  1. So, what was the basis of disqualifying Fred Mwila and Emmy Musonda? Why not allow people who have played the game and coached at international level take an active role in football administration. They understand the game and can shape a better future for the game. Look at Abedi Pele and Ghana, Michel Platini and France, and there are many more. Lesa wandi eeee!

    And we want Zambia Nationbal team to do better???
