Power Dynamos vice chairman George Lungu has been slapped with a life ban by FAZ Disciplinary committee.
Lungu was found guilty for allegedly inciting Power supporters in assaulting FIFA referee Wellington Kaoma in last Saturdays 1-1 away draw against Forest Rangers at Trade Fair Grounds.
Kaoma sent off Power defender Maybin Chishimba for a second half handball in the box that saw Forest score from the resultant penalty.
He later denied Power from similar circumstances after a Forest player handled the ball in the box.
Video evidence from the match shows Lungu shaking hands with one of the alleged assailants after the incident.
“We relied on the report of the match commissioner, the referee and the clip from the actual match and we found Mr. George Lungu the vice chairman of Power Dynamos guilty of inciting violence at that particular match,” FAZ disciplinary committee chairman Anthony Kasolo said.
“And according to Article 92 of our constitution we have slapped a life ban on Mr. George Lungu from any football activities or entering any stadium or having anything to do with football.”
Powers have also been fined K5000 for unruly and violent behaviour by their fans and the club has been ordered to pay for damage caused to the perimeter fence at Trade Fair Grounds after the game.
Meanwhile, Forest escaped any sanctions despite concerns over the apparent lack of adequate security at the stadium.
And Nkana team manager Charles Chatatazya has been banned from all football activities until the end of this season.
Chakatazya was sanctioned after verbally abusing a match official after Nkana’s Barclays Cup quarterfinal exit at the hands of Green Buffaloes on September 15.
Nkana have been fined K1000 over the incident.
The Fines are to little to have impact in restraining bad behaviour.
Imagine, just 5pin?
I think the fine is too much on the vice chairman, may be he should have been given five years or so. Any way I don’t support what he did.
I LOVEMORE CHIKOPA HAVING STUDIED YOUR RULING ON LUNGU HAVE UNDER SECTION 19 CAP2 REVERSED YOUR JUDGEMENT WHICH LACKS MERIT.THERE IS NO WAY U CAN RELY ON HAND SHAKING AS EVIDENCE NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY WERE TALKING.(2)WAS LUNGU PHYSICALY INVOLVED IN ASSULTING THAT ASSULT THE ANSWER IS NO.IF ANY PART INVOLVED WIL BLOCK LUNGU FROM PARTICIPATING MEANING HE OR SHE WILL ATTRACT A CONTEPT OF COURT
The charge is inciting violence ba Chikopo.
mmm… muzungu wa kajo,
inciting violence through hand shaking?
quite strange.
I believe a hand shake was after the the incident. The question in the minds of the discplinary committee should have been: Was it (the handshake) congratulatory or was it because they met for the first time in that day? These questions needed to be expolited to the later so as to arrive at an informed judgement. The punishment to Mr Lungu is harsh to say the least
we Zambians are dull. honestly how can we allow a physical trainer to take charge of the chipolopolo and yet we have our own qualified coaches. shame to Gtreat Chika (KALU)
@@MATONDOLO I NOW BELIEVE THAT U CAN BE A VERY GOOD CHIEF JUSTICE THAN THIS STRUGLING MAMA CHIBESAKUNDA.IMAGINE IS THERE ANY LAW WHICH FORBIDS CITIZEN FROM SHAKING HANDS AT A PLACE WHERE THERE IS VAOLENCE.SHAKING HANDS IS NOT A CRIME IN ZAMBIA
but it is crime not to unlock your caps when typing ba judge chikopa naimwe.
infact you look learned by typing in small letters.
Mature yoh have made my day. Very mature resposes indeed. I think Ba Chikopa thinks he is yelling in caps. Kekeke
A police case needs to follow
can he at least watch football on tv?
Or even at least dream of anything football related, or even have fantasies for the daughter of a footballer, for example?
