April 1, 2012 at 11:56 am
Like all other forms of zambian politics we have a case of a bunch of ignorants selecting an ignorant for the purpose of perpetuating ignorance.
If faz was a plc all the delegates and leaders would be fired! But alas, faz is a popular democracy. In a democracy the ***** with the loadest mouth and richest supporters wins.
So zambia won the africa cup. If we win it next year you can have my right testicle! How many real football clubs do we have here? Zero. Remnants of communist old farts in charge with snivelling sycophants as supporters. How many clubs run like a business, how many clubs are listed on the Luse? Zero.
Faz has about as much administrative, financial and operating talent as the Garden Sewerage ponds.
He only deserves an insult if thoz that dched him ddnt get back. Weuletukana eiwe wechipuba. Y ddnt u contest and beat him? Y d u want others to do a job for u? U chinje or else tawakulalala bwino
April 1, 2012 at 12:02 pm
He only deserves correction if he goes wrong not insults. Bsids,thoz that diched him hav gone back and he’s embraced them. He’s a real captain. If u ddnt want him,y ddnt u stand and compete. We chiwelewele ni webo. U chinje…….

It was known that the THIEVES would win back into FAZ. The change to come was from GRZ. Now Chi mbwili stands there and DOESNT TALK ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY, INCLUSIVENESS, MANAGEMENT, INVESTMENTS, AND BOVE ALL FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

You see. It is all Bembas. Who else mwashala tongas, lozis, easterners. We shall continue pulling you.Whereever, there is national control, it is ourselves the BaBemba.It will take years and years for any other tribal grouping to be more influential that us. You also love our language ka.
Great Kalu, congrats big bro.You did well to get rid of Mabisi Marcha Chilemena.

I havent finished. Immediately afta the Africa cup, FAZ paid each official K500 million! As if that wasnt enough, the officials were sent on a holiday to Mauritius for 2 weeks. Now dat the executive has come back, can they avail us financial statement particularly income & expenditure. FAZ is a quasi-govt institution no wonder they receive govt funding. We need books of accounts. There was alot of contributions during the Africa cup.

Anybody that wants to get into FAZ has got to do it through the ballot not ****** vote of no confidence. Go go KAlu eyes on the ball. Now the next step is world cup and strengthening of the lcal league and creation of a youth league.

Why is there so much hatred for Bembas in this country? As a bemba speaking person, i fear for my life. One day people like Tonga bull will organise his tribemates to start killing anyone that is bemba speaking. One thing is for sure; the more you hate us the more blessings we get. If you fail to compete on a national level, please stop blaming the bembas. Ask yourselves why you do not manage to compete on a national level. I know that if you are sincere enough, you will realise that it is because of yorselfishnes that you fail to appeal to people on a national level.

The great one won!Where has Kalu ever stolen money?this kalijo amongst us Zambians will never take us anywhere.For the first time issues of player allowances is no longer a factor as its being handled properly.And for those who want to bring in tribe,grow up,if you want to lead you take a risk and stand.If bembas are risk takers its no their fault.If you are cowards thats your baby.You will never rise by pulling down other people,just join in the success or competition.

those insulting are what they are calling their friends; they are more foolish than the people they insult. How can someone just insult like that? who is teaching them these insults? Education is lacking in most zambians including our political leaders and so insults are used when they fail to debate or analyse issues.

simaata simaata does not matter (sea matter). He has after all, proven to be a source of confusion and disunity, regardless of which FAZ executive, since time imemorial. This is even true at church – MCF at UCZ.

Congrats to Great Kalu. When you are doing things right God will always be on your side. For Munaile you needed to compete with love and not hurt. For UPND AND MMD Kalu defeated you when Kalu took on Rb last year before Elections. Kalu took a stance cos he never took RB S path. Go go kalu Go and put your eyes on the ball.
I will invite you in Mkushi to see the talent there.

Congratulations to Kalusha!! Kalusha has achieved the highest as a player. And He has achieved the highest as a soccer administrator. Under his leadership the Zambia U23 has won COSAFA three consecutive years, without government funding. Zambia’s Sports Man of the Century and 2010 FIFA World Cup Ambassador. African Footballer of the Year in 1988 by France Football Magazine and was voted 14th in the 1996 FIFA World Player of the Year Awards.The Supreme Council for Sport in Africa (SCSA) will honour Zambian soccer icon Kalusha Bwalya for his contribution to the sport both as a footballer and as an administrator. Kalusha will be the second soccer player to receive the award after Cameroon legend Roger Milla. Only shameless losers are against him. Shame on you…

April 1, 2012 at 5:38 pm
And of course under Kalusha’s leadership Zambia won the AFCON. Munaile is probably the most unwise man in Zambia. So, what next? Shame tefyo. Retire from football. What a shameless opportunist!
