Super Division side Nchanga Rangers are threatening to complain to FAZ over Zanaco’s decision to sale striker Fashion Sakala to Russian side Spartaka Moscow claiming the player belongs to them.
Nchanga secretary Jim Chongo insists Sakala whom Zanaco have sold to Moscow after signing a three year deal was a Rangers player.
Nchanga identified Sakala from Chipata five years ago when he was in Grade 9 and later sponsored him up to Grade 12 at Chingola Secondary School.
The Under-20 star was loaned to Zanaco two seasons ago after impressing in his debut season at Nchanga Stadium.
Chongo said Nchanga loaned Sakala to Zanaco in 2015 but the Bankers went ahead to register him for the 2016 season minus finishing negotiations with the Chingola club.
Chongo added that Zanaco have also poached keeper Toaster Nsabata and defender Chongo Chirwa from Nchanga illegally.
He claimed that Rangers have not received any money from Zanaco regarding the three players it has registered.
“”We are writing a protest letter to FAZ because the behaviour of Zanaco is bad. Again we complained to FAZ over Zanaco’s conduct but no action has been taken against the club,” he said
Sakala is expected to move to Russia after representing Zambia at the Under-20 Africa Cup in two weeks time.
“Zanaco registered the player the following season (2016). They wrote us later that they wanted the player for a permanent move and they have not come back to us. We have written to Football Association of Zambia but nothing is happening,” Chongo said.
“The same behaviour of Zanaco has continued and this season they got and registered Chongo Chirwa our left back defender without any formalities or clearance from our club,” he said.
But when contacted for a comment, Zanaco chairman Edward Mutale said he had no comment on the matter stating that it is within Rangers’ rights to complain to FAZ.
“If anyone club is aggrieved there is an arbitrator to complain to. This issue of making comments in the press is not good, we cannot say anything about the matter, because there is procedure that should be followed whenever such matters come about,” Mutale said.
Mwa amba please don’t destroy the Young Man’s future like you did to Mbola please solve the problem behind the curtains and allow the boy to go ahead and let Country benefit imwe mwebantu babonaushi.
Sounds like there is human trafficking at Nchanga Rangers.
If Fashion had continued at nchanga he could not have been sold to Russia.The best Sakala can do is buy fashionable jersey for Nchanga, like Chamanga used to do.
Foolish Nchanga administration chaps. This is the problem with these money making soccer administrators. You become alert when you hear the sounds of money but all along you kept quite even bribing referees just for you to remain in the premier Leaque. Where were you all this while! Just sleep
Though Rangers is my club, I say this is rubbish talk from Chongo. How could an unregistered player play for another club without complaints from anyone. Now that money is involved Chongo ayamba ma tuvi. What a shame. Kwena
Ba Justice, you are in the States?
Here we go again, greedy f000ls wants to spoil the youngman’s overseas career.
Fashion was loaned to Zanaco and Rangers have papers to prove this. Zamaco think Rangers are sleepy
Just give Nchanga a commission (cut) from the sale and this argument will be over
Is it a name for SOmeone Called FASHION or we are saying it is a fashion to transfer or sell players.
Nchanga clearly do not have this boys best interests at heart. If this nonsense leaks to Spartak they will hold off the deal and this will kill the boys career just like the nonsense that happened with Emmanuel Mbola. Nchanga the whole country is celebrating this great football news and now your shortsighted nonsensical greed seeks to destroy this joy. Please save us the bullsh!t and let the young mans career thrive!!!!!!!!
Why always the same story with zambian transfers? Do we not have regulation. FAZ step up.
You have started foolishness that is why zambia will nolonger improve bcoz evrytime is issues whenever there is a proper deal, ukutemwafye ifyabupuba *****s
Ifyabupuba tafyakapwe? Let the boy go thats why we dont have players in Europe bcoz foolish and stupid pipo.
How come Rangers never complained when Zanaco registered the player for the 2016 season? This is a script we know and there are many victims. Football administrators shud ‘ve honest when dealing with players. This is not just about zanaco vs rangers but also about the young man’s life and future
