Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili has castigated those against the naming of the new Lusaka stadium as ‘Disaster Stadium’ telling them;
“If you dont Want the Name, You Can Hang”‘You cant please everyone and those not happy will have to live with that. I am sorry but the story stands,” the Sports Minister disclosed and said this in the wake of fans (including FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya) rejecting the name of the new Lusaka Stadium.
Meanwhile, spokesperson for the families of the 30 heroes who perished off the coast of Gabon on April, 28, 1993, Joyce Chabala has thanked govt for the gesture.
”We are very happy and wish the President long life. Thank you very much.”
Hon. Kambwili said government consulted widely before naming the stadium and that the name which was approved by cabinet could not be changed by anyone.
”We cant say ‘Heroes National Stadium, heroes are too many, we need to specify that we are honouring the Gabon Victims Heroes. The most important thing is that we consulted widely and this name came out prominent.”

Someone please tell this Chisimba Kambwili
A guy called Mobutu Seseseko Wazabanga named Congo, Zaire and the majority of people thought it was rubbish and not a befitting name for this great nation but he insisted.
What is it called today?
Just wait……we will give the Staduim its proper name ultimately!

Honourable Kambwili please listen to the call of people who voted you into power. Zambia is a democratic country which need to be represented by the majority. if the majority say opposes to a bad suggestion, who are you to reject them.

Mr. Minister Sir… It was going to make sense if you had named it after ‘Godfrey Chitalu’ as UCUR ‘STADIUM(correct my spelling for UCUR). I am a Roan United supporter for life based in Lusaka too. What will happen if another disaster happens eg.in Zimbabwe another minister of sports will have to name it different. Let it remain Independence Stadium for Zambia and not name changed by you, SORRY.

ITS NOT ARROGANT BUT IMMORAL FOR THE MINISTER TO ARGUE THAT HE WIDELY CONSULTED BEFORE COMING UP WITH THE DISASTROUS NAME WHEN IN FACT HE DID NOT.JUST LIKE HE NEVER DID WHEN NAME OYDC SWIMMING POOL THE 90 DAY POOL.THE MINISTERS TENDENCIES ARE NOT ONLY DICTATORIAL BUT AN ENORMOUS LIABILITY TO THE IDEALS OF DEMOCRACY.MIND YOU,SOCCER IN ZAMBIA CUTS ACROSS POLITICAL AND TRIBAL BARRIERS.LET JUST SAY FOOTBALL IN ZAMBIA IS NOT ONLY BIGGER THAN KAMBWILI BUT PF THE POLITICAL VEHICLE THAT ROD HIM TO WHERE HE IT.MOREOVER THIS IS NOT ABOUT PF.ITS ABOUT FOOTBALL.IAM PF BUT I STAND OPPOSED TO THE SADISTIC NAME AS IT CONNOTES DOOM.
THE MINISTER SHOULD NOT PERSONALISE NATIONAL ISSUES.HE IS NOT THE NUMBER ONE FUN OF SOCCER.

Mr. kambwili, please learn from the failures of your colleagues in the last government of not listening to the advice of the people. What are you going to loose just to change the name of the stadium.Remember, ‘pride comes before the fall.’The name given to the stadium sounds awkward and misplaced. Lets be positive in the names we give to our national land marks. Please, Mr Minister, listen to people and you will not loose anything. Thank you for the hard work you are doing

This is how quickly we have ran away from the “Servant Leadership” you pledged to your voters.
We appreciate the gesture to honour our fallen heroes but we want you to be inclucive and honour All our Heroes not just those of the Gabon disaster.Listen to reason ba Minister!!!!!

You can throw tantrums this time Mr Kambwili ! Your time is coming when you will only dream of this power that you are wilding ! Have you forgotten that the Zambian people gave you the mandate to govern our country for us ! Now you have grown big-headed and treat people like nonentities ! Who put in power????
If you do not re-name the stadium right away….it doesn’t matter ! You will not be in charge forever !!! We will simply re-name it long after you have been BOOTED OUT OF POWER !!!!

Kambwili just mind your language. You have made a lousy decision that is why people have reacted. You are not our best gift from God regarding intelligence. You are behaving like MMD in its last days, thinking you cannot be removed from that position. Your arrogance an pathetic choice of language says so if you ask me.
Did you honestly need presidential intervention to know that the name was useless? Think fat boy, think for yourself you are a manager for god’s sake!

Ba Tubeless or Munshipompwa, p/se have a human character when dealing with fellow human beings. Big mouth will take you nowhere but destroy the little that is in you.
Thanks God, at least the Cabinet that misbehaved in naming the stadium has realised that they made a silly blunder and have called our new stadium a good name, “Heroes National Stadium”.
Ball juggler Kambwili, please continue with ball juggling because it may reduce your fats in the body and make you start respecting other peoples views on national matters. LONG live Munshipompwa .
