Faz has said it will not organize any formal ceremony to mark the 18th anniversary of the Gabon air crash tomorrow.
In a statement, Faz said Football House will not take part in any official ceremonies tomorrow but will do so every five years begining in 2013.
“The Football Association of Zambia President Kalusha Bwalya will be at the Heroes Acre at the Independence Stadium burial site on Thursday 28th April at 11:00hours to lay a wreath in his personal capacity,” the statement said.
“The President will be accompanied by members of the Executive Committee as well as other stakeholders.
“As stated in communiqués and addresses marking remembrances of the 16th and 17th anniversaries, FAZ has already initiated and set into motion preparations to mark this momentous date of our football calendar every fifth year.
“Over the coming months, the Association will expand its consultation with the families and stakeholders in leading and preparing for the 20th anniversary celebratory remembrance, the 25th anniversary and others following in that five-year cycle with activities that will not only remember but continue to honour the memories of our gallant heroes.
“Details of events to characterize these commemorations will be communicated over time.”
You are just fearing pressure from the people about the Gabon report!!
And how do the younger generations remember. Next it will be freedom day. Then Independence day. I bet more than half the population doesnt know what the holidays mean. Lest we forget
@napapa sana Kalu is not the one responsible for releasing the Gabon report. Government should do so. Ask RB. Infact it should have been done by FTJ
Some people open their mouths because they have to as can be gathered here. Kalu would very much want to have the Gabon Report in the open. He could have been a victim too.
