Where Will The Faz AGM Be Held?

Share

Faz is in a catch-22 situation over the staging of its annual general meeting in Kitwe this Saturday after news that State House has requested it be staged in Lusaka instead.

The Faz AGM, which is attaining soap opera status, is set to be held in Kitwe and not Lusaka as being demanded by government.

Sources familiar with the development said this evening said Fifa has told them that they will not entertain the government’s request for the AGM to the shifted from Kitwe to Lusaka.

The sources say Fifa deems that as a third party interference.

However, Faz has yet to make a decision on whether to go ahead and let delegates travel to Moba Hotel in Kitwe or back to Lusaka with Mulungushi International Conference Centre the preferred venue by GRZ.

“We are caught in the middle,” the source said.

  1. this country seriously needs to start afresh. I won’t be surprised to hear that Zambia has been closed and is up for auction.

  2. For different reasons, just go with Kitwe, ignore the rumour mongerers, we just heard them feebly try to deny Sata’s lesbian statement, and twist it when all else had failed.

  3. What is wrong with having the FAZ meeting in Kitwe? Is Lusaka the centre of the universe? One thing disgusting about this government is its pathological dislike for Kitwe. They always marginalize Kitwe even though it is the second largest city in Zambia. Every time they want a major development or event, it is Lusaka, Livingstone, or Ndola!!

  4. I love Chitwe! “Kitwe” is what the British called the city after failing to pronounce Chitwe. I love my Chitwe

  5. Simataa you have caused all the confusion. Your ka Team is it based in kalikiliki or chazanga? Where do you train from? Lets be serious guys….

  6. You guys dont mix homosexuallity of pf to football otherwse you ll now make us genuine fans and christians to start hating kalu because of your senseless contributions. All pf members are homosexuals. Viva grt kalu viva rb.

  7. LT please tell us who is causing this confusion. When you said state house has requested … Is it the government house that wrote/told FAZ to have the meeting in Lusaka? Be frank in reporting, lets know why/which/who made the request?

  8. Go to Kitwe away from those pulling strings by remote control. Kalu is the legitimate FAZ leader. Stop those anarchists.

  9. This whole crap happening in FAZ has has everything to do with Rupiah Banda, who wants his son Henry Banda to take over from Kalusha through Kamanga. Rupiah thinks he can benefit from the grants which are given to FAZ through Henry.

    The FAZ AGM will be staged in Kitwe and no more tantrums from Kamanga after this whitewash in Kitwe

  10. Don’t involve RB in the FAZ shit, it is Kalu and his fellows, Simataa Simataa is okay. Ba Kalu bli kula umutwe. He thinks he is indispensable.

  11. Why did they pick on Kitwe? Lusaka is more central. If they wanted the copperbelt Ndola would have been a smart pick.

  12. RB at it again he wants to chew everywhere.We know the root cause of all these problems in FAZ Kamanga has the blessings from state house. These chaps wants to control everything. Soon Zambia will be RB & Sons LTD.
    Watch out!!!

  13. Whats wrong wth Kitwe state house? Kalu my boy go on wth your kitwe meeting if they interfear u ll see wht wll happen

  14. Surely and squarely # 15 uli Bunchee!!! To hell with RB-Rubbish.

    Every time its Mulungushi why not Kitwe this time around?

  15. Lusaka is more central and why did they pick on kitwe from the usual kabwe? i think something is wrong some where.but if the change is for the benefit of all councilors to attend the AGM, then let it be changed but if is to fix kalu and his team then the venue shouldnt be changed

  16. The FAZ AGM can be held in Mansa or Lukulu for all I care! Az long az there iz no dribbling, let’s respect the outcome of the 26th March meeting. Though this article iz rather vague, why iz FIFA alwayz quick to scream blue murder whenever government cautionz FAZ?

  17. MOBA HOTEL is the state of the art piece of marvel. If there will be a near punch up or fights then take it elsewhere. I have a lot of reservations for holding such tense AGM at the gem of the copperbelt and let cheap cadres destroy Nelson Kaoma’s Investments. Let us implore heavy security at MOBA HOTEL we need it more than we need football but for business.

  18. Galu has hired thugs from chamboli to disrupt the proceedings in kitwe, then cancel/postpone the meeting to perpetuate his stay at FAZ.Lusaka is the best place to hold the meeting.

  19. The govt through the NSC has continously meddled in the affairs of football in order to allow the Nephew of the president to run FAZ but FIFA does not allow the Govt to meddle in soccer that is why the Tamanga boys have grown wings its the support from the state that has brought all these problems in Zambian soccer and all the delegates now know this.DONCHI KUBEBA!!!!

  20. Why would a team from Chama go to all the way to kitwe let alone Livigstone.Govt is right one this one,Your Kalusha is systematically trying to prevent some councillors from travelling.

  21. Plix GRZ stop this confusion and allow football to develop. Why are you on the side of Kamanda nad Simata? What is wrong with the venue of Kitwe when it is part of Zambia?

  22. Shocking revelations.nscz has stoped thinking.
    Simata was right, he said y is this kalu so adamant when no one in zambia wants him to be in FAZ beginning with the Government, NSCZ, faz affilates and most soccer fans. I dont know how far true this statement was or is.
    VP Kunda in parliament said govnt is no happy with faz and that they are working through NSCZ to sort out the mess at football house…u never know.
    Kalu was right wen he stormed out of the NSCZ meeting, they are playing hide and seek.
    All councilors go to Kitwe and shame the rset.

  23. :((:(( Why do you people always advocate for anything to be staged in Lusaka? Lusaka is not the only city with facilities, CB is one of the greatest cities in Zambia. This time its for CB and not Lsk.
    And why is the govt meddling in the affairs of football, coz i cant understand it? FIFA will soon come in and show us the red card and we are going to be suspended.
    So this is the reason why Kamanga his has grown big-headed, its coz there is RB’s son and RB’s nephew? Kalu will emerge victorious believe me you and all these charlatans, minions and tryanns who want to rule the country by force will be ashamed and embarrassed..Its high time we say no to bad eggs who want to contaminate our lovely game..Let football be a unifying factor and nothing else.
    I rest my case.

  24. #34 And why should a guy travel all the way from zambezi to Lusaka. So it doesn’t matter where the meeting is held because any FAZ affiliate worth his sort should be able to travel to whichever town hosts the AGM as long as it is in Zamabia. If anyone can’t afford to travel then they have no business in football. Football is not for paupers to run. Try chiyenga

  25. Gadaffi abana ebamutumpika so is rupiah wanay chi henry kalu is sharp ukucila na ci wiso……..ci simata ulupato kwata wfwelwe pamatapko ya nkumba i”diot….VIVA KALU

  26. Honestly, honestly!!!!!!! What is happening in my country? Fighting over small issues like venue for an event at the last minute, they are all the time picking their noses and flipping boogers at each other. Grow up, you are all too trivial.

  27. @32 ICEBERG mmd thug and their useless sons can not match Kalu’s exposure! no wonder ama jealous mulibacabe cabe foolish leaders and sons of the president no wonder u hit the same woman dora with your father……………………………….. we are going to sort you out at Moba Hotel….. mind you it is just next to kafue river mwanya ………..simata stay away! and u are going to lose ba swine

  28. Thermometer the have you heard that mmd want to be announcing election results from state house …they have even purchased furnicture for Ireen Mambililima and her useless ECZ, so don;t be surprised that they want the venue in lusaka… and To Simata just hire ka William Banda we shall meet you headon and crash you with the Jeraboh unit…..Kitwe is no fly-zone for these two iiiiiiiiiii*****s……

  29. just disband FAZ and form a new team to be led by MATURE people and of koss to assisted by an under five then we will have no wrangles at all because this business of draggin faz into politics is retrogressive

  30. Great Galu now has even defied The President of Zambia!

    Let FIFA go ahead and ban FAZ or Zambia. Let them do so. Then we can revive a local league under National Footbal League (NFL). Remember we used to have it. In the meantime the FAZ Interim Committee should engage FIFA.

    From experience FIFA bans only last for a few months.

  31. #46 Its not about the league its about Banda or his children running FAZ at all costs that is the problem here. His sons and Nephews have seen MONEY in running FAZ that is why they recruited Kalu’s sworn enemy Simaata to lead the attacks but we all know this. Let them take the meeting even at state house we will shame them .LOl!!!

  32. There goes another adamant fool who thought football was named after him..he’s a fool for all I know.That’s the same way alabee will go this year.PVT to be done in Kitwe and Shangombo will ensure the mad dogs leave government to HH so will Galu leave the control of football to Kamanga

  33. #48 For as long as you personalize the issue we shall never reach a FAZ solution. From your comment one can deduce that you agree that even those who are clinging on to FAZ are doing so because of the money in FAZ.

    So let us for a while forget about the money and concetrate on the game. My suggetion still stands. Forget FAZ and its money and get something else like National Football League (NFL) and carry on with the game.

  34. Tomorrow marks the end of another failed football administration and we’ll be ushering another one that will fail us in a few months to come. Selflish leaders are in all sectors of the country no wonder we can’t make progress as a country.Please vote for me to fill in the position of National president as well as Faz president.
