Zambia Voluntary Soccer Fans Association (ZAVOSOFA) patron Peter Makembo has called for patience from the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) councillors till next year when the new committee will be ushered into office.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS sports in Lusaka, Makembo has advised aggrieved councillors calling for resignation of some FAZ officials to be patient until next year.
Makembo says it is immoral for the councillors to continue calling for the resignation of some officials when the current FAZ has only a year to go.
He said the move calling for their resignation is immoral and accused those calling for their impeachment of trying to disturb the running of football in the country.
He said although the councilors are somehow justified, the call to resign is unnecessary as they have the potential to disturb the running of football in the country and also cause disturbances among supporters and sponsors.
Makembo has since advised the councilors attending the FAZ annual general meeting this month to instead concentrate on other important issues will help in developing the supports inn the country.
Some councilors have petitioned FAZ Vice President Emanuel Munaile, Secretary General George Kasengele, and other committee members to resign from their position for allegedly failing to uphold the constitution.
Meanwhile, ZAVOSOFA has described the 2012 African Cup qualifiers draws as the as the easiest ever Zambia has been in.
Makembo said the draws presents Zambia with the opportunity to finish top in the group and get seeded during the 2012 Gabon Equatorial Guinea draws.
He has since asked FAZ to use the international friendly days to call all Zambians professionals who were left during the Angola tournament both home and abroad for a possible inclusion in the national team
He said this is the only way players will be selected on merit and build a strong team for Zambia ahead on the 2012 games.

l-) It sounds to me like uyu Makembo balimusubako ka…..Why a sudden change of attitude? [-x
This pastor is fake. If people are evil or doing something wrong, do you leave them until judgement day or try to correct them immediately where you can?
Why wait until their term expires then you correct their mistakes? Thats why in Zambia we can allow a frog to lead us claiming it’s ordained by God and it must finish the term even when such creature is not even born again. Foolish Makembo is trying to save Kalusha, is he funded in part by Kalu??? Time for Kalu to pack his back pack and leave FAZ is now together with all the pipo appointed illegally and those not performing. Makembo are u telling us if someone is stealing you let him until his term is over? No wonder Chiluba milked us to the bone.
Let the current committee resign it has failed us, enough is enough of being second best all the time. Makembo is a fake..
Have alwayz wondered why this man of the pulpit iz given so much leverage to speak about futbo. Wat makes up this thing called ZAVOSOFA which has only the patron talking every time?
iwe mukembo..when was the last time you were in church?:o
“easiest group ever” mwanya, muzaka lila
