The government has said that Football stakeholders have agreed to hold an Emergency Annual General Meeting were various misunderstandings will be resolved.
Sports Minister, Emmanuel Mulenga said that the outcome of the AGM will be final and that everyone will have to comply.
Mulenga said that the parties, who include the FAZ Executive, come up with this initiative through a meeting which was organized by the National Sports Council of Zambia.
Speaking at a press briefing, Mulenga said the government will ban anyone who will abrogate what will be agreed upon by the AGM.
He said the government does not want the country to be banned because of a few individuals.
And Mulenga said parties have agreed to withdraw the cases before the courts of law in the spirit of promoting reconciliation and that government has no preferred candidate for the FAZ Presidency.
Mulenga said the fact that Kalusha Bwalwa and Andrew Kamanga have all accused him of being bias in the media, a sign that he does not support any of them.
He said the government is interested in taking football forward rather than saving the interests of two people.
But, when reached for comment, FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala said those who want to be heard by the Emergency Annual General Meeting are free to do so.
Kasahala said this should, however, been done according to the FAZ and FIFA regulations.
You can have as many meetings as you want as long as the chief thief and his cronies are not in the FAZ executive.
Kamanga and kalu are the one’s who are brining comfusions in our faz affairs,ban the all let munaile takeover
Excellent strategy. The pf way of doing things is dialogue and ironing out differences. Thank you ba minister
There’s nothing positive that will come from that EAGM as long as it will be chaired by Andrew Ndanga Kamanga. Kamanga wants to exclude others from elections using flawed rules, let the councilors decide whom they want to lead them. Even if he excludes Kalusha and Richard Kazala it doesn’t mean that he will win elections. Andrew can even lose to a nonentity and that will still take football backwards. If he’s popular why does he want to exclude others? Isn’t this the chap who even declared a breakaway football league when Kalu was President? This tradition of excluding others from elections must come to an end be it in sports, unions, or politics. ZCTU did the same at their last AGM where the Judiciary officials were unfairly excluded even when they had filed their nominations papers…
PF have killed media; prime TV , The Post. Vodafone is already gone!
PF have killed mines, KCM and Mopani are leaving.
PF are now put Zambian Football in abortuar, waiting meeting to slaughter.
Excuse me. Why do we celebrate thieves in Zambia?
Kamanga will also go to prison right here in Zambia. We know why he wants to cling to the position. Kashala is a police officer, so by stealing the computer saver in which financial records are is a shallow way of trying to kill evidence. Their days are numbered
Surely where has this moron been…its only when FIFA has responded that Kamanga stays has he come out as he has used up all his cards. These are all Lungu’s appointees very useless as they come. What differences are there to iron out that dont include your ball mascot Great Galu? FIFA official is coming to tell you off
Tarino ,i always doubt your caribre why do you always what to drag the name of h.e into your shalow arguments?was kamanga appointed? I feel pity for you.your elders as got a big job to do
Why is Mulenga in hurry? FIFA said a representative will come to sort out issues after Corona! Mulenga should just stop involving himself in FAZ/FIFA issues because even this emergency meeting is planned for by government, its already government interference! From Kashala’s response its seems this emergency meeting is just bulldoze from Mulenga. I suggest that President Lungu should fire Mulenga now to bring back maturity to government football adminstration in Zambia!
Maybe Kalusha should replace Mulenga at the ministry otherwise at FAZ, kalu not wanted by football fans. He is a bygone. Like UNIP in politics, let him go extinct if he can’t something else to do, what fashion is there in bygones? If Mulenga so much want kalu let him step aside for kalu. If he can’t, why should he push Kamanga to step aside for Kalusha? The PF *****s are used to ignoring constitutional provisions, they know kalu not eligible to stand due to bad record but they want him stand, why? They want a fellow criminal at FAZ. now that FIFA says they are coming, the ***** minister wants to pretend as if he is not interfering…, look at it, tail between the legs bcos he/it knows there is no IDIOCY that can be entertained by FIFA, a football body of rules. Look at it, UKO, with…
FIFA said the barring of that thief called Galusha Bwanya was correct, so what else is there to talk about? If Galusha Bwanya is allowed to contest, FIFA will ban Zambia and you will be out, one time!
Iwe editor stop slaughtering our names. Bwalwa is what Lungu likes. The luapula or Northern province name is Bwalya
what ever meeting they want, Kalu is not standing in their elective general meeting! He can be appointed minister of sport number 2 if thy so wish. . . . .
I dont have a problem with Kamanga but Kalu i dont like him, Kalu is not a good manager whatever history he made thus gone already lets move forward there are pipo who are good managers and Kamanga is one of them, i like the way he has clean up the football house he need our suport and been surrounded by good football managers look they are two things here:
1.kamanga is good with managing money not football
2.the vice president at faz need to be good football manager to suport kamanga
As a matter of interest….one of the cases against slep blatter has been dropped. The one of selling football rights in the Caribbean below market value.
The other case stands….of bribing platine..
If it was in accountancy we could Kalu is blacklisted. He can no longer practice accountance on earth maybe in Pluto. He needs to go for another training like bricklaying or carpentry to work again. This is where again it becomes important to have a profession. Check players like Mata, Kompany etc they play professional football while studying for professional programs. Our brother player football at PSV and in Mexico including the Emirates, one of the richest places on earth. Where did he take the money or why didnt he pursue academic studies. He thinks he can only survive in football. He did his part and let others do theirs. Soccer does not start and end with him. We have moved
From the tone of most people sending there comments on this fora, I can tell Kamanga has paid a lot of People to support his failure. To start with, Kalu is the former President and he is not running football. So if Kamanga is a good administrator, why he is failing to take National Team to Africa Cup Nations. Lets forget discussing Kalusha Bwalya here and discus this guy Kamanga who has failed the nation twice. What more do u expect from him? the guy who has failed and the best way is to look else where for a good replacement than following what his bakandile are saying
