FAZ General Secretary Ponga Liwewe has quit his position at Football House.
Ponga announced his decision to leave the Chief Executive Officer post at FAZ in a statement on Friday.
“I wish to announce that I will be leaving the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) at the end of May 2018 after two years at the helm of Zambian football,” Ponga said.
“I will be returning to the private sector to work in the fields of sports sponsorship and broadcasting across the African continent.
“I wish to thank the President of the Football Association of Zambia and the executive committee for the opportunity to have worked with them during this period.
“The process to select the new General Secretary is underway, and as provided in the FAZ constitution, the public will be notified.”
yaba ok noted, lets wait and where this move is going in Kamanga admin.
This admin is one of failures. They accept failing to qualify as if it is a staple food. Thry think it is normal. NO! We are a footballing nation. People have even died for football so don’t play around with our mission. Zambia is not an also ran. Thid current FAZ seem to be happy with losing.
They are so unambitious. Our national team just has no hope with Kamanga as leader.
He would rather sit in the studio as pundit …rather than the front line!!
Thanks Ponga, efiya abaume ifi, just cool exit like Harry Kalaba.
Thank you Mr Ponga Liwewe, you tried your best.
I cant imagine for the life of me Ponga leaving this lucrative post.By the way what happened to the defamation suit in SA?
Thats how real men react to mediocrity-laden entities. A real man does not hang on but moves on in an ascention mode, ready to face and conquer new mountains. After all, monotony is very unfriendly to the very well being of humans
LEAVE WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT, WHY WAIT FOR MAY U WANT TWO MONTHS SALARY? WILL IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? U FAT ALBART
C’mon, stop exhibiting ignorance publicly, its called saving notice
Serving notice
At the moment FAZ is in bad shape and Ponga shares the blame, he was more of a businessman than a General Secretary. Your departure must be pronto, you’re headed for a serious grilling at the AGM. That now leaves Ndanga to also leave on his own, the football fraternity won’t miss you
Why leave when the AGM is just around the corner? Just accept that you have failed. You thought it was going to be a walk in the park? This FAZ is laden with uninspiring characters who think football should be run like a conglomerate. Anyways, you have been man enough to come in the open and run to SA to start castigating others as a pundit the very things that you yourself has failed to achieve, good riddance, next should be Kamanga.
Nga illya Us10 000 mwali chita clear???
Smart guy. Knows when to jump out of a sinking ship.
Dont replace him with Simataa Simataa
This is what happens when one uses an institution to champion his or her ambition. He used the association to trigger his next massive job. I like it. All the best Liwewe. And job well done.
You have a point…he saw he couldnt do the job so jumped ship before AGM.
faz,faz ba FAZ!BWAFYA
Remember he was on contract. May be he has been informed that his contract wont be renewed.
Congratulations PL! Leave the stage while they are still clapping. Wishing you all the best that this life has to offer.
You have one thing, a branded name.
With Great Kalu, we would be heading to Russia by now. But the hatred of KAMANGA for Kalu has destryed Soccer in Zambia.
Look at what Herve Renard is doing in Morocco. The man recruited by Kalu, won us the Africa Cup but still hated by Andrew.
Ponga Kabwalala ($10,000), Tell us Kabili
Which Kalu naimwe. The con man?
