The future of Zambia coach Dario Bonetti comes into question as Minister of Sports Fackson Shamenda is to sit down with FAZ soon to inquire how the Italian was hired.
With change of government, it was expected that the former Juventus man’s 2 and a half year contract would come into scrutiny.
Former President Rupiah Banda had revealed last year that he had a hand in the hiring of Bonetti.
Bonetti was employed in July last year and FAZ then defended his appointment.
But Shamenda has now said he will sit with FAZ to see how Bonetti was recruited.
QFM
ok ba pf this is just ridiculous!! yeah i said it!! this is what we call efing misplaced priorities!!! everything now has to be under review??? efing really?/ we cant move on?
Shikulu ba Shamenda wait until after the Africa cup, timing shikulu! Yes, alot of plot 1 was involved but may be this is not the right time to bring up this issue! RB is not going anywhere
I hope that wont affect our africa cup qualifiers on saturday
lets wait till after afcon also aren’t there more pressing matters that need to be attended toÂ
1. Saturday game is 50 – 50, the selection of most players is bad. We have too many bench warmers at their clubs. If Zambia loose then Bonetti is done for good.
2. We want Msiska back please. Bonetti is winning by chance. He never fused any new talent in the team, he continues misplacing players especially in defense & midfield, he is not charismatic, he is simply a RB’s character. He can even go today, Zambia can play without a coach anyway.
We are behind shedule remember its 90days kabili.
Our national team camp does not need their boss to be under the cloud of uncertainty about his contract and as to whether he will take the team to AFCON. I think this is irresponsible journalism and irresponsible Minister with short-sightedness. Couldn’t they wait till after our boys qualify at least.
What incentive is there now for the coach to make the team qualify when the writing is on the wall that he will be the next to be fired after seeing some firing happening in the country left right and centre.
This is truly irresponsible and unpatriotic to the flag of Zambia. Shame indeed. Wrong timing.
These days you talk sense. You really need a clap to be sensible MMDCB!
good for the first time you have contributed something which makes sense baba
I’d agree with what you have said, and many things you say, but unfortunately for you, something slips out which points towards a personal hate, or something negative and personal, in this case the word shame. Your contributions would sit well with most people and prove more effective if you stop sounding bitter or hateful. Supporting MMD is not the problem.
there is an aura of revenge and hatred in the country just watch the behaviour of the majority of zambians for the next few years, the seed has already been planted…
Ba minister, please wait until after the qualifying matches are played. We can’t afford to lose the coming match due to the uncertainty you are trying to cause in our nation team.

Thats taking it too far now. Leave football out of politics pls. Let Kalu handle that. Dont interfere or else face wrath of FIFA
clean up a must thing and people should learn to do things in a striaght manner. He was engaged wrongly. Lets call a spead a spead. We will never learn when we start tolerating everything.
Shamenda ——-this all he can preoccupy his head with? Why cant he talk abou the vision he has for the Zambia workers. Isn`t this his first interview since appointment? Isn`t he supposed to talk about the vision he has for his Ministry? Its a pity indeed!!!!!!!!!
PF govt has 90 days to cleanup the stinking mass not only at football house but state house aswel,we were not happy with the way Kalusha treated his collegue who tried to question some of his dealings.motivation of player depends on how their allowances are paid. take time to interview players on how FAZ conducts itself.
FIRE HIM IF HE WASÂ ENGAGEDÂ BY CORRUPT MEANS. WHO CARES EVEN IF WEÂ DON’TÂ QUALIFY? THIS TEAM LOOSING TEAM!!! EVERY THING IN ZAMBIA SHOULD BEÂ REVISITED!! IT IS ALL RUBBISH!!
# 13 “That is the classic thinking of ABATUTU that I always talk of, no reasoning whatsoever, even going as far as overlooking the obvious IYE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ZAMBIA KANSHII!!!!!!!!! ABATUTU…..

STUPIT IDEA WHO IS BEHIND THIS? KALU OR HENRY BANDA? BA SHAMENDA FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO. WORKERS NEED A DECENT WAGE NOT IFYUO IFYA BOLA ALA!
gvt interference ba shamenda go to the mines and see what people are getting …so this gvt is just a vindictive gvt and not a working one as they claim to be? atase!
Andrew Kamanga has to be prought to book….
Sahmenda was a total failure who neglected his electorate for some brown envelopes from FTJ. He is nothing but a devil who comes back in a sheepskin. I hope King Cobra breathes on his neck to perform. Useless recycled crap!
Okay this move has come at a wrong time, when we are preparining for a very important game, shamenda’s first move is ill timed.
FIRE HIM AND LOCK HIM UP AT CHIMBOKAILA IF THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT HE BRIBED ANYONE. NO MERCY. WE ARE WASTING TAX PAYERS MONEY PAYING CORRUPT INDIVIDUALS WHO CANT EVENÂ PERFORM.
ALL OUR YOUNG PLAYERS WHO WHERE INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION IN EUROPE HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED, WHY CANT WE PROSECUTE THISÂ COACH? IS IT BCOZ HE IS WHITE? AMA RUBBISH!!!!!
WAKE UP ZAMBIANS, CORRUPTION IS CORRUPTIONÂ WHETHERÂ IT INVOLVES THE NATION TEAM COACH, IT IS CORRUPTION. YOU WANT TO ENCOURAGE CORRUPTION TO MAKE SURE YOUR TEAM OF FAILURES QUALIFY FOR THE AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS?THAT IS WHY OUR TEAM IS NOT EVEN PERFORMING WELL BECOZ EVEN IN FOOTBALL YOU HAVE CORRUPT INDIVIDUALS.
FIGHTING CORRUPTION IS COSTLY SO WE MAY NOT QUALIFY BUT BRING SANITY TO THE GAME OF FOOTBALL IN ZM. THEN WE CAN START ON A GOOD NOTE.Â
Bafikala muleikalafye, its not material to start that, not everything you should touch – wen we start to react, tamwakakwanishe – please leave football out of politics…..
Sort all the corupt ***8 big, you,ve got my surport.
Zambia 0-Libya 2 ,how would u Shamenda feel about such a result .Shamenda ,I have always supported PF but this is bullshhhhhhhhhhhttt ,WAUMFWA AI
Hon Shamenda, the best you can do is to think about the well being of workers in this nation. You are now busy demoralizing our players and coach. Pls football is a psychological game and these comments has a negative effect on our coach and boys. I have it on record during the race to parliament where u said the now Mwanawasa stadium was a waste of money, which simply tells every serious Zambia that you have no heart for our sport. pls leave our game out of your misplaced proirities politics. Wish you well
shamenda should also be fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If there was indeed mal-practice in the way Bonetti was hired, that needs to be corrected, and whoever was responsible should be brought to book. If however, Bonetti is doing a good job, he can be kept by doing things properly. He does not necessarily have to go, but the truth has to be in the open. Humble opinion.
The axe will fall on Bonnetti especially if we fail to qualify on Saturday.
HE HAS SIMPLY SAID HE WILL LOOK AT IT, he hasn’t fired him!!!!
Besides it is his remit as Minister, if the coach is funded by the tax payers!!!

What does Sata or Shamenda know about soccer?It seems pf dont know how to develop the country.How can everything Banda did become wrong and a subject of an enquiry?Football has its own politics and i doubt if Sata and Shamenda have a clue whatsoever!When Zambia X11 crashed in 1993 where was Sata?He was in the cabinet that refused to give Michael Mwape permission and money to use Zambia airways saying Faz must fend for itself.MM went for Zaf buffalo plane,you all know what happened on 28 april!!Now Bonetti was not hired properly!!These pf thugs must just focus on stealing because Chikwanda cant stop them.Who will stop sata from stealing?Let Bonetti do his job and finish his contract infact give him and the team bonuses Mr hopeless Shamenda.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.ve Michael Mwape permission and m
