Kalusha Bwalya will next month be going for not one, but two elective Caf positions at the 33rd Caf ordinary general assembly to be held in Sudan.

According to a press release from Caf, Kalusha will stand for both a Caf and Fifa executive position at the ordinary assembly to be held in Khartoum on February 23 towards the close of the 2011 CHAN finals.

For the Caf Southern zone executive committee position, Kalusha will be up against four other Cosafa zone candidates.

Topping the list is 2010 Fifa World Cup organizing committee CEO Danny Jordaan of South Africa.

Others are Adam Mthethwa of Swaziland, Namibian John Muinjo, and Angolan Justino Fernandes, all are all heads of their respective national Football Associations.

Football Association of Malawi president Walter Nyamilandu completes the list of candidates for the Caf executive committee position for the Cosafa zone.

The post is currently held by ex-SAFA president Molefi Oliphant who will not re-contest the post.

Meanwhile, Kalusha is also targeting one of the coveted two Caf zone Fifa executive committee position currently held by the Jacques Anouma from Cote D’Ivoire and the beleaguered Amos Adamu from Nigeria.

Kalusha will be up against both Anouma and Adamu including favorite for one of the positions Jordaan including two other candidates.

Mofamed Roauraoua from Algeria and Cosafa president Suketu Patel who trounced Kalusha for the Zone 6 top job by 7 votes to 2 in 2006.

Galu u have failed to run football affairs @ national level how do expect to handle greater tasks?

If you want to be in those institutions elections are the decent and transparent way to go, not the backdoor dark corner Andrew Simataa Kamanga way. By the way where are those guys? Interim FAZ yalifwa bushe?
Selako Ntambe January 12, 2011 At 9:25 pm

Go Kalu Go and get those posts. It is better to have presentable leaders than things like Simataa. Just his physical appearance will not attract anybody’s handshake. Did you see Simataa’s picture watching Zambia vs Zimbabwe?? Thats why we lost the macth.
Hey January 12, 2011 At 9:59 pm

If Namibia with all their failures support their son whose name is known only to them, then go Kalu go. Dont listen to poverty stricken haters and jobless simataa.

Haters, wake up, there is something about the name you hate most. Come on to insult.
Citizen January 12, 2011 At 10:16 pm

Good to set his sights high, only wish he had been more successful at home as coach and FAZ president.
Oil in zambia January 12, 2011 At 10:30 pm

Success is relative. Comparing Kalu’s management to whoz ? Zimbabwe, mozambiq, malawi, namibia, angola. Nay. Just Build stadia in zambia so that your sons can successfully bid for tourneys like Jordaan. You shud be ashamed that mauritias support their man even if their football is nothing to talk about.

All he has brought to FAZ is non stop infighting and scandels in the transfere markets. FAZ under Kalu is so spintered and rife with infighting, fighting between the coaches, fighting between the coaches and the office, fighting with Refs, fighting with FIFA. What do you expect when FAZ is run by remote from SA.

Galu is a failure at a small office called FAZ. can he bark & be effective at continental level? absolutely not.

The chap is so full of himself and has no respect for the rule of law.

Let the Galu stay home & reform before making any attempts at CAF

All the best bwana Kalu, but you’re a big time failure in terms of adminstration. I wonder how you would manage if elected.
Hey January 13, 2011 At 6:11 am

Chama Chakomboka you really hate the man. Hope you enjoy it & wish you a 2011 full of hatred.
Kamuyongole Manyekaela January 13, 2011 At 7:12 am

This man is just going to embarrass this country at an even higher level. For an administrator Kalu is a complete flop. Only Luapulans who believed Chiluba should have been given another term to finish programs only they alone could see would believe this f.o.ol is a good administrator. Anyway, their comparable to an economy is Zaire where there is none.

Pipo dont hate this Kalu “Gbagbo” Bwalya but they hate his poor management style at FAZ. Any sensible person knows by now that the man is a total disgrace except a few relatives / chola boys out there. Nway he will come back with one vote like at COSAFA….

When you worship or hate somebody so much, reality doezn’t make sense any more.

Ka PHD pa ZED awe mwandi its too much. Lets learn to support our own at big gatherings. Thats how the West Africans have dominated positions in international organisations. Ba Kalu, go ahead and make us visible.

its a pity that some pipo on this web come to blog by not giving reasonable info but to insult..Kalu is a man and i like him coz he has done so much 4da zambia..simata failed to finish his term as FAZ president,can some tell me why? Lack of ambition, insight, leadership and goals for the zambian futball led to that!! Go KAlu

zuma January 13, 2011 At 10:19 am

The biggest problem we have as Zambians is be arm chair critics without offering an alternative.Kalu is the thing that ever came out of Soccer ( players ).the Man has ambitions which sadly most of us don’t have.He has single handily put Zambia on the world map as regards for sport.Tell me who else will go to FIFA and basically walk the corridors of power there an hindered? Ama jealousy pa Zed!even Jordaan in SA is not as good as he’s been labeled,the Guy to gether with Khoza fought a dirty battle in the end they had to compromise.Bottom line is those with Guts will make it in life!Go for it and kick those Africans behinds!who knows another 5yrs we talking FIFA babe…

If the COSAFA vote he got is used as a benchmark, I foresee heavy rocks falling over this perpertual failure.
Tiyetiye January 13, 2011 At 5:14 pm

Aim forthe sky so you can land in the clouds if you should fall…Go Kalu Go!!!
Gilberto January 13, 2011 At 5:43 pm

GO FOR IT KALU! This country is bereft of ambitious people. Not since the days of Mr. Tom Mtine has a Zambian ever aspired for an Executive position at CAF! Why should it be a problem for Kalu to have Global and Continental aspirations. Talking about failure, I do not know where Kalu has failed, he simply has people trying to pull him down. Show me a single Zambian, apart from KK, with a name on the global stage, and i will present to you KALU! GO FOR IT BOY!
eAnalyst January 14, 2011 At 5:03 am

Gilberto, ask Kalu how many games he played at PSV. Check you facts mwebantu. Here is short list of his notable failures: (1) Penalty against Angola, (2) As coach, (3) COSAFA Elections, (4) Most desliked captain–ask his team mates, (5) Stopped scoring except free kicks, (6) Two marriages, the list is endless.
Bonventure January 14, 2011 At 11:39 am

Infatc this is an open race because there is no favourite. I say so because there are more contestants are many and votes will be split. So anyone can pull it. MAY THE BEST CANDIDATE WIN AND THOSEN INCLUDE KALU. GOOD LUCK!!!
Abena Nsofu January 14, 2011 At 1:01 pm

I am sure he is planning for his exit after the March no confidence vote. He knows that his time is up and now has to find something else to do. Who knows, corrupt FIFA might have a suitable role for him after all.
Ku South Africa January 14, 2011 At 4:56 pm

The Kalu guy is broke that why he can not let go of FAZ. Its is only pay cheque.
Gilberto January 14, 2011 At 7:16 pm

eAnalyst, What you have listed as failures are laughable to say the least. Is missing a penalty failure? Explain how he failed as a coach? He simply quit because of the dual-role noise generated by the same failures currently hounding him. Players like Mbesuma and Jacob Mulenga came into national reckoning under his watch. Losing elections at COSAFA isn’t failure. And where is COSAFA Senior challenge cup now? If you define divorce as failure I will not argue with you but then all the great men I know like Mandela, Sata, Chiluba, Benny Hinn etc have also failed. I take you are the greatest!
