Lungu consoles Chipolopolo

Share

President Edgar Lungu has sent a consolation message to the Zambia national team following their 2015 Africa Cup preliminary stage exit.

Zambia finished bottom of Group B after failing to win a single game with two points.

The message was Lungu’s first to the team as Football Association of Zambia patron since his inauguration on January 25.

“We understand the desire for the team to win but things did not go our way. Please work on efforts to increase the number of youths in the team so that we build a sustainable team,” Lungu said.

  1. Please send auditors to FAZ..if it wants to continue being spoonfed by taxpayers. Sustainability is also about being self sufficient.

    • LET’S OVERHAUL FAZ, IT’S FULL OF CROOKS WHO ARE ONLY THERE TO SERVE THEIR SELFISH NEEDS. THEY STEAL MONEY THROUGH VERY DUBIOUS SPONSORSHIP DEALS, SENSELESS CHOICES OF TRAINING CAMPS AT EXHORBITANT CHARGES, EXTORTING MONEY FROM PLAYERS IN EXCHANGE FOR PLACES IN THE LINE-UP, AND MANY OTHER VICES. KALUSHA HAS FAILED AND JANZA HAS PROVED TOO SMALL FOR THE COACHING JOB – I THINK CHRIS KATONGO WAS RIGHT!

      LET’S GET THE KATONGO’S, CHIYANGI’S AND OTHER YOUNGER GUYS ONTO OUR TECHNICAL BENCH. AS FOR FAZ, WE NEED A SEASONED EXECUTIVE TO RUN THAT INSTITUTION AS A CORPORATE STRUCTURE.

    • We truly do understand the desire to Win but one has to be serious. Chipolopolo players and FAZ are stupid. They think things just come without hard-work.. See Ghana?? they played to correct mistakes. not those foo,ls called Zambia National Team?? they were on modeling contest to be picked by soccer agents than playing for Zambia.,.

      Selfish just like their leaders. Getting to an extent of killing a teacher out of disappointments.

      We have to start afresh with a new team and Leadership..

    • This is problem of alcohol, when you are drunk you see children as grown men, worse women.
      The oldest in chipolopolo was Kondwani Mtonga. I only watched kids running around in rains, I didn’t see any mature player like: Katongos, Chivuta, Mulenga, Chamanga, Mbesuma, Bronson Chama, Issac Chansa.

  2. kAMBWILI and the PF are solely to blame for the poor performance of our boys. How do you expect them to perform when they know that, despite their efforts they will have struggle to get their money when they fly back home.

    Thats why Kambwili needs to be fired because in instead of approving funds for Chipolopolo ‘s travel and allowances, he prioritises his own at the expense of the team.

    PF is just a bunch of f00ls.

    • Why do you find it so easy to blame the PF at every instant! Next time you will blame the PF for your premature ejaculation problem! Get a life you empty tin!

  3. He must start by firing Kambwili and appoint a new sports minister who knows Zambian sports requirements.We are waiting Mr President.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.

    • Fire Kambwili please because he is not an expert at anything but wants to exert his fat influence on football. Let him concentrate on Mpatamatu
