The Andrew Kamanga Faz interim camp has said SuperSport’s decision to temporally cease beaming Super Division matches is a serious lapse in the administrative systems at Faz.
And Faz has called SuperSports decision to temporally cease broadcasting after April 25 as disappointing.
SuperSport says it will only resume broadcasting if Faz gives them fixtures that will not be changed at short notice.
“The behaviour of Football House towards our partners is a clear manifestation of the deep seated problems affecting the administration of the game which led to the outcry that has attracted a vote of no confidence,” the a statement issued by Faz interim press liason officer Lwanga Mwilu said.
“It is further disappointing that this group which used the SuperSport deal to coerce Super Division teams into resuming the league when they were not ready have failed to live up to contractual demands.
“There is a clear breakdown of administrative systems at Football House which is uncalled for and should be brought to an immediate end.
“We urge this out-going group of FAZ executive members to render an unreserved apology to SuperSport, the football family and indeed consumers who were anxiously looking forward to the cancelled fixtures that had attracted wide advertisement.”
Meanwhile, Faz vice president Boniface Mwamelo said Football House reserves the right to reschedule league games.
“The Football Association of Zambia wishes to express its disappointment by MultiChoice Zambia following a statement attributed to it Public Relations Manager Marlon Kananda on the live broadcast of MTN Super League games,” Mwamelo said.
“It is extremely disappointing because matters raised in that statement were put in wrong context and have misled the football community and general public.
As custodians of the league, FAZ reserves the right to reschedule games in the best interest of the teams and the overall development and advancement of Zambian football both on the local and international front.”
ba vice president, multi choice pays you to broadcast the games, just be organised you are in no possible to piss in there pond. in what ever you do plan is important. znbc can nt broadcast unless a private tv stations jacks up and go in on the deal. sponsors pay money for the broadcasts. how do you fail to understand multy choice possition? huh?
Now these two camps in zambian football are becoming big fools. You are spoiling the furture of the game. multchoice is not there for you alone. If you are not not gready to work please get out of football areas we want people ready to develop. I can see the two groups are only interested on money. I say again kamanga and the so called faz give zambia a break you are not the only zambians. go go go again do not come back. shame
Many more and people are leaving LusakaTimes for better websites. People are tired of all these useless-negative news. Who is Kamanga to meaniful Zambians, Only people like Zambia Daily Mail and LusakaTimes may think a person who can’t even manage his own home and Kabwe worriers can lead all football fans into football. Mwendoshimwe
Football politics wont help the game in Zambia.The two camps need 2 work together.
Kamanga and simata are the reason why there is confusion in Faz.Zambian football did extremely well at one time without supersport.The league is behind schedule becoz of selfish individuals like simata.By the way,kamanga and your evil angels,we believed in u at the begining,not any more.U are actually the confusion.
With such reporting on LT, I will have no choice but to equally leave. Can we see some level headed topics for a change please
Mr. so called Faz interim press liaison officer Lwanga Mwilu I wonder how you would come out like that and expect us to believe you when we all know that such change may have been necessitated by the delay in starting the league which surely was casued by your F.o.o.l.i.s.h so called INTERIM Committee. Pls LT don’t waste our time reading s.t.u.p.i.d articles you are chasing us.
Ponga Liwewe was a key figure at the interz ecm & an accomplice of kamanga before they abandoned kitwe utd. Hope he has no hand in this.
When is this Kamunga going to shut up?
