The Football Association of Zambia has handed a life ban on Faz Western Province Division 2 club Antonio FC vice chairman Jackson Biemba.
Faz communications officer Erick Mwanza said at Wednesday’s weekly press briefing at Football House in Lusaka that Biemba was found guilty of uttering unwarranted attacks against Faz.
“He (Biemba) was summoned before the disciplinary committee to answers charges of unwarranted attacks against the Football Association,” Mwanza said.
“After deliberation the disciplinary committee banned Mr Biemba for life effective 17th December 2011. I have been duly mandated by the chairman of the disciplinary to announce this decision.”
Biemba two weeks ago told the local press that Faz president Kalusha Bwalya was arrogant for saying sports minister Fackson Shamenda was being misled about how Faz was run in an interview the 1988 Africa Footballer of the Year gave BBC African Football.
The Antonio vice chairman also told Kalusha to humble himself after had said in the same interview that he was not concerned that Government would not pay for Herve Renards salary.
Meanwhile, Faz and the sports ministry have since reconciled and agreed to work together to source Renard’s salary.
What is this?? Kalu, I’m your biggest fan but why cant you give the guy some freedom of speach?? You are hurting those who suport you!
You need to respect authority and you should know your limits. Every club has rules, it is only in Kalu’s tenure where i have seen lawlessness to the extent were he can be insulted left, right and centre by every affiliate. We never saw this anarchy in kasunga, mulonga, david phiri, late mwape (mhsrip) etc excoms. Pa Zed palifula ukusamwa sana. infact the reign of kalu is the most difficult one because very few companies are willing to fund the game of football after the demise of ZCCM and other parastatals companies and this is not a rocket science to understand. This is the reason our country is on snail pace in the region in terms of development because the whole day can end without any actionable solution but full of criticisms and insults. The best the critics can do now is to wait
don’t believe everything you read on LT they don’t have the true facts of the disciplinary action…speculating bastards! Â
Free speech doesnt mean u wash dirty linen in public. Good move faz.
Just form Barotse Football Association(BFA) and forget about FAZ.
Excellent bane FAZ bring these careless talkers who want to be recognize through ukusabaila to book we need sanity, not every one who eats vinkubala wants to come and talk rubish
Biemba the people using you will never be in Faz.Your mouth is so dirty,look now we need football in western,anyway bukuba.
Several years ago (1980) that is 31 years ago FAZ banned our friend and classmate who played for Big Coke in Kitwe then in either Copperbelt Amateur League or Division 3 for LIFE for assaulting a referee!
Thats a personal matter no need to ban him. If Kalu felt offended get the bolts and enter the ring. He will come out the losser:d
