  1. Greediness at faz is killing football. Accountants are in most cases bad managers because of their auditors mind. I see this in politicians as well. Accountants are not good leaders, they’re mean

  2. Mr Kamanga has failed ,teams are pulling out of the competition because the money involved is not much to cover expense for the games.He has also failed the soccer fans and the country at large by refusing to appeal to fifa for the denied clear goal.
