mulenga claimed a bronze medal after recording an emphatic 2-0 victory over Youcef Sabri of Algeria.
Earlier, Mulenga’s dream for another gold medal at the continental competition this year was shattered when he was eliminated from the tournament after suffering a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Juliene Paul of Mauritius, who went on to win the seniors competition.
Mulenga developed a hamstring injury while participating in the seniors’ tournament and was eliminated in the pre-quarter stage by Tinashe Olenkantse of Botswana as Chongo Ngosa suffered the same fate following a defeat to Abdelrahman Kashkal of Egypt.
The duo were the only Zambians that managed to reach second round stage as most of them were booted out in the first round.
