Football Consultant Ponga Liwewe has been appointment as Secretary General of the Football Association of Zambia.
Lusaka lawyer Lombe Mbalashi will be his Deputy.
Liwewe, son of late football commentator Dennis Liwewe was named Secretary General after a 10 hour long FAZ executive committee meeting was today.
Simataa Simataa failed to make the final cut while Mbalashi and Adrian Kashala made the final three shortlist have equally been picked.
congratutions ponga…work hard….make us proud…nochipantepante.
OK Congrats… But Mr Kamanga do not forget your good friend Mr Simataa Simataa utilise him somewhere…
Fantastic pick.
But I wish he was mayor for Lusaka.
Congratulations Mr Liwewe…this is excellent news; this is how its supposed bringing all great minds together with one goal in mind – synergy. I hope you try to persuade the executive to put some of those progressive articles you were posting on your Facebook page into practice.
Let’s drink to that!!
Was he really fired at supersport? I hope he is not broke and desperate like Great Galu was. Desperate chaps who are stunted in past glories have a tendency to embezzle
Don’t know how competent Ponga is, the guy has a lot of passion for soccer. Hope he translates his passion for the game into performance. Congrats Ponga!
Whilst I say congrats to Ponga, I wish to remind him that no man is an island. If & when he reads this he will know what I mean. Ponga & his friend Charles Nshimbi wanted to get hands on Power dynamos they failed and instead went for Kitwe United which they ruined. I just hope this executive won’t be greedy.
Two words only: “Zambia forward”
PONGA LIWEWE MAKES A MOVE RIGHT INTO THE 18 YARD BOX -WE ARE WITHIN FIRING RANGE! HAMA MFANA MANJEEEEEEEE– ITS A GOOOAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE BEST NEWS TO COME OUT OF FOOTBALL HOUSE IN A WHILE
Mature pick
“…..don’t call me Dennis, I’m your father.”
Bring on those fond memories,from a different perspective, as your father did.
Good luck.
Congratulations Ponga. Wishing you all the best. Remember, even though Ande (As we used to call him at CBU) is your long friend from the CBU days, please separate friendship and work. Same for you Andrew. For us who know the insights of FAZ, the appointment of George Kasengele as GS was the beginning of the downfall of Kalu because of their close friendship. Just a word of caution.
Ensure football go to rural areas and work on infrastructure. We need FAZ super division teams to play football from rural areas to inspire people. Congrats Ponga
Congrats, Can you please restore the life membership of Denis Liwewe which Kalusha Bwalya admin stripped to the bigman before he died.
What? They did that to Dennis?
Congrats Ponga and i feel this is a positive move in the right directions.
Congrats Mr Liwewe,thats leadership Mr Kamanga
ba kamanga tutwale bola forward kwamana…
Congrats Ponga and wishing you all the best in your new Job
Well, it is a sweet one so join hands with your long friend Andrew, work, deliver and change the shape of zambian soccer and prove your critics wrong.
Libya India Whisky Echo Whisky Echo (our local DANNY JORDAN) congrats on your appointment GS. May the Good Lord Continue guiding you in all the decisions you make for the betterment of the lovely game of football. Stay Blessed.
Mpila Zambia!
Congratulations young brother of Linda Liwewe of the UNZANDO BAcc class of 1981-85. We witnessed Fred Membe, Rogers Chisambi and Okello bombard the wamuyaya syndrome in their Bulwark. Those were the days of Lufwendo Nguleka (MHSRIP), Maliwa Maliwa (MHSRIP), Astridah ‘the neck’ Malungisa (MHRIP),’Greenwood’ Kimodo, Moods Mudenda, Katambo, Royd Chisanga, Robert ‘Buzz’ Banda, Henry Biyela (MHSRIP), Aaron Chungu, Peter Lesa (kukonda tennis), Richard Simango, Florence Muhundika, Stimela, Soka Kapunda, mother perpetual (lol) et al
Remember the terror of Dr Kamya’s Economics 210?! What of Dr Jani’s calculus (derivatives and integration)?
Are you okay in the head?
Great appointment and well deserved. A football fanatic and well read !! Must bury the of secrecy and dictatorship in the running of football in the country as epitomized by Kalusha and his team. What a breath of fresh air.
Intellectuals have taken over FAZ house and now lets get the ball rolling, focus on talent development, make football a recreational sport, help make football attire and equipment accessible, open FAZ offices in all the provinces and districts, staff the offices with volunteers to coordinate and run the schedule, start from bottom up and don’t leave any place un attended. Congratulations Ponga.. you are well qualified for the job.
BRAVO BROTHER ADRIAN KASHALA FOR MAKING IT TO THE FINAL LIST OF FAZ SG CANDIDATES. KNOWING YIOUR BACK GROUND AND HARD WORK YOU STILL ACHIEVE MORE IN YOUR SPORTING LIFE. ITS JUST A SMALL SET BACK. SOMETHING BIG WILL SOON LAND IN YOUR HANDS. GOD BLESS YOU.
