There was a near punch up between the chief usher and delegates at the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) Annual General Meeting entrance when former FAZ executive committee member Violet Bwalya was denied entry into the meeting this morning at Mulungushi Rock of Authority in Kabwe.
The confusion ensued when one of the chief ushers asked Bwalya for her affiliation card and which club she belonged to.
In response, Bwalya told the Chief usher that she was life member and did not need a pass or club membership to enter but she was asked to move away.
The usher later told Bwalya that she was causing unnecessary confusion as he had received specific information to filter delegates out of the meeting and he would only allow those who were recognised by superiors.
“I have driven all the way from Ndola as an observer now you are telling me I can’t go in because I am not a club member, that’s nonsense “said Bwalya.
Speaking to ZANIS after being pulled from the feud by some concerned delegates, Bwalya claimed the ushers were merely hired thugs meant to cause confusion.
“Some people’s livelihoods depend on football no wonder they are promoting hooliganism “ Bwalya said.
Violet Bwalya who resigned alongside Pivoty Simwanza, Henschel Chitembeya last year, expressed surprise at the manner the AGM was organised by FAZ.
Others barred from entering were Mansa Football Club Secretary Josam Siamambo, Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) Kabwe based journalists and other designated delegates.
ZANIS
Simata shd leave our Kalu alone! If he has nothing to do, let him go to Sata for campaigns
@ 1 – MJ: How does Simataa come into this story?
Who is Kalusha to determine the course of football in this country?
What is the out come from the meeting? Did Kalusha survived the no confidence vote?
LT please brief us what happened inside not only on the entrance.
How does violet insult pipo whose lives depend on soccer in the statement above. She needs counselling.no wonder they r ready to destroy with simataa. Many of our brothers & now sisters depend on soccer.
Eyes on the ball…. The bwalya lady (if ever she is one) should swallow her pride and accept that her dreams and those of S H I T master and no nzeru kamanga is shattered WHY? coz they did not do their home work properly, they took people for granted and yes they were beaten by their own game…!!!
# 3. He is the FAZ president, CAF committee and FIFA committee member. He is also 1988 African Footballer of the year! You mean you didn’t know that?
That’s a good one!
She resigned from FAZ… in what capacity did this Bwalya VIOLENCE or whatever ..come to do at the AGM? Bring more stupidity and confusion.
Violet Maafi yobe, why do u want confusions to be part of our football?
# 7, whosover he is is a non starter to Zambian Football. We dont improve any standards by what you have done in the past. Even ci Simaata or Kamanga can never improve football with this way of doing thing. We need people with sober minds who have the game at heart. Can some one be so intolerant because he was once upon a time a footballer of the year. You cant be allowing this click of *****s spend money on failed meeting and other institutions like FIFA spending air fare, NSCZ and other stakeholders wasting resources continously not knowing the Maggots have secret agendas. Why did they just inform the nation before the actual day that the agenda had been withdrawn instead of pretending all was well. Why have the two camps been so stiff necked to the extent of risking FIFA ban
She is consufed. Just look at her hair do!
Even life member need invitations. PPlease ba Violet show some humility… You were not invited thats why you were not allowed in. Next time check with FAZ for a card otherwise you will be embarassed over a straight forward thing
I thnk being a life member is not a passport to go to a meeting without being invited.
BALELWILA INDALAMA… BO SIMATAA BAKONA KU EZA KA faz KABONA

# 10. Democracy comes with a huge cost. This is one of the reasons we conduct bye elections a few months before a general election. Remember, the failed constitutional bills?
FAZ / ZAMBIA pays substantial amounts to FIFA in affiliation fees.So, air tickets for flying in a FIFA official is nothing!!!
Mwe bantu pleaseeeee!!! Surely there are issues that must transcend personalities! I was filled with envy as I watched some republicans heaping praises on Obama regarding the movie-like mission that culminated in Osama Bin Laden’s death. God help us reach that level of maturity in this our land where we claim to stand and sing proud and free!
