  1. I don’t think Kalusha must be blamed for the selective/barring clause.Neither do I harbour the thoughts of blaming it on any other person. My stand is anchored on the fact that the barring clause is just one among a set of clauses for the organization. Zambians made a hullabaloo sometime back as they suggested that football house and Kalusha in particular run Zambian football like a tuckshop ( A native word was used …but I am sorry for not using it. I just can’t remember it). Today and amidist a crucial activity that needs regulatory measures some people turn around and blame Kalusha. They even suggest that he is jealousy. I think if that clause was not there Zambian football would perfectly suit the description you gave as a way it is run, not now. Even in schools we have entry requirements. Do those people could not qualify have interest only at the helm? Water your fruit tree and enjoy eating the fruits later. Don’t apply monkey tricks of visiting the tree only when it has fruits. The current process is so fair. It even informs you that you can appeal if you wish.

  2. My appear to the councillors voter wisely don’t voter for failure like Andrew kamanga we all saw how he failed at kabwe warrios and power dyanamo.zambia need a person like hanif Adams its pity that he is not standing he was the right person for the job

  3. I thought theres a legal commite that is responsible for the elections n the legal firm does not belong to Great Kalu. lets be fair n dont blame everyrhing on him. the candidate who dont make it are not even competing with kalu by the way. be fair people.

  4. my appeal to councillors, is font vote for useless people like kalusha Bwalya, who could not explain the use of the afcon cash, Brazil friendly and Japan friendly. a man who goes alone to borrow money for the association in his name. a man who could k100 each to the woman national team for their maiden appearance at the African cup of nation. a man played dibble standard with Nike international, who later put out of the deal because of his private arrangements with chines to produce the same design from Nike international. a man running a national team without kit supplier. kamanga did not fail at Kabwe worries, it was in his term that the player’s allowances were dabbled. he went to Kabwe at wrong time when everyone was been fired including Chicken Lwandamina. kamanga is a man atlist he has managed to keep his family

  5. I challenge you 90minutes tell me what kamanga has achieve as an administrate in football I mean at club level.you can’t tell me that he was at kabwe warrios at wrong time.ok what about at power dynamo tell me why he left?

  6. KAMANGA IS BETER THAN KALU,KALU HAS EVEN FAILED TO BUILD A GROUND 4 IS KSTAR,MUNTU WASHANI TEAM LYAKWE LIBOMFYA GROUND YAPA SCHOOL,SO COUNCILORS VOTE WISE,D

  7. May the best man win. I hope they’d no bad losers as Zambian football needs the contribution of everyone. Should Kalu lose I hope he will still remains available to do what he can for our soccer; he is by a long way Zambia’s most connected person in the world of soccer… Often in life it’s more about who you know than what you know!

  8. @ Kampinda ….You are right. Some people don’t see it. I am afraid the moment they have longed to have has come.Kalusha’s tenure will be remembered with regrets if he loses.

  9. my brother, you need to remember that it was kamangas idea to increase the pay for the player to about 50%. remember at that time Kabwe worriers had an unstable administration were coaches could be hired and fired within a twinkling of an eye.the same kalu was the one who created a platform for failure breeding ground at worriers over the mayuka saga.if kamanga had not put his foot down, mayuka would have been history by now just like Katumbi the owner of TP Mazembe cried foul over a faz big fish regarding Emmanuel Mbola’s transfer. kamanga provided the motivation and systems but at that time worriers relied on prisons leopard for fishing talent were there wasn’t quality. remember Kabwe worriers was one of the first or the first club to hire a foreign coach the same muhammad Fatty at his first stink with worriers. why should kalu continue if the national team can’t even afford a kit supplier, not to mention the coach. what of the k100 he gave the girls after the Namibia women afcon? look at the travelling arrangements for our national team, the list is endless for Mr kalu.

  10. Unfortunately people that talk too much are the ones that are not legible to vote. No matter how much you talk, voters already made their choices, and its good that this time around theres no simataa simataa anywhere near this AGM.Good for the growth of bola ya pazedi

  11. birds of the same feathers fly together. despite strong evidence of corruption at FAz some pepo still want to return Kalu as president. can it be said that they r corrupt as well??

  12. Lwandamina is a pathetic coach he wil again fail to knockd out horoya guinea like wht happened last time against kaloum stars of guinea, he cant win penalties he lost 5-4 to kaloum stars of guinea, 4-2 to guinea national team at chan championship & 4-2 to power dynamos in charity sheld, next it wil be horoya guinea

  13. The one person i would want to see run FAZ is Simaata Simaata, he can stand on his moral fiber and usually expresses well what he wants to say. I trust him as much as i trust Kalu who has stood on his commitment to his country, and is a professor in football in his own right. Some local university must find papers to give to such people, that’s what civilized countries do. is there a local Moses Katumbi, Mr. money, he cares for his players, unchallenged football success and has a great vision for the continent? He will convince you when he speaks in the media as well. Anyone lets continue with the democracy!!!!!

  14. Kalu is not perfect but he is the best FAZ boss ever. A lot has improved. We won Afcon. We dont hear stories allowances. Game is on Supersport. Camping has improved. We only suffer when government has to hire a plane, its not Kalu’s fault.

    My only criticism is the poor quality of Zambia jersey. I hope this will be Kalu’s last term.

  15. Problem ya Mu Z tobofya ubututu. We have made Kalu to be King. The time of the Late President Levy P. Mwanawasa MHSRIP; Kalu was booking at Pamodzi Hotel. The then President said Kalu should find a House in Zambia. He’s was not so special to be living a Hotel as if he was a Foreigner. Kalu did not meet the requiremernt to be the President of FAZ. cos he came from professional football. He could have found one club in Zambia and stay at that club for 5 years. Now is blocking others. Ciwamina Mbuzi kuluma Galu?

  16. mmmmm how long are we going to have a wrong FAZ president,he failed as a coach & has failed as a FAZ administrator.enough is enough govt spent a lot of money after he sacked bonneti which the govt paid knowing very well the consequences to come,who knows he had interest or it was a planned move with the sacked coach.twanaka na kalusha…friendly game brazil vs Zambia $1 000 000 was paid even after all expenses you can’t players $1 200 & Japan vs Zambia same amount if not less was paid to players lekeni aleya after all he’s based in south Africa let him do something there in south Africa.ANDREW & COMPANY CHANGE FOOTBALL IN THIS COUNTRY
