Zanaco and Green Buffaloes league meeting at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka yesterday signified a shift of Kalusha Bwalya’s hold on power.
The replayed week 19 game set off the mass boycott on November 3 of Super Division clubs in support of the Faz emergency council meeting called by a majority of league teams against the Kalusha-led executive.
Faz later deducted 3 points from both teams for failing to fulfill the fixture but the Andrew Kamanga-led executive announced last week again that the league would resume starting with that match that was rescheduled from December 1 to the 7th for further consultations.
Wednesdays match was played in defiance to an announcement on Wednesday by the Kalusha-faction that the league was over and any team playing the announced last two rounds of matches faces severe action from Faz for playing illegal games.
Zanaco won the game 1-0 through a Mathew Macha goal in the 72nd minute that was played on a waterlogged pitch following a consistent two-day downpour in Lusaka.
The game was played with the full backing of the Referees Association of Zambia whose president Welly Chikuka who is part of the Kamanga executive committee.
On Friday, Zanaco face Red Arrows in a week 21 game as the Zambia Premier League.
All eyes will be on Saturday when all eight week 29 matches are scheduled to be played and sanctioned by the Kamanga-led executive.
Its DEFIANCE-plse not what u ve above.Plse correct b-4 many laugh at u!!!!
yazanda kalu
Thats the way to go. Kalu nausebana zoona. What kind of leader are u without followers? Its clear teams recognise Kamanga as FAZ president!! so why force yoself on pipo?
All those in support of kamanga and simataa mulifipuba bonse tamwakwata amona
Bakulateya beka. We will see who will give them the prizemoney. The money is in Kalusha Bwalya’s name in the bank
Soccer is everyone’s cup of tea. But, it has become a disease which one needs to dose with a drug overdose. please we need to address the problem of soccer in the country from its basics. it is not kalusha or kamanga group that will sort out the problem.because they busy trying to crucify each other while saving their interest. Please, we want to see football developing in this country.
#4 – the truth is bare and those who refuse to accept it soon it will catch up with you. so mune use your brains wisely ai or else keep it shut.
They can play for fun and to keep themselves fit, what is the problem with that?
# 4 ulichipuba sana ******we tawakwata amona
all those in support of kamanga and simataa namichindika amano yalichepako.
THAT IS THE WAY TO TELL KALU THAT HIS DAYS ARE COMING TO AN END OR SHOULD SAY , YOU NEED TO COME TO REALITY.:d
The Zambian league closed last month and FAZ has already submitted a list of teams that will represent Zambia in continental games. These games that are played now are not official and a shheer waste of time-may for training purposes.
Agreed with annoyed (12)
Still dont understand how the initial boycot helped matters….they could have played the games and STILL have their meeting on 26th November…Now they have ended up in quite an embarassing and awkward situation.. I dont think the teams who turned up for those games will agree to travel again..then what ?? .
Ba Kalu just accept the reality. In the history of Zambian football you have prooved to be the worst administrator.

We need answers
hy has the footall standards gone down
Kalu is overrated
