Martin Musunka has resigned as president of the Zambia Rugby Union with immediate effect.
Musunka announced his resignation during the union’s council meeting held in Kabwe on Saturday.
He was re-elected union president earlier in January after completing his initial two-year term.
“Yes, I stepped down at yesterday’s council meeting. This is in the best interest of rugby development because we continued having camps pulling in different directions,” Musunka said.
Four executive committee members had quit the rugby body before Musunka threw in the towel.
Ex-vice president Owen Muhango, Moono Muleya and Sam Simwanda all left the union this year.
Meanwhile, union vice President John Chibuye has taken over the top position from Musunka in an interim capacity.
Chibuye and the remaining executive committee members will serve in an interim capacity for 90 days after which flesh elections will be held.
When H.Janza going to quit?Ghanaian coach also quit and the previous Serbian coach is to be re appointed.Next up is Herve Renard if you consider that Ivory coast have only scored 3 goals against 5 conceded.Please FAZ reappoint HR if you don’t want to be embarrassed by Niger next month.
Hey not HR. He is boring. Let him get fired by the Elephants. I m sure Malawi will need him. We need an exciting coach
good afternoon, Herve Renard isnt a good coach, the person who built the 2012 africa cup winners was the FAZ President didnt wait. Herve Renard came in when the man the had done everything.
I will suggest we start looking at local players who beat Sudan
Soccer Analyst and James Chilufya- you are both twits! Firstly, article is talking about Rugby Chief resigning! Secondly, your soccar analysis is extremely poor! Why should Janza resign- because Zambia has only played two games under his (Janza) watch! Your unuseful minds might have mistakenly taken Zambia Rugby Football Union to be a FAZ affiliate (confirming your illiteracy). Thirdly, HR aint coming back no more! Ask ka kalu! However, If you told me that Rugby is just as lucklustre in Zambia- I wouldnt have agreed any more!
#MB Can we avoid insulting each other on the blog.Don’t evr think in yopur minute screwed barain that we can;t insult back.
What is your point exactly?
We are not in interested in rugby because Zambia has never been a rugby nation and will never be one .It’s too dangerous a sport to play and besides we don’t have medical specialists who can handle some of those injuries sustained by players.
The point remains HJ must step down.You don’t need many games to see that HJ is clueless.
Stephen Keshi our role model has just been fired!Chipolopolo under HJ will remain under achievers period
Rugby, Do we even play this game in Zambia? For 50 years of playing it we have only noisemaking Diggers to show for it. At least Kenya can parade their world class sevens team and that is called progress. Progress is a word that doesnt exist in the ZRU dictionary..
Chibuye and the remaining executive committee members will serve in an interim capacity for 90 days after which flesh elections will be held. What is “flesh elections.” kikikkikiki
‘Flesh elections’? Now I can understand when some people can’t pronounce ‘r’, but does that have to extend to the keyboard!
musuka was a fool in rugby. he failed to promote it the way peter manda did when he was the boss of rugby union. So ba John make your way known and the auditor General should have a look into the books of ZRFU since they get some funding of British Pounds of 60 000 every year.
