The Court of Arbitration of Sport(CAS) has dismissed the appeal by Zambia’s soccer icon Kalusha Bwalya.
Kalusha had petitioned the Sports Arbitration body to compel the Football Association of Zambia(FAZ) Ethics Committee’s decision to bar him, to be declared null and void.
But the Court of Arbitration for Sport appointed Sole Arbitrator, Andre Branjes stated that the FAZ Ethics Committee arrived at the decision to make the candidature of Kalusha ineligible, properly and without prejudice.
The Court also stated that the proceedings currently in the Ndola High Court will not prejudice Kalusha as he was not part to the proceedings.
Kalusha was represented by Paulo Torcheti from Valencia Spain, while FAZ was represented by Hastings Pasi of Mando &Pasi Advocates of Kitwe

CAS 2020/A/6812 Kalusha Bwalya v. Football Association of Zambia
This is what he wanted to hear from the court.he couldn’t even make it to appear
Kalu please go into politics. You can stand in Mufulira and trust me you will be MP. Some of us who grew up with you as sportsmen in other disciplines it hurts to see you try so hard to be invaluable and on the same token disrespected.
Take a page from George Weah book.
When Zambia embraces all forms of corruption and the the world out there will not know is the most self delusional attitude to stand on.
We warned you Kalusha Bwalya is a former convict of corruption comfortable among PF circles.
I hope ba Kalu this is the end of it.
Please leave the fighting for position to younger guys. I personally would not like you lose the little respect that you currently enjoy.
All hands on deck fighting Corona
Good. Now contribute part of what you stole to the fight against corona. KZ, you too!
No business sense exhibited. He could have spent K1.5m just to get this far. That could’ve been a good start up CAPITAL for him to run a good farm.
Going back to the land.
The doors are shutting one by one for this thief. Now we are waiting for the door to the high court also to close.
Why can’t we build Kalu a monument and put him where he belongs, the archives. Imagine if KK wants to stand in 2021. Kalusha Bwalya had his chances to make a life for himself but wasted it on white women and hotel bills. Look at his friends Samuel eto, Drogba etc. This Galu did not even mentor a single player while he had a chance but chose not to even vote for Rainford Kalaba.

He had his time but wasted his money on white women and hotels.
No time for Kalusha we are now busy fighting coronavirus….Kalusha 30 years playing professional soccer in europe still no investment
There are deadends coming up for a number of people in the country who have gamed or are trying to game the system to their advantage. Muonekela manje bane. I believe even the most silly-looking Zed citizen is now aware of the fraudsters coming out of the woodwork one by one. Sangwa said READ. Muziwelenga amambala you will keep embarrassing yourselves so cabe.
He has nothing to do in life or he needs that job at all cost, Kalu most of your colleagues have made investments to keep them busy even after football tenure. Find something to keep you busy. I can assure you, you will still be respected rather than to keep fighting for a job at FAZ. You can also open early entrance to football for children at kindergarten level. It’s not too late stop comparing yourself with others feeljng wasted. Start now and recover your lost opportunities. The money you are losing for legal costs etc can be chanelled to covid-19 and we need your support at this moment.
There many in the PF govt who were pushing him to stand for election as FAZ president and were in a position to tell him that his was a lost cause. Abedi Pele of Ghana had his doubt about Kalusha’s suitability the very first time he sought the job. Kalusha belongs to the technical side of the game and not the political side. Andrew Kamanga’s having the last laugh. Further, Kalusha’s seen as Sepp Blatter’s man whom no court in Europe would accept to continue in football administration.
Great I like seeing people using the correct channels to challenge decisions. Let us embrace this type of maturity.
He should have thought about the future before starting to steal. Was simply behaving like a politician. You can thank your lucky stars you did not serve time, We have enough thieves in Zambia and certainly don’t need more in high offices, Get another job, that should someone want to employ you with your dirty track record. Sorry Mate!
Kalushya should have pushed for a job in GRZ to do with sports in Zambia.
But that would have required him to live in Zambia. Only at FAZ could he work by remote control from SA , so he reasoned.
He has to come back and live in Zambia If he wants to make a living out of Zambia.
I am sure PF can find a position for him in sports.
Kalu this is time to quit now, go coach a local football club or do something else. Don’t behave as if Zambia owes you anything, you had your share of opportunities and chances if you messed that then sorry it will only be more tough for you. Don’t waste your time chasing water falls use it wisely life is short we get Corona now.
Can we build Kalu a statue put him where he belongs. The Archives.
Great Galu’s appeal has been gassed
Very soon his muzungu wife will run away from him as well. I really feel pity on this visionless chap. Anyway, fyakuifwaila
He should go and manage Mufulira Wanderers. He should forget about a national position in football administration because his name is tainted for life. FIFA and other sports bodies will never forgive him.
Really laughable…to hell with this Great Galu ..PF ball mascot you will get a job next year at PF campaign rallies playing 10 touch challenge. Wasteman!!
Galusha Bwanya kunya bebele. Lisholyee, ukaiseleze kanamunungu tuwe!
This is what happens when you get legal advice from the likes of Bowman and Miles Sampa …really laughable!!
For the wages of sin is death.you see now great kalu where you been placed.you have reaped what you sowed
Nay, ain’t time to quit for Great Kalu. Still gut lots and lots of soccer in his bones. Seen him in that tb advert juggling the ball recently? He gut plenty and plenty is plenty. I wanna see him join our inpet skrike force in the senior national team. Great idea,great stuff, seen?
Kalusha do you know that even affiliation to a political party is one of the issues that can make you ineligible to run for office under all FIFA structures, when you came with that TSHirt from south Africa to come and take over FAZ, you mobilized PF cadres, just at that point you showed no maturity and no understanding of FAZ statues,. muletaima no kutaima ati naya mukupoka FAZ yandi.
It annoys me when people choose to comment negatively about the race of his wife. It seems racism is deeply entrenched in most of you. I wonder where you get it from because we Zambian are very open to other races. It appears majority of those picking on his wife are upnd supporters and yet their ugly leader always goes abroad to cry to the white man about losing elections. I have met kalus wife and she is a very good person who will do anything for anyone in need . If you have an ugly wife who doesn’t make you happy then please do not take it out on kalu. Go seek marriage counselling
Let him forget and smile he did nothing during his days at faz anaitaya Kamanga chabe
So it seems that in Kalu’s mind , and his sponsors , there is nothing wrong in taking a bribe. Nothing wrong at all.
Wena Kainyo Zulu, if Kalunyo Bwanya is your hero go worship him uko! We are sick and tired of thugs and thieves running things in this country, especially iwe ka Kainyo Malyamungo you will see, I will ensure that when Lungu leaves you are castrated! Kunya ka mambala wena!
Roy mudenda you seem very upset and frustrated. This is what happens when you allow a demigod to run for presidency for over a decade and then keeps losing. Doing the same thing all over again and expecting a different result is tantamount to being mad. Walipena iwe just like your party of choice. However, it is not too late for you to join the winning team and save yourself from a heart attack. Kz
JUST GOES TO SHOW THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN A P.F RUN FAILED ZAMBIA!
Majority of P.F supporting Zambians -98% see nothing wrong with dishonesty, corruption, a warped sense of entitlement & this has been normalised in Zambian society since the late old Demagogue Sata took over power. It had to take an arbitration court in a functioning foreign land to see & rule that “Kawalala Kalu -K.K” is that delusional to even think of running for F.A.Z office, with all the corruption history lurking under his P.F aligned collar.
Does one even wonder that Mbava Kalu had the guts to shamelessly go all that way whilst hoping for a different outcome, as he’s now that delusional & very accustomed to the Zambian functioning P.F philosophy of “Nachitolafye’ Mw!bala”?
Kalu takes a leaf from…
Cont;
Kalu takes a leaf from his Alpha & Omega of Grand Corruption & Plunder Chief J0nath@n Mukula Kadansa maWhisky -1, who had his Lawyers licence revoked & was barred from practicing Law after being found guilty of plundering a client’s cash.
THIS IS WELL & TRULY THE NORM IN FAILED SH!.TH,0LE REPUBLIC ZAMBIA TODAY & Kalu was hoping he would get away the same way corrupt individuals like Kit0tela & Kitalu Kilufya are allowed to function despite being unrepentant Corrupt goons.
ONLY IN ZAMBIA COUNTRY MEN & WOMEN, ONLY IN FAILED SH!.TH0LE ZAMBIA!!
Lastly, P.F,KUYABEBELE!
Good court outcome..lets move on people.. and Kalusha thanks for your contributions in the development of soccer as a sporting discipline in Zambia. Next please..
