  1. Congrats great Kalu. My advice for you is that locally you have contributed to the dilapidation of soccer in the country. It is better for you to resign so that you don’t block other people’s jobs. Others we depend on those who play, so if things are not going well, just step down. You have already PHD in Faz.

  2. Atase, who gives a damn! The chap can go hang and I shall not shed a single tear, not even a crocodile one. The SOB has destroyed soccer in Zambia and his master Blatter wants to keep his stinking backside nailed on our FAZ appex, god damn!

    • Young Man dont shit in the same plate you eat you Kandolo.You are just exposing your ignorance.Open your eyes and see the world of football in GRAET GREAT Kalu.What ever you say the chapter of you Simata and that Kamanga Boys is over. Not even the Govt have powers now. Those who benefited are those who withdrawl the motion. What have you gained. You are still suffering and Mazabuka United have shared the CAKE. iF YOU CANT BEAT THEM join them .

  3. Congrats Kalusha! It is a great honor to work shoulder to shoulder with Franz Beckenbauer and the legendary Pele. Some people can’t stand Kalusha Bwalya as a leader in Zambian soccer but since there are very few other prominent figures, they just have to wish him luck.

  4. Congrats to King Kalu!! You are indeed a great man.Even at home you have done a great job to lure all those sponsors-but trouble na bantu ba pa Zed is petty jealous and selfshness-very few want to encourage those doing a great job-instead they strieve to bring you down.
    Great that you have managed to keep them at bay despite their sleepness nights to pull you down. Long live King Kalu and all the best as you keep hold of the FAZ, CAF and FIFA positions-keep them tight so that all those against your rule will be consumed with jealous!!

  5. No 1& 2.. We understand your frustrations but learn manners, when someone is recognised like that swallow your balls, acknowledge and congratulate them. I wonder if you even say thank you after hammering your wives or you are like those men that do push ups, fall and sleep. Learn manners.

  6. #7 This is a bit of a learning curve for me – saying thank you to your wife after a deed. mubita do really do that?

  7. Beckenbauer (Chiarman), Pele (Vice) and Charlton (member) were conspicuously absent at the inaugural meeting of the 2014 Taskforce. Speculation is rife that this may be to do with allegations of impropriety that they do not wish to be a part of……….

  8. Shame my friend Linaha! #. It could have been me on FIFA I am sure you could have felt great but this boy is too good!

  9. Naimyebele you Simata supporters, mwasebana mwebana bambwa mwe.. Siamata & Kamanga will continue sleeping at graveyards every night, and its cold in June. Congratulation boyi Kalusha.

  10. Kalusha is a CROOK!!! He and his henchmen at FAZ are behaving like Zambian politicians, surely being appointed as Acting Chairperson for the FIFA 2014 Taskforce does not erase the WAY Kalusha corrupted the Mazabuka Football club chairman to maintain his FAZ presidency?

    Am not surprised by FIFA’s behavior, because right now, former England FA Chairman has revealed the corruption that is in FIFA . Looks like Kalusha has bribed someone in FIFA who is spearheading his corruption activities.

    No Zambian who hates corruption will ever support Kalusha’s corruption FAZ presidency.

    The world is establishing more ways of fighting corruption and making laws that makes Anti Corruption Institutions independent, but Kalusha is working against this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Kamanga is a CROOK!!! He and his henchmen are behaving like Zambian politicians, surely being appointed as Interim Chairperson for FAZ 2012 Crookforce does not erase the WAY Kamanga corrupted the Mazabuka Football club chairman to maintain his calling.Am not surprised by FIFA’s behavior, because right now, Simata, has revealed the corruption that is in Mazabuka. Looks like Kamanga has bribed someone in town who is spearheading his corruption activities.No Zambian who hates corruption will ever support Kamangas’ corruption FAZ interim presidency.
      The world is establishing more ways of fighting corruption and making laws that makes Anti Corruption Institutions independent, but Kamanga is working against this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. God forbid amajelasi yaso!!!!! One will collapse because no matter how you trivialise the guy is going.

    • Just nonsense, can somebody who doesnt know administration chair FAFA task force. FIFA is just full of corrupt mafias, they are destroying our game in Zambia. You have heard from England, corruption allegations against four FIFA executive members, and ka Blatter is the architect. He has even failed to and campaign in England, come June 2 the mafais will be out of FIFA. So NSCZ just ban FAZ, what are you fearing. Anyway, come what may Kalusha will end up embarassed like RB.

  12. Congrats Kalu ????????????.
    Shame on you perennial critics and your CNP Shibata Shibata!

  13. Kalusha can even become FIFA prezident for all I care, but that wont take away the fact that there are serious issuez, real or imagined, around him at the helm of FAZ.

  14. Congrats Kalusha. Keep up the good work. You are an iconic figure. Do not lose a breath over jealous detractors, some on this this blog.

  15. Great Kulu thanks again for putting our beloved country on the map….am sure all the cricks are ashamed……soldier on… Zambia is behind you….

  16. “Kalusha took charge of the proceedings of the important Taskforce following Chairperson Franz Beckenbauer’s absence”. Is this really news bane. If my CEO is absent and im told to act should i get excited and inform the whole world about it even if it is just for a day.

  17. #1,3, 24, Mwanya chamikalipa! The man will continue progressing while you sshit in your pants envying him.Muzafa nayo jealous as the superstar flies and flies and flies!

  18. in the words of bashi Niza, “bamu pela akapoto ku geneva”… while u lames are still hating… congrats great Kalu…

  19. Well done great Kalu! Am sure your critics and foes, alike, must be shuddering an’ wishy-washing in envy. let them continue backbiting you by the time the realise, you, great Kalu , you ‘ll be miles ahead. imwe bane, lets give a pat where it is due. who in zambian soccer has achieved what Kalu has achieved especially in the last two decades?

  20. # 28 You would do well to concentrate on praizing Kalusha az it iz your democratic right, but then you should endeavour to co-exist with others who also have a every right not to chant Babylon about Kalu. Else even the gret Kalu you praize may be disappointed at what you write. 

  21. Congrates Kalu…as Zedians we have a problem of not celebrating our own heros….Kalu is no saint….but the country can leverage on his exposure to improve ‘things’ soccer…Simata simata an ther other stupid boy (Kamanga) will never take us anywhere…..

  22. Congratulations the King of Zambian Football. When someone does something positive, you acknowledge the achievement irrespective of your views on other issues. Its called civility. Dont bring in other issues unrelated to the issue at hand. Ha ha ha. Its like you pass an exam and the detractors, keep saying although he has passed, he failed last time!

  23. Zambians lets learn to give credit were its due and don’t bring politics in football Kalu has done a lot for Zambia well done Kalu

  24. Congrats my young brother Kalu. It is paining so much to your critics for your appointment. Leave by the word of God, “No prophet is welcome in his home land”

  25. Haters on this blog are disgraceful. Why can’t you support your countryman? Do you want people to know you only for negative things? Like what is that Southern African country where the life expectancy is 36?
    Stop this negativity culture and try to think positive. The fact is the country will only develop with the effort of Zambians and it does not help if they are always backstabbing one another and practicing PHD syndrome. This guy has worked very hard and it is good to see that people elsewhere recognize that. Many of you claim to be proud of your country but in practice you are anything but. Please keep your negative views to yourself as there are some impressionable young people that view this blog who may start thing like you!

  26. These are Kalusha Bwalya’s friends, now you will understand why they have no qualms with him flouting the FAZ constitution with impunity:

    “Former Football Association chairman Lord Triesman claims four Fifa members sought “bribes” in return for backing England’s failed 2018 World Cup bid. Triesman – who was initially chairman of England’s bid – made the allegations about Jack Warner, Nicolas Leoz, Ricardo Teixeira and Worawi Makudi. He said their behaviour was “below what would be ethically acceptable”.

  27. Now I know man’s problem for real! SIN! If Jesus were to come the same way he did, there will be people who could still want him killed, and killing him they would. People like #3, 15, 19. I have never seen such level of hate, I wish I knew you guys on a personal level and would have loved to know what kind of people you are and what others say about you! I am sure #38 if he could go kwahaye and get some witchcraft he wouldn’t hesitate to kill! What a shame God have mercy on our land!

  28. Linaha you are wasting time with these Zambians. They are the most gullible and backward people in Africa. These people will be the last to know that their country has been sold. There is a big corruption storm brewing up at FIFA even at CAF. There seems to be organised crime at these institutions. Bobby Charlton, Pele and Beckenbaeur were conspicous by their absence at this ‘task force’ now been chaired by Kalu. The three world cup winners Bobby, Pele and Der Kaiser simply dont want to be associated with the criminality at FIFA. Kalu like his supporters on this thread are either half literates or just plain st/.up.id that they dont know what is happening in the football world. Kalu will go down with Issa Hayatou CAF president and Sepp Blatter for their corruption.

  29. Check your throat #3 you may suffocate from hate in your throat! Hahaha! How does it feel in your heart too?

  30. Check your throat #3 you may suffocate from hate in your throat! Hahaha! How does it feel in your heart too? And kaka #1! Woa!

  31. Well done Kalu! Thank you for bringing sanity to the Zambian game and your administrations tireless work..

  32. Kalu, the greatest player i have ever watched in Zed…he is too clever for his own goodness…Well done mudala..

  33. One wonders what level of authority Andrew Kamanga will reach, because I heard he is no longer chairman of a certain club in Zambia!

  34. Hahaaaa….Mubita, thank you for laying your wife? You are polite alright in your own way, but that is not a standard by any means…Hahaaaaaaa…how nice?

  35. Michael Sata for President 2011and think great kalu will make a good VP for Sata. I cant wait to have a president who support gay.Thats the change we need pa Zed.    

  36. Simata anayamba ni kudala kutibvuta kapena kuma ’80s, Kalu once more show him……kaluuu, kaluuu, kaluuu its a goooooaaal! Baliwewe bamudala bapunda pa independence stadium…..i v never heard ati simata has scored not even in my poorest dreamz, so u guys keep on supporting simata and please go forward with the race to the bottomless pit, kalu is still scoring.

  37. I am glad that Zambians are learning the language of gratitude, keep it up.Do not worry about those who are yet to learn, the ones who can not see anything good in this.
