Kambwili-2013 was a sporting disaster

Share

Sports minister Chishimba Kambwili has described the 2013 sportng season as a disaster.

Kambwili said the only bright spot all year came when the Shepolopolo Under-17 qualifying for the 2014 FIFA Under-17 Womens World Cup in Costa Rica.

“This year has been disastrous 2013 has not been very bad in terms of overall performance,” Kambwili said.

“There could be one or two like the Under-17 girls but when you take all the tournaments that we participated in as a country we performed below expectation.

“You look at the just ended swimming it was disaster, the Under-20 boys knocked out of Cosafa, Zambia didn’t qualify to the World Cup, Cecafa, we didn’t do well, the rugby tournament we didn’t do well.

“But my message to all sports association is to wake and up and start organizing sports in a manner that is acceptable.”

  1. aba nabeena, he thinks results come without investing? besides the sports men and women have discovered that you do not deliver on any promise you make to them except when you are dealing with girlfriends

  2. Yes it was a disaster because you Kabwili became a spokes person for associations like FAZ and chaps like Kalu and all the gang of criminals at FAZ. Do you remember that you stopped people from contesting against Kalu because you claimed that he had brought the AFCON. So the biggest disaster of 2013 has been to have you as sports Minister. Provided your clueless boss does not kick you out we expect worse things in 2014 and beyond!

  3. Such is expected in the world of football but the guys that went to cecafa tried they just messed up the game by allowing the Sudanis to come in the the game when the game was almost over third position is not bad at least they’ve won a bronze why not talk of the team that were eliminated at Afcon in the first round that team has really gone to sleep as though they were not 2012 champions.

  4. Mr. Kakasu – are you basing you overall results on soccer? ok if 2013 sporting was disaster, what would you rate PF performance for 2013? Maybe Disaster too.? right

  5. You have no long term strategy, benchmarks and expect to win so if Zambia qualified for Brazil then to this buffoon overall spotted would have been a success. Ask him what long term plan he has for the next Olympics.

  6. Hon Kabwili respond to Kumwenda’s letter about the downfall of sports in Chingola district by Chingola Municipal council.
