Interim Faz president Andrew Kamanga has said from Zurich that his executive is legally mandated to remain in power until the March 2011 annual general meeting.
Kamanga said in a telephone interview from Zurich after the tripartite meeting at Fifa headquarters that the meeting was fruitful and denied any claims that his administration was not recognized by the games world governing body at the meeting.
The meeting in Zurich was chaired by Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke while Caf was represented by Sudan Football Association general secretary Magdi Shams-Eldin.
Kamanga said Fifa had said Faz must on its agenda for next March’s annual general meeting hold executive committee elections under the hospices of Fifa and Caf.
“The interim executive committee will continue in office,” Kamanga said. “It is a moral victory which was decided upon by the majority (At the November 26 ECM).”
Meanwhile, sources familiar with the development at Monday’s meeting have also said Fifa has directed embattled Faz president Kalusha Bwalya to hold early elections.
However, Fifa added that the Faz constitution was silent over some cardinal matters including the co-opting of committee members in instances of mass resignation from its executive members.
“Jerome Valcke the Fifa secretary general chaired the meeting where both sides parties presented their cases,” the source said.
“Fifa acknowledged that the Kamanga team was duly elected by two thirds majority. The challenge was that the Faz constitution is silent on a lot of issues regarding Kalu’s co-opting new Exco members and as such it was assumed that Kalu did this in good faith and should stand.
“Both parties agreed to resolve this by cutting Kalu’s tenure and holding early elections which Fifa and Caf will observe.
“Fifa promised to recognize whoever emerges winner in March. National Sports council of Zambia and Government have been instructed to mediate on the local issues i.e. the conclusion of the league.
“Kalu has been cautioned on entering into agreements on behalf of the association as the remainder of his tenure is for administrative convenience only.”
The two parties are too proud. I strongly urge them to be humble and stop using our resources for petty issues
Kamanga please swallow your stupid pride and just shout your stink hole up,i have the power my foot all is nicely said on FIFA.COM..Eyes on the ball till”2012
This really laughable. Kamanga must be very shallow to think people cannot read. Who does he want us believe, him (Kamanga) or FIFA? Ba Kamanga, the verdict is in black and white on FIFA website.
Ubukopo. Kamanga can you read?
From the information Kamanga exceutive has scored ..FIFA is just saving face. Fifa now know Kalu is an empty shell who is likely to be kicked out once elections are held..
Now what are we going to get from this Zurich meeting? This one says this, and other guys say this, who is telling the truth? what was really said from the meeting? bena Faz issue yachupa lukoso-
this idoit is a lier, never vote for him, he is probably going to put zambian football into a mess. can someone please tell me where this person (kamanga) emerged from? i hear he is a business man but how did he find himself in faz, is it because business yangwa?
This statement to me sounds fair and mature, compared to that released by Kalusha’s FAZ. These guys are not claiming victory, they are just reporting that they are now formally recognised awaiting elections. Also they acknowledge that Kalusha is now in the office for the time being up to elections. Kalusha continues to play politics, releasing press releases that demean Kamanga’s group. This is the problem of putting uneducated i.d.i.o.t.s into power – like Kalusha. We had the same experience master-dribbler FJT Chiluba as president of Zambia. That is why some of us insisted on Presidential qualifications being a degree. Because chaps without degrees keep putting the country at risk by voting i.d.i.o.t.s into power. The tragedy is that chaps without degrees are the majority in Zambia!!
FIFA have not said Kamanga led-committee is null either. All they have set is a stage for next years ECM where they will oversee it with CAF. At the minute Galu continues but no executive powers on the man.
# 8, at first should have agreed with you, but when you just mentioned degrees, i do not agree with you, Chiluba has a degree, RB has a degree, but things are not going on well thou-so i do not think degrees here can be used- maybe am wrong-
Meeting on the Football Association of Zambia(FIFA.com) Monday 20 December 2010 Print Email my friend Share
A meeting on the situation of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has taken place today, 20 December 2010, at the Home of FIFA in Zurich.
The meeting was chaired by FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke, and Confederation of African Football (CAF) representative Magdi Shams el Din, and included Zambian Minister of Sport Kenneth Chipungu, chairman of National Sports Council of Zambia Chifumu Banda, FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya, FAZ general secretary George Kasengele, FAZ legal expert Antony Kasolo, and representatives of the opposition to the current FAZ Executive Committee, Andrew Kamanga and Simataa Simataa.
During the meeting, it…
During the meeting, it was confirmed that Kalusha Bwalya is the legitimate FAZ president. In the event that some FAZ members want to table a motion of non-confidence against him and his Executive Committee, such a motion would have to be presented at the next general council scheduled on March 2011, following the proper procedures established in the FAZ statutes. As such, if FAZ members would like to lodge such a request for inclusion on the agenda of a council meeting, it shall notify the FAZ general secretary at least 21 days before the date of the meeting. This notification can be copied to FIFA and CAF, which in turn will make sure that it is properly addressed by the FAZ general secretariat.
FIFA and CAF will continue to monitor closely the Zambian situation and they will send rep
Well done Kamanga for managing to convince those dumheads at fifa.Nizee
@chile: why the **** are you repeating the same news? whats you point? its time for comments not rephrasing shiit..
those are not supposed to be stars, its this words fack. bt with a U
#8 to hell with your degrees which you obtain with leakages. your degree in whatever is not the matter here, be objective you are the chaps taking the country down. Show us that your degrees are worthy by contributing to national issues positively not waffling like you have mouth disease .
So its clear FIFA recognises ba Kamanga & ba Simaata to the extent that they cut short kalusa walya’s term of office from 2012 to march 2011.And they say FIFA & CAF will monitor the votes so kalusa cant rig & no kaponya will be allowed entry like in the Nov 27 ECM. Yazanda kuli kalusa coz who will vote 4 him? I guess he shut start packing coz March 2011 is very near!!!!!!
I urge you all to read the news bulletin on this on the FIFA website. Fifa has categorically recognized only Kalusha admnistratiom but yes they proposed an AGM in March and that if anyone wants to bring up motion to have a vote of confidence in the Kalusha led admin they should indicate so 21 days prior to the AGM.
I do not see where the Kamanga group has failed. Going by what they have been saying,elections were suppossed to be held in 90 days and that is waht FIFA has affirmed. I very much agree with some bloggers who are advocating for degree holders to be at the helm of FAZ. This Galu chap wants to take us for a ride. If he didn’t make his money on the pitch, let him find something else to do instead of trying to live off FAZ.
# 16, what degree does Chiluba has? What time did he have to study for it? Do you even know who wrote his thesis? RB got his degree in 60s which is maybe equivalent to a crafts certificate now.
# 20 am in agreement with you but read what what # 8 has wrote
the only statement i will believe is the one from the sports minister and NSCZ president chifumu banda
Imwe, the statement on the FIFA website is in black & white.No need to hear from Kalu or Kamanga or whoever on outcome of meeting. Read for yourself and see who the liar is.
# 5 suntwe # 8 Jackal hate the game not the player, take your degrees to LAZ, EAZ, EIZ, BBZ, not football. Continue crying and claiming victories at the same time. Your degree in Library studies obtained using crooks law does not feed all Zambians. Football is for them guys. Lets go to march 2011 you will cry and claim victory again.
LAZ for Lawyers, EIZ for engineers, Medical Council for Medical Practitioners, MISA for JOURNALISTS, ZPPA for Procurers, MMD, UPND PF PACT for politicians. It goes without saying that all jackals and Hyenas with your degrees leave football to footballers. Dont form useless teams like Amakumbi to eat what does not rightfully belong to you. Let all former players jostle AND FIGHT among themselves for FAZ positioins. The rest go and find something to do. Too much confusion no wonder you are not improving the living standards of our people with all your degrees just stealing.
Can someone pliz provide me with the link for the verdict. I have read from the above posting that its on FIFA but cannot find the article.
FIFA.COM has the info contrary to what Kamanga’s assertions
thats y we do not develop as a country,because pipo jst ague from without and want to politicize everything. degree for wat? please go to FIFA.COM website and read statement released by FIFA and not by kalu or Kamanga. dont even wait for the so called minister….of running and kicking
Let now NSCZ concentrate on Hockey, Cricket, Pool e.t.c too much interference in football.
MARCH 2011, EYES ON THE BALL AGAIN. Tamanga and Shimata you are small boys. Only known in Lusaka by your sponsors who paid for ZNBC coverage of you comedy at INTERZ.
If the FIFA wbsite has the story right, then both Kamanga and Shimata are twisting the facts in their favor. The meeting, which was chaired by FIFA president himself (not the general secretary as reported here) recognised the Kalu led FAZ, though they also gave a green light on the possibility of holding elections at the AGM nxt year. In this computerised world, please folks we dont need to wait for a statement from Chipungu, no. In fact here in the developed world, the internet is the major source of info.
#8 I’m with u on the degree requirement. All things equal, a degree holder would perform much beter that a non degr holder.
#16; as far as i kno, there no leakages in unversity. exams are prepared, adminsterd and marked by the lecture concerned, so it wud be easy to trace the…
#26 wilatusebanya, what makes you fail to find the article? anyhow go to fifa.com/associations/zambia.
guys Kalusha is not wanted if he has morals he wud hv resigned way bk,bt wait for 2011 march elections to come en see if Kalusha will win the elections!!! to be honest with u guys he will loose the elections terribly watch this count down nayamba
# 7. Kamanga is a well respected business and energy consultant. And his firm is not even doing poorly. A rich man by Zambian standards and very comfortable by developed country standards. I, like you do not understand how he has found himself in FAZ. Personally I think it is a big mistake especially that he is seen to be on the same side with characters such as Simataa who have failed time again to run FAZ.
Lets break the rules, Let all citizens participate, in voting even here in Chipata Chiengi, Kawambwa, Chama, Shangombo, Kaputa Sinazongwe so that Shimata realises no one knows him while the friend is a darling of many poor Zambians even poor and illiterate whose only share of the national cake is when the national team wins a game not just the Degree holders who cant develop our country just stealing.
what power is Kamanga talking about?FIFA.com has an ooficial statement that KALU is the legitimate president of FAZ.This simply means that there is only one FAZ which is led by KALU.The lesson learnt here is that no matter what your cause is,rules must be followed.So,what going to happen to the case of Simataa wanting to withdraw cash from FB?
#34 uli na nzeru weo. Uka wele ku Ncwala mu Febuluwale ngati ukapeze nthawi. Kamanga doesnt look like a spoilt Brat, he has just found himself being used by selfish elements. Legimate and uncontriversial elections he can be a good candidate. Pepani BAABA mngoni.
I doubt if Simataa or Kamanga for that matter have any grey matter. Where in the world do you unseat the leadership of an organization by collecting two thirds of its members’ signatures and holding a meeting without its blessings? If the FAZ constitution is like this then it is faulty. Some people advised the splinter group to attend the FAZ meeting where they could have introduced a vote of no confidence in the FAZ leadership but this advice was not heeded. This is what will now happen next year. Yes the internet has changed the world. What with the coming of Wikileaks. In my days information was hidden from the public and offensive articles were just swept off the newsstands
Cheers engineer tell them
LT please withdraw this story in shame. I told you before never to compete with ZWD. Those guys are journalists and you are computer graphic artists. They are too far ahead of you. Even the post is having problems with the competition they are giving them. So please, refrain from competing with them to avoid losing the little credibility you have.
LT get the facts from Fifa.Com. Do not get info. from So Called reliable sources.Retract this story and just copy what is on fifa.com. the meeting according to FIFA.COM indicates that the meeting was chaired by the FIFA president while your article according to Kamanga and simataa, the meeting they held was chaired by the FIFA General Secretary. LT are you telling us the Truth?
LT where the hell did you get your story from. Don,t get it from Kamanga. It is there for you to see on fifa.com
FIFA.com report on “Meeting on the football association of Zambia” is pathetic and do not take it as pointing to all that was discussed. One question for the writer of this fifa report and bloggers, – How is it that Three people can chair one and the same meeting? Quote “The meeting was chaired by fifa president joseph s. blatter, fifa secretary general jerome valckle, and confederation of African Football (CAF) Representative Magdi Shams el Din,)
The Fifa.Com has said it all! Kalusha is FAZ president! I expect the Minister to re affirm that position & request the Kamanga group to take back stage.
In an event a motion is moved to pass a vote of no confidence during the next AGM in March or April, 2011, what does the FAZ constitution say on how many councillors are supposed to vote in its favour for the current executive to considered dissolved?
I think it is important to understand this becoz some bloggers think it is automatic that there will be elections next year for FAZ Executive members.The councillors Must first successfully pass the vote of no confidence by attaining the required votes to dissolve the current executive before elections take off.
LT is biased. They are filtering out anti Kamanga posts. I have tried to post several times but everything is being blocked until I just changed by IP, name and email

Ba simataa simataa mwanya amafi .kamanga also seems to be a follower of simataa .its in black and white .kalu is the boss .ha ha ha.go kalu go .wina azalila .
Kamanga is simply a big *****. How can he make such claims that he has power when the official statement from FIFA is no where near such claims? Shame on LT too for posting a misleading story. Retract this story please.
FIFA.com has everything we need to know about the meeting it is suprising that some people prefer other sources like govt rep.Tamanga boys have been diplomatically told to go to hell and it is good that they are eagerly waitng for the trip.haaa haaa haaaa!!!
I think Kamanga has scored. as for FIFA what else can they do than play it safe to protect its face incase things turn against them so explains their stance after the meeting.Elections brought forward to barely 3 months and you say kalu has not lost???
The FAZ TAMANGA got what they deserved. Come March/April Kalu will march on. IF Kamanga feels he has power why did Airtel go to Kalu´s FAZ for the sponsorship deal. This shows that business entities don´t recognise the Tamanga boys FAZ.
It is very clear now that the Tamanga boys have misled everyone and messed with our game this season because the outcome of the FIFA meeting was clear for any clear thinking person- it has changed anything.FOOLS TRY – WISEMEN FAIL!!!!
You pipo you are fun with your comments. This matter is beyond hero-worship of great Kalu; and I accept he is great but for Gods sake FIFA has compromised its earlier stance: if Kalu did the right thing why then bring forward elections to as early as match??? thats the big question.
zwa!
Ha ha ha .GREAT KALU ,ninshimbi .ba simataa simataa balenyafe amafi
Atase ba ICEBERG naimwe. this is not about kamanga but zed footaball we have scored. What do you say about FIFA’s bow to early election.
#53 The April AGM is constitutional and it is not from FIFA dont get confused and that is what Kalu has been telling the Tamanga boys all along But they were blinded by hatred and Jealousy.These spoiled Brats can’t get anything right. So for both parties it is neither a victory nor loss it is constitutional. So in a nut shell the trip to zurich was just successful in educating the Tamanga boys about the FAZ constitution PERIOD. Otherwise it was just a sheer waste of time and resources.The Tamanga boys are really costing us.
# 60 But dont you think FIFA earlier position is compromised or let me say toned down. I think at the end of the day or even now kalu cant be as firm as he was before the zurich meeting. this is in no way siding with kamanga but for sure someone somewhere at fifa or faz placed the wrong button from the onset of this problem. I have reason to believe fifa listened to the story of hte kamanga team.
FIFA dot com newsid=1354737. The story is clean and clear.
Dont forget people that Galu went to Zurich way before the others and is well connected with those guys. So the fact that fifa is even talkinig about possibilities of elections in much is a plus to the kamanga camp. Fifa is trying to do away with Galu without descrediding too much…. As for administrators to be degree holders, I think am in support
iwe# 8 you are very foolish who tod you that degree is very thing? KALU is the man, just wait for next year sothat you can put yo so called MAATA or SIMATAA whatever you call it! dont mislead peace loving zambians
#59 If you read through the info on Monday’s meeting posted on Fifa.Com, there is a process that must lead to elections. Fifa didn’t say there will be elections neither did they call for the AGM next year. The AGM has been on FAZ calendar all along.
What need to be understood & understood well is that the Kamanga group has now a challenge to raise numbers among councilors who should support their motion to pass a vote of no confidence in the Kalusha executive that is if they decide to move that motion at the AGM. Failure to successfully move this motion will not lead to elections.
On the other hand, Kalusha’s camp has also a challenge to diffuse the motion from taking off. I foresee some club officials been suspended on disciplinary charges as a way of diffusing the motion.
Amazing..the things that happen in Zed never are totally Amazing! What LT is reporting is not original at all. Why didn’t they get minutes from the secretary of the meeting;this speculative reporting shows how the LT agenda is being pushed,a typical anti-establishment agenda.The likes of SS and AK are just power hungry. What new things are they going to bring in Football administration? Both of them do not sound like visionaries that are going to make a positive change to the football landscape in this country. Why didn’t they just wait until the next round of elections so that their campaigns have meaning. Now they are just disgruntled bunch of mudslinging political hooligans, who just “want it my way” Shame on you SS and AK and the LT reporter for being so opinionated in a silly…
AT FIRST I HAD SOME BENEFITS OF DOUBT ON KALUSHA – I HAVE NOW COME TO BELIEVE THAT KAMANGA AND HIS FRIEND SIMATAA ARE CROOKS, I HAVE JUST BEEN READING ON THE FIFA WEBSITE. I AM SUPRISED OVER HIS CLAIMS THAT HE HIS ASSOCIATION IS LEGITIMATE
USELESS JACKAL – IF YOU FEEL FOOTBALL ARE FOR DEGREE HOLDERS LET THEM FORM THERE ON LEAGUE AND SEE IF YOU WILL HAVE PEOPLE WATCHING YOU
THIS WAS EXPECTED. There is a clear way of dealing with problems and not the power hungry way of Simataa and his Tamanga boys way.
Please, grow up boys, the nation is bigger that your ego. Sort out the problems in FAZ in a proper way. GROW UP!
this ***** kalu is just a CREEP. let march . he will be lamenting
Ba LT this story is really biased it does not really reflect what is posted on the FIFA website which has recognized kalu as faz boss untill 2012 though the Kamanga crew can only pass a motion of no confidence at the next agm, and i serious doubt they will have the support to dislodge Kalu and his group from office. So simaata and crew should stop masquerading as faz committee FULL STOP.
LT can please retract these falsehoods!! This is utter rubbish and should not be entertained by any right thinking Zambian who has read what is on FIFA website.
kwena ba LT mwalipwalala…instead of reporting back on the outcome of the meeting, you are basing your reporting on he says-she says. Grow up LT and start providing mature reporting instead of wasting our time….ive read the outcome of the meeting on the FIFA website.
Imwe mwe bantu, what LT & the rest are reporting is totally different from the meetings resolutions which we all can read on fifa.com..now u know who is twisting stories..Simataa’s trip back home will be his longest in his life time..& galu is having the last laugh…
But what is Kalu going to do if he loses the FAZ Presidency? He doesn’t know how to ‘kaponya; his trade! All his contemporaries have state of the art football academies (including Lucky- now national Coach), Charles Musonda (with 2 boys to play for the national team). Perhaps Kalu’s girls could play netball and Kalu could take over there (surely no competition!) as National Netball Association President (my daughter will vote for him)! My advice to Kamanga and Simata is wait for your turn (its only 3 months or 4 months- at the most!) By then the new PF government will be campaigning in full mode!
Fifa.com Great Kalu Presido and pipo please they will be no elections come march.
theres nothing like interim FAZ President FIFA.com has said it Ba Kamanga wait for 2011 March…. Ala u dont read english…..
:((
KAMANGA AND SIMATA A CONFUSING ZAMBIAN FOOTBALL…..
LT can you also balance your report by including wat was discused in Zurich together with wat Kamanga is saying then we can know wat is hapenning. NOT this nonsense you a reporting…. Ati we are reporters be serous!
Imwe bantu shuwaa!!! Come march fifa has told its beloved “son” Kalu that there will be no problem. Between now and march kalu is going to receive a lot of boost from big daddy fifa in form of danations to all those clubs that were against him and you will see what will happen at the AGM. Vote of no confidence will not go through.
Why is Kamanga misleading innocent people that he has power maybe power thru his arss hole because the FIFA statement is loud and clear that Only the Kalusha Bwalya group is legally in charge until at a time when elections are held.
I urge all Kalu supporters to go out there and campaign for Kalu so that when elections come Kamanga and Simataa should be thrown in the pit of hell for creating unnecessary confusion to the game of football.
If these Tamanga boys can try to fool Zambians on a clear issue such as this one can u imaging how much crap the so called two-thirds 2/3 have been fed with to stiffle their thinking?!!!! That was the Main reason they couldn’t allow their supporters to attend the legal ECM – just to keep them away from the truth.Gullible as most soccer administrators are they even abandoned the league and endorsed anarchy and gullibility.SHAME!!! The only thing i like about the Tamanga boys is their ability confuse even the so called elite and educated-they just shut their brains down.They just have to work on the length of the period of shuting down the delegates’ brains then FAZ will be theirs for keeps!!!!
:d
#61 FIFA is civilise institution they just repeated what the FAZ constitution says but in a diplomatic way.Kalu will not change because this has been his position all along.I n shot the Tamanga boys have been told to go to HEELLL in a very polite way that the boys are now eagerly waiting for the trip. PERIOD. NO CHEAP POLITICS WITH FIFA MY FRIEND. These guys in effect were just observers for nyama soya.Honestly the Zurich issues could have been sorted out on the 27 Nov at less cost but off course we are Zambians what do u expect? The involvement of the President in clearly embarrasing especially that nothing has changed.
Its sad because of Kamanga and Simata now we are going to have one of the big teams playing in division one. The AGM is in March and the Zambian league starts end of January 2011. I wish our leaders could explain stuff properly to the people of Zambia. Let us always try to follow proper channels.
I believe we have learnt something from this because we have allow just a few people to comment on serious issues. Most of us do not even know what is in the FAZ constitution? Can FAZ avail it to us.
Most information is from the media and people make decisions based on the what they have read
UBUTUTU MU ZAMBIA – YOU MEAN PEOPLE HAVE FAILED TO UNDERSTAND THAT SIMPLE LANGUAGE ON FIFA WEBSITE. DO WE NEED LAWYERS TO INTERPRETE FIFA STATEMENT. I PERSONALLY I HAVENT SEEN ANY JARGON LANGUAGE. IT IS SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT FORWARD. ZAMBIA TWASEBANA. ABAMA DEGREE EBALEFILWA UKUCITA UNDERSTAND SIMPLE LANGUAGE?
kalu saw this coming but his pride killed the game and his chances of being in CAF..hehehehehe..Simataa must be a happy man..
People, FIFA has told the Kamanga team (as Faz ordinary members) to present their grievances to the FAZ SG to present to the 2011 AGM, which is not an election meeting. It is as simple as that, which part of english are people not understanding.
It seems the Kamanga/Simaata team are daft, the way they are going about with this issue.
“Interim Faz president Andrew Kamanga has said from Zurich that his executive is legally mandated to remain in power until the March 2011 annual general meeting.”
How, if I may ask you Mr Kamanga? You mean that there are now two FAZs? But sir, we have now read for ourselves the statement from Zurich, as clear as mineral water. Uluse kuli ba Kamanga, how to swallow their pride!
Now those who want power can start all over again, but this time they must follow procedure. Learning the hard way, ka!
It is clear, FAZ opposition party can have a base somewhere else but not a Fiootball house where Kalusha and his clean friends are working. The opposition party of Simataa are welcome to continue campaigning until March. It is clear, why are you condemning Kamanga you people, let him waste his money and time.
Imwe Ba Mambala……..Kamamnga you i.d.i.o.t, you think we cannot read? FIFA said something very different on their website, if in the meeting Kalusha was the legitimate one FIFA recognised then were do you get the balls to say FIFA recognised you?
YOU RETARDED BOZOS CAN GET ON THE FIFA WEBSITE AND FIND OUT THE TRUTH. FIFA HAS RECOGNISED THE KALU EXECUTIVE AND NOT THE KAMANGA ONE. FIFA HAS ALSO SUGGESTED THAT THE SIMATAA BOZOS CAN (CAN, NOT SHOULD) INCLUDE A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE (NOT EXECUTIVE ELECTIONS) ON NEXT YEAR’S COUNCIL MEETING (NOT AGM). WISE UP YOU ^&*%S
The situation is not helped by DUMB reporting. Ba LT why r u identifying Kamanga as Interim President when the organisation has a legitimate President? This jus displays a failure to interpret event so wh@ kind of journalists r u? Can Sata be identifiied as interim President when he just opposition President? No! so why r u deliberately failing to recognise th@ Kamanga is opposing FAZ’s current leadership? Is ur aim to sow seeds of confusion rather than give us a clear picture of the scenario? Take your journalists to school!
LT seems to be pro the rebel FAZ. First their reporting is flawed. There is only one FAZ president and not those fools tryin to pretend as FaZ thru briefcase scenario. Come AGM and possible elections.. I pray that Kamanga stands against Kalu if need be for early elections. Even when they lose, they will stil cry foul. Fools!
The statement released by FIFA had not mentioned anything about elections
Fellow bloggers was the trip to Zurich necessary? Surely are we not able to reason and solve our own problens instead of wasting tax payers money? Why didn’t the FAZ opposition wait for the AGM? Why has Simata and Kamanga’s desperation for power blinded their reasoning? The FAZ circus is like we don’ have mature people to help resolve issues. I am baffled. Government should have played a mediatory role. Why do we have the National Sports Council anyway?
Chacine ba LT stop colouring stories with your own biases. Don’t you have a press code? Andrew Kamanga is President of Zambia’s rebel football Association or President of the Anti-Kalusha faction or leader of a faction opposed to Kalusha or FAZ aspiring President you have so many objective choices about what to call him. But he is not FAZ interim President because FAZ already has a President.
Observer#98. If government had played any role FIFA would have deemed this interference and sanctions or banning would have followed; thats what their statutes say. Shibata Shibata and Kamanga are driven by their need to show Kalusha that he should not think he is anything just because he was a great footballer. This usually happens to people when they get closer to any person-Ichibeleshi. But Kalusha should also watch for the “Iam bigger than all of you syndrome which can affect those who have achieved what others haven’t.Take comfort in the knowledge that the trip was paid for by FIFA except for Kamanga’s team who had to pay on their own
Yangu Ba LT Ubufi fye bweka bweka! Why twist facts like this? You are obviously in the Kamanga camp and want to console yourselves. Elyo mukaye nakusukulu!
“Kamanga said Fifa had said Faz must on its agenda for next March’s annual general meeting hold executive committee elections under the hospices of Fifa and Caf.” What are hospices? You mean they will meet in the old people’s homes in Mufulira’s Chibolya township or something?
Its true LT you must just come out in the open and tell us you are propagandists like The Post and not journalists. This story is very misinforming and misleading. Its meant to serve Kamanga’s interests and down play Kalusha’s endorsement by FIFA
The writing is on the wall,Zambian football is headed for DOOM!
