The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has named seasoned football consultant Ponga Liwewe as the new General Secretary for the Association.
According to information filtering from Football House, Liwewe takes over from George Kasengele who held the position under Kalusha Bwalya and he will be deputised by lawyer and player status committee chairman Lombe Mbalashi.
The FAZ SG job has been a subject of much debate in the past two months and the appointment of Liwewe will be seen as an indication that FAZ president Andrew Kamanga is slowly stumping his authority at Football House after his close associate (Liwewe) was left off the initial shortlist by the panel which reviewed the applications.
Liwewe the son to legendary commentator Dennis Liwewe previously worked at Supersport.
FAZ has not previously had a deputy SG but the executive committee has taken the move to create the position in the Kamanga era.

Great appointment. He is good leader lots of experience in the Corporate world. ??????

A big hand clap for the Andrew Kamanga administration. Ponga is a great son of Zambia with massive years of experience in football development, strong corporate links and therefore adds real value to the local game of Bola yapa Zed. You are welcome Ponga Liwewe. You have our full support.
Great appointment- now get down to work coz there is no time to waste. There is business to be closed- AFCON- WORLD CUP- COSAFA- Under 20 …
Great appointment indeed. We need people like these in FAZ administration. We have had riffraffs for too long.

Congrats Ponga! When you sit down in your new office at football house the first thing you should look into is updating the FAZ website. A very good appointment by FAZ.
Well this good news. Let us support the new admin. Good weekend
Zamfoot blocked me because I speak the truth.
Welcome back Tc soccerman. We value your contributions but will not tolerate exchange of insults.
Thanks zamfoot for letting me back in. As for those that were wondering why I have been quiet with regards to the new Jersey deal, I do believe Kamanga is doing all he can considering the damage that was left by a corrupt Kalu regime. I would also like to see the anti-corruption bring to book all those that stole from Faz including Kalu. This will deter Kamanga and his crew from stealing from Faz. But again one can not count on anti-corruption as they corrupt themselves, so Zambian citizens are at loss. It’s a pity.
Good move by the new admin
Great move Kamanga! Now go for thr Replica jersey scandal! Heads must roll. Unearth all scandals! Then ban the so called. Legends and company! Finish.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Good move on appointing ponga as in with the deputy post is it also in line with Fifa,some education people do Fifa have deputy s g ?
I like it, this is advancement, let give them the support they need. Pliz kamanga make sure you take us where we belong. Many thanks for the appointment
well Zambian football kamanga and ponga team up for the best of Zambian soccer well done soon we will the changes for the betterment of Zambian soccer.
I cant wait to see the best result result comes when you have good management and I think you have that now
I Thik De Apointment Of New SG Wil Bring Infrastructure Development Especialy De Stadium.Go Ak Go
Just reading yo comments ‘grammar problem’. #WillLeaveItRightHereQuick.
I will not sing to much praises for this administration until I see what they can do neither will I bring them down but all I can say is most come in sheep’s skin. If I can remember well this is the way people sung praises to the late Zambian President F.T.J Chiluba and thereafter He sold their Praises for 1 ngwee. They never even realised that He was destroying the Country. All I can say to the Kamanga Administration is “SHOW YOUR SELVES SO THAT WE CAN SEE YOU” I know some characters in FAZ personally and no one can lie to me about them even if they appear like Sheep….
We need a coach .
