  2. Great Kalu…eyes on the pirze. He is still scoring free kicks bamakaka! Wele 3-0 to Kalu. Ati Simata Simata!!! Who knows you???? International connections not just Zed…Next is JK going places through One8 project.

  7. Haters are chocking with hatred!! I can Iamagine that boy Augustine Mukoka of the Post is feeling.Sazagona lelo nachikushi na nsoni mixed!!

  8. Sometimes one wonders just why Zambians are endowed with such an immense wealth of “ukushishita”. So these chaps supporting Mr Bwalya really think that he has a single drop of care for this country? He did all this for no other than himself and used FAZ to achieve all this and in his quest, he would not have given a damn if FIFA fired Zambia because of his maladministration. Besides, who told these fools that Kamanga and Simata want to be on CAF? Reading about the responsibilities above, I wonder just how and where he will be making money without a foot in FAZ. Great Galu is doomed.

  11. @Ngombala Muhapi wa Linaha:

    So Kalusha won’t be making money at CAF, ya? So where is the greed that you people have been accusing him of all this time he has been FAZ president?! Oh, Kalu is only doing this or that at FAZ for his selfish “MONEY MAKING” motives, blah, blah, blah!!! Now he is moving on to CAF on purely “non-financial” reasons, so where is the greed in that?! Just wondering!!!!!!!

  12. I don’t support Kalu neither Kamanga nor Simataa, Zambians need to stop hero worshipping and being endowed with inferiority complexes. None at Faz for the last 30 years has grown the sport period. Congratulations go to mr. Kalusha Bwalya though.

  14. A job in cairo ?, they were not checking CVs for merits due to the turmoil. Kalu is a failed administrator. Faz in now embrolied in the worst infighting in its history. Under him no one knew whos job it was to organise visas. The team coach did not know who he was playing. Zambia played the most embarassingly disorganised friedlies in the history of our national eam., against Ghana in london, when the whole of FAZ seemed to be at his wedding leaving the team without even lunch money. I think they based their desision on seeing him on SA Tv, not his manegment record which is abismal.

  15. #14,kc; these failings you have so eloquently alluded to are attributable to operational ( individual or systems) planning failures and not to strategic planning failings. to my knowledge, kalu being the president of the organization the guy who works the strategic arm. he may come down the operational arm to fire one or two i.diots who are not performing,,,,,, and besides whats to stop these same characters from intentionally bungling projects knowing the man at the top will get the flak from logic challenged individuals such as you know who. what happening here is the caf people are able to see through pettiness, are able to identify a gem when they see one go for it. meantime you remain wallowing in your pettiness and hatred. to all you fellow diasporans, this is just a friendly warnin

  16. warning, have a strategic long term plan if you are going to go back and join a government/ public service institution; fiscal discipline and work to rule culture is not tolerated in zed

  17. # 15 chilombo
    In all sucsessfull companies and organisations the world over, the buck stops at the top mans door. As president of FAZ, he should have at least known things like there was massive infighting at all levels of Faz. The man was oblivous to the state of the organisation he was heading and you call him a gem ? maybe at commenting on Tv.

  18. Well done Great Kalu. Let us compare cvs and see who is a better man to lead FAZ.
    KAMANGA Accountant, Chairperson Kabwe worriors
    SIMAATA- Accountant, former finace bank(fired) man, former faz president(resigned), Propriator amakumbi stars, former under 17 national team.
    KALUSHA BWALYA- Cosafa under 20, East and central senior challenge cup, Top striker 1986, SO many cups and leageues with might mufulira wonderers, 1998 africa footballer of the year, Silverware 1994 AFCON, Bronze ware 1996, so many silver and Goldwares with circle brudge, PSV Endo and in Mexico. Played alongside Brazil legends Romario and Ronaldo. Former Tech. Director FAZ, Former Zam National Coach and now the current, reigning, defending FAZ chairperson and CAF COSAFA executive member. WHO HAS THE BEST. GREAT KALU

  19. I am happy for you Kalu, and I wish you the best of luck in your new appointment. I like your resilience and you are one of those who are determined to do the best to achieve what they want. CONGRATULATIONS and continue with your hard work.

  20. @ KC. Under Kalu’s management, FAZ recorded a budget surplus in billions of kwacha. Faz has all the financial muscle to strategise and fulfill their mandate. I am sure u understand the balanced score carding system. What is the most important perspective in rating the success of an organisation? This FAZ executive is less corrupt by any standards in Zed. Stop hating ba koswe!!!

  22. KALUSHA TAKING IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL WE RESPECT U MAN CONGTRATS …SHAME ON THOSE FOOLS THE MATAKO MATAKO SIMATAA …LIKE DANNY SAID KALU WILL BE GONE AND WE WILL START MISSING HIM KEEP IT UP

  25. We congratulate him but he should leave FAZ to people who are capable of taking Zambia to a higher hight. Zambian National team is no longer a team to reckon with in Africa. The budget surplus is rubish if we can’t perform.

  28. This son of the soil great Kalu needs a heroes welcome at the International Airport when he lands. Is anyone organising such a thing?

  29. Mukalanda mukanaka but lyonse, fikalabafye ififine, apatebeta lesa wandi, tapafuka ichushi……………………nice song Danny

  33. Somebody tell me: in the event that the cleaning of the mess at football house gets Kalusha Bwalya out of FAZ, what happenz to this CAF victory thing?

  37. Congrats Kalu and you deserve it. We know there’s a bunch of HATERS out there but you are keeping on your dreams and next will be FIFA President and when it will happen, alot of Zambians like SHREK CHI SIMATAA MATAKO and the PHD will be dying like animals in surprise. We all know every success is for your personal gain through hard work and discipline so all HATERS GO F.U.C.K YOURSELVES.

  38. Kalu this ,kalu that , find better things to do, the same Kalu wont even pay the same bills u wasting on line…. why do u…….eish,

  40. @33 The Only Living Jay,
    by virtue of him being on CAF he is required to resign from FAZ. read the CAF constitution it says he is not allowed to be part of football national executive as a CAF executive comittee member.

  41. “i thank the people who have supported me from Kamuchanga in Mufulira..” Kalu as quoted in todays Daily Mail. Even in victory Great Kalu remembered his roots. Eyes on FIFA now.

  42. CONGRATULATIONS KALUSHA. There have been attempts to destroy you and your record but you have stood firm. Whatever God wants you to have nobody can stop it. Please do not hate others for no reason at all. Kalusha was elected therefore, if you want to remove him wait for his term of office to end. What is Kamanga and Simataa going to say now? They doubted his chances of winning a seat on CAF but now he has done it. What a shame on Kamanga and Simataa! The problem is that some people think they know it all. Leave KALU alone. He is a Zambian and must enjoy his rights as anyone else. The Post is ashamed but as usual they will find a way of twisting the story so that somehow they descredit Kalu. It wont work. He is a CAF executive member and he won resoundingly. Isnt that beautiful!

  43. Thanx #40. Then it explanz why he had to win that CAF seat at all costs. Even one great Tom Mtine iz CAF life member, how doez this membership affect playerz of Kalukungu Football Club in Chiwempala, Chingola?

  44. # 40 please to your ignorance in the toilet! thats not what CAF consitition says.
    Read again stupid!
    Kalu uli lushimbi mudala. lets go to kitwe now and deal with these kwangalas called simata and kamaga.

  45. If kalu’s win in Sudan will translate in him relinguishing the FAZ Job. Then I say Good Riddance from FAZ and congrats to Kalu at the same time.

  46. lets head to Kitwe and see what this bafoon called Simataa Simataa has to say! He thinks he can get away with murder, Zambian we do not need PHD(Pull him Down) syndrome, this dog called Simataa need to be sorted out – asap! Shame on him!

  48. # 46, why are u calling this man a dog? did u hear that at Caf elections
    mind ur language, what Simata has achieved so far in his life u may not do that urself. This is a man wit a family u r calling a dog , what are u? Debate level headed than such crap……..The fact that u remain not known does not qualify u to use such language on a fellow person coz we can still tracy and bring u to book……i warn u

  49. and for Simataa, why alot of things in your head,you resigned from FAZ, it means you failed, so what is it you think you will now run FAZ with your minions, and who will trust what comes from your mouth?QUIT FOOTBALL YOURSELF and leave Kalu alone.

  51. agony is fighting someone to leave office and hecomes your boss. FAZ is an affiliate of CAF and FIFA. poor Kamanga & seamatter. you must be gnashing your teeth now. in life you should accept differences in class. Seamatter you fail to organise any meaning football business deal not even with Katumbi katoto. Go Kalu shame on them you are now their boss. if i were them i would keep quiet and shut the A*********************

  52. conglats great kalu i only hope u get to read these mails n c how many pipo love u as opposed to those wo dnt no matter wat u do. God greatly help u achieve yo goals :)>-

  53. please lets learn to give credit were it due.ba kalu ba kulu.no matter what u will try to do u shall ineed fail.I can’t see anything wrong with the current FAZ executive
    1. improving soccer standard= Zambia qualified to the quarters finals after 14 years.just few years in office. MERIT
    2.FAZ accounts showing a surplus of billions=DISTICTION
    3.quick player transfers which shall lead to more players going abroad and getting exponsure,is will lead to go performance=MERIT
    Let all use our brains and think,thats why we went to school.Simataa Simata after just resigning from FAZ he has never rested, is like a ghost hurting his friends.We all have done accounts but lets not take figures computations in the fields.Simata IS A KNOW IT ALL type of a person we have learnt in communication.go kalu

  57. UTATASHA MWANA WANDOSHI ABA BAFIKALA (Ngombala Muhapi wa Linaha, kc, bel the Patriot, Zambia One, Livingstone, Sitond, Sata Cant Win, Sitondo) WILL DIE SUFFERING USELESS HATERS…..BAFIKALA

  59. # 40, 43 and 45 . . . Read under ‘ COMPOSITION’ ” 4. Once a candidate is elected as the President of CAF, he can no longer hold office in his own national association for the duration of his term of office.”
    …………..to me this sounds that ONLY the President of CAF has to relinquish his national association post and not the other members…………….. this means KALU DOES NOT HAVE TO RESIGN FROM FAZ IF HE DOES NOT WANT TO ! ! He is only a committee member and not a President-elect of CAF. ! !

  60. Fyabupuba fye!
    It wont take long before he starts getting involved in tickets scandals-with his unsatiable appetite for money!!!!!!!!

  63. Mukalanda mukanaka but lyonse, fikalabafye ififine, apatebeta lesa wandi, tapafuka ichushi………KALU IS A LEGEND ….THE BEST SOUTHERN AFRICAN PLAYER EVER………CONGRATS MY BOY

  66. Congrats Kalu though you are a failure. If you take the same stance of admin. at CAF, they will chuck you out. As a father (President) you have failed to run your home (FAZ). It is unfortunate that mediocre fanatics keep hero worshipping you.

  68. In life you have to be ambitiuos for you to archieve your dreams. who doesnt want to be FAZ prsnted or CAf executive comit? guys lets be serous. Viva Kalu
