Super Division Teams Break Silence on Faz Crisis

Share

Football Association of Zambia president Kalusha Bwalya

Four Super Division clubs led by Green Buffaloes have broken the silence from top-flight teams by declaring that Kalusha Bwalya’s co-opted executive committee is illegal.

Faz has been embroiled in a constitutional impasse since the resignation of four executive committee members a fortnight ago when Pivoty Simwanza, Violet Bwalya, Henshel Chitembeya and Faz vice president Emmanuel Munaile quit over the way the way affairs were being run at Football House.

The Super Division teams joining Buffaloes in breaking the silence over the legality of Kalusha’s co-opted executive committee in the Super Division are all from the defence and security wing namely Nkwazi, Choma Eagles and Red Arrows.

The group of four calling itself the consultative group of defence and security teams is headed by Buffaloes chairman Colonel James Mazimba who said the clubs believed in constitutional order at Faz and have demanded an emergency meeting.

“As defence and security teams who are in support of upholding the FAZ constitution, we recognise difficulties that FAZ is likely to face in carrying out their mandate as a result of the said resignations which inter alia limits their ability to form a quorum by virtue of article 27.3 (iii),” Col Mazimba said in a statement released on Tuesday.

“Do hereby resolve and call upon the FAZ president (Kalusha Bwalya) to convene an emergency meeting to settle the current impasse and chart a way forward in accordance with article 26.2 (iv) of the constitution of FAZ and remain focused with eyes on the ball.”

Mazimba said the consultative group of defence and security clubs met on Monday on Monday in Lusaka where the four clubs resolved that Kalusha’s co-opted executive was operating without a legal mandate.

“At a meeting of chairpersons of Green Buffaloes Football Club, Red Arrows Football Club, Nkwazi Football Club and Choma Eagles Football Club held on Monday 11 October 2010 in Lusaka, it was resolved that the existing FAZ executive was operating without a legal mandate. Arising from the resignations of the three committee members and the vice president, the current executive does not form a quorum to transact any business.”

  1. now even soldiers who dont speak publicly have spoken out. its time up king galu your eyes are off the ball. zwa zwa

  2. Mazimba said the consultative group of defence and security clubs met on Monday on Monday in Lusaka where the four clubs resolved that Kalusha’s co-opted executive was operating without a legal mandate.

  3. It is time for Kalu and his executive to heed the call for an emergency meeting. We should not be suspended just because of few individuals’ greediness. Listen to your councilors and do what is right.

  4. Teams dont have to meet to resolve anything.Kalushya Bwalya is operating illegally according to the FAZ constitution period.He is just clinging to power because Vasco da Banda is condoning the nonsense at FAZ.

  5. we are waiting to here from clubs like mufulira, nkana, nchanga and power. i see Kalu’s way out and the time is now.

  6. Just be mindful of what FIFA will do?Kalu is in good books with them and your country president.To be honest with you Kalu will finish his term.I dont like the man but thats the reality.

  7. This Kalusha does not know how to do the honourable thing by stepping down? he will be made to look more silly than he is. Can all the clubs stand up to this F.O.O.L now please – the solders have spoken for once this comes only once in Zambia gentlemen¬

  8. UYU WANZELU TRY TO DEBATE ISSUES YOUR HEAD IS JUST CLOGGED WITH RB YOU WILL COLLAPSE BCOS OF BP FOR HOW LONG WILL YOU HATE MUDALA BANDA FOR DOING GOOD THINGS. KALUSHA HAS BEEN IN FAZ EVEN B4 RB AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREEDY. YES RB LIKES SOCCER AND YOU WONT STOP HIM. JEALOUSY KA WANZELU

  9. KALU YOU ARE NOT A GOOD FOOTBALL ADMINISTRATOR.HEED THE WARNING AND SAVE THE LITTLE RESPECT THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU.TAKING TOO LONG WILL NOT ASSIST.WE CAN NOT 4GET THE TRANSFER SAGAS SO SOON.REMEMBER WHAT U DID TO TEDDY MULONGA.IF FIFA SUSPENDS US WE SHALL HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE.FOR NOW JUST KNOW THAT FAZ IS FOR ZAMBIANS,FIFA OR NO FIFA WE SHALL DEAL WTH YOU.

  10. Surely all theze people are not just jealousy (or have a the so called Phd syndrome)of our gret Kalu? If FIFA haz the ability to monitor associationz, az they claim, they must have seen something amiss at Football House, or it’s just government interference that iz “vizible”?

  11. ABASHILIKALE NGA BALANDA NINSHI NABALANDA, no compromise pliz Kalu and company convene a meeting as requestted by the ASILIKALE, CHAPWAAAAAAAAAA

  12. Where are the ministry of sports officials. Teddy Mulonga you are the PS but you have gone into hiding can you pls guide us with what the constitution say about this, We shall not say it’s revengance on kalusha but just want your guidance. Where are the former FAZ officials to guide us Bennet simfukwe, Tom Mtine and this kabwe man as you go to kapiri a former minister in kaunda and many more. Mr Banda at sports council don’t intimidate Max Sichula we want to hear alot about Football house. Kalusha kuya bebele back to Butondo Tigers where you belong.

  13. If only this Soldier-stance can be replicated to politics ala BaShimucita Panono, I like this word of the likes of RB, Dora, Ka Mulongoti, well Zambia will be under a peaceful democratic military rule. VIVA Soldiers, now you’re talking. I knew that at least in the Zambia we know Soldiers have got the stamina to voice out and I’m glad we’re seeing some roots of better leadership to come. I wish Zambia will one day be led by a Soldier to instil discpline in these chaps! Abena Tug-Argan support your local team peacefully.

  14. This is why Maureen Nkandu refused to marry this simpleton from Butondo! She knew she would never be happy with this impresario! I shudder to think if he has even paid any alimony in the adolescent years of their daughter. The same nepotism (he is known for) has brought us an Italian coach who is a cousin of Kalusha’s wife! That’s why the team is failing (even to play) you have to pay the FAZ prez!

  15. Copperbelt teams should stand up and make their stance known on this issues. If the defense teams stood up and make their position known then I expect the CB teams to follow suit. I also expect Mufulira Wanderers to be in the forefront of the pack since this greedy Kalu has not even done a single thing for a dear team that made him who he is, a dear team that campaigned for him for the FAZ President. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING – ZERO, ZILCH, NADA. I challenge anyone to stand up and state what Galu has done for the” Mighty” Wanderers.

  16. Constitution-constifyonono, what do you know you imbwa shaba malonda (watch-dogs)? Kalu is just smater than Simata-sikala.

  17. Ladies and gentlemen?Kalu is great and smart,in all your insults and whatever your conclusion the man is quite and really responds to your attacks.its jelousy.the guy has just succeded in is ambitions.How many Zambian played football and have sat on the FIFA commit.The people resigning are the ones who are greedy.because we voted them in to have solutions to any arising challenges and move forward.Kalu is not a failure.With or without those that have resigned Kalu has opted to forge ahead.FAZ is bigger that any individual.Those grieving should wait for his team to end.Zambians we easily forget.How come FAZ today has more money than ever before,how come Zambian football is now selling on DSTV?We are just jelousy because of his personal capacity to fly in and out to south africa kwasila…..

  18. eh Zambians!!!! You dont know a good thing when it stares you in the face. You would rather chase this great man away and have some unknown FOOL running your football. Can you not appreciate. I am embarrassed to be half Zambian, I wish there was a way of cancelling my Zambian heritage. This story makes me sick to my stomach……..x(

  19. Great kalu is the best for Zambian football.Woe to zelous people.Lets us learn to accept change.Kalu has brought change in Zambian football.

    Those who quitted becuase they are zelous.

    Congrats Kalu.Its time for Change of mind set.Shame to quitors

  20. i have hired some pipo to blog in support of me,it seems it is work.plz guys continue,otherwise the supersport deal is definately a court case,i did it criminally!

  21. What can those petitioner do at FAZ house without connections! Football is all about connections and I bet this football was means of survival for some of the defectors! Kalu closed tupunda! No selling players any how or hiring their personal vehicles during international matches for the officials. It is clean transactions and FAZ is now a pure business entity not an extension of Ministry of Sports!! Zed football on DSTV, bane what else do you need you detractors who claim to have football teams that you only manage in your backyards! What input then just critism critism!

  22. Leave Kalu alone and concertrate on your consultancy businesses,u have failed as a coach and now u want to generate confusion to create an opportunity for yourselfish gains and ascend to become FAZ President.Waloba ilyauma.If you ar patriotical enough give advise.2012 general FAZ elections is comming then you can aspire.Kalu keep up the spirit,you have acted as a true leader by replacing those failures that resigned.

  23. Kalu’s end will be very embarrassing. I see this “Galu” being chucked out like a dog soon. For real this man has totally failed. We have never seen a stu.pid FAZ president like him. Galu nausebana chikamba chobe.
