Oh dear, I was like what? Emmanuel Mayuka, at Zesco? And then again I read, Emmanuel Mayuka a defender from FAZ Division one side Kabwe Warriors. Is this guy related to Mayuka, the striker? I guess so.
This best of the YEAR, you win Zamfoot…
Zamfoot 4-1 Zesco
But anyway, the REAL Mayuka can still play for Zesco, the team has really professionalized.
Zamfoot what is the news about this if its not the Mayuka of SOTON. By the way you have achieved your aim of getting people to read the news with a nice caption. Congrats Zamfoot
It’s good journalism. Well done Zamfoot
interesting and insightful reads from Zambian reports.
FAZ Elections 2016: Kalusha Must Go; Enough of His Selfishness
It seems Kalusha’s selfishness is now cutting through all sectors of society. Why? When he played football we cheered him, but he never did anything for Zambia apart from kicking the ball. And whatever he did to craft the name we so much cheered on, he never could have done it alone. He needed the likes of Charles ‘Charlie Cool’ Musonda, Wisdom Chansa, Eston Mulenga, John Soko, Derby Makinka, Johnstone Bwalya, Timothy “Teacher” Mwitwa, Ashious Melu and many others.
That aside, let’s look at Kalusha’s contemporaries on the continent. George Weah – the man who would hire a plane to fly his country’s national team – to fulfill international friendly games abroad as part of Nations Cup preparations. The likes of Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha are big investors in Nigeria employing people in thousands, the Nwankoh Kanus, Daniel Amokachi, Sunday Olisehs are involved in projects that have benefited their people. In Ghana, Abedi Ayew Pele runs a Premier League Club, and built a 30 000 seater stadium. The big and strong Yeboah owns some estates with more than 300 mansions employing so many top managers and a thousand country men and women on his books. In Cameroun, the story is the same. Samuel E’to, Rodger Millas, Patrick Mboma etc have done what an ordinary eye can satisfactorily call wonders. These are men with huge academies with more than 5000 players, building community hospitals worthy more 2 million USA dollars.
In Ivory Coast haven’t we heard of the Didier Drogbas, Yaya and Kolo Toure brothers involved in big projects. These great players played great football abroad and for their nation just like Kalusha Bwalya, but have gone extra miles to put a big smile on their compatriots. They even recruited countrymen into playing football abroad. How many did Kalusha recruit or even recommended abroad and play professional football like him or even better than him? Need we ask Maybin Mugaiwa and his experience with our great son of the soil. How many teams does Kalu run in this country apart from a tattered Division 2 outfit called K-Stars, formerly Eagle Stars, playing on a rough surface just like any other team in the lower ranks?
Kalusha is said to have bought a house abroad, lost another and even married in a South Africa woman after the Holland experience. The only house he invested in Zambia, he has lost it to another crooked boy called Haruperi. Kalusha has since his return to Zambia stayed at a a hotel, and refuses to stay with us even in residential areas like kabulonga, Woodlands etc saying they are too dirt for him. This has made him to be a burden on FAZ confers. FAZ is perpertually broke because it has to pay for Kalusha’s upkeep at a FIVE STAR HOTEL.
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s not be fooled around that Kalu has done a lot for Zambia. If anything, it is actually Zambia that has done a lot for this man. Zambia paid Kalu in full to play for us, Zambia flew Kalu from abroad and back to play for us, Zambia gave Kalu all the equipment to play for us, Zambians cheered Kalu all the way to play for us, Zambia fed Kalu to play for us.
When Kalu had no job after his playing days, Zambia employed Kalu as a national team coach and paid him without nkongole and he even ended up taking two other roles at FAZ in his usual selfish style. What has Kalu paid back to Zambia? Am yet to see it! Rise up Zambia, rise up FAZ councillors and abash selfishness. Abash Kalu.
Such hatred for another individual can be a health hazard. It’s not worth it man.
3 weeks down the line and still no Proffessional Coach for the senior team . What’s going on iwe Kalu?
Lol, butti ba Zamfoot…lol. next headline will be Power Sign Messi. Then when you read it will be Messi Zimbabwe from Kafue Celtics
@Positive … kekekekeke at Messi at Power Dynamos.
The headline had me going yabaa.. Emma ku Zesco?
Kalu must go even if we were 2 vot 4 mulyokela as faz prsidnt am sure i can b the 1st 1.
Why are you concerned about Kalusha only? In your article you cite a couple of Nigerians, Ghanaians, etc who have invested in their countries after playing abroad but when it comes to your motherland you restrict yourself to scrutinizing only one individual in the person of Kalusha.This sounds like sheer hatred. We want to hear you including his contemporaries who played overseas too.
Ok Zamfoot you got me there. I actually shouted out a loud “what!!!” in the office….lol
The Zesco of Russia almost got confused lol
this Emmanuel Mayuka exist at kabwe warriors. he’s there for a long time now first played for their youth team before graduating to the main team. I watched him last year in game Warriors vs Zesco.
@TC when you point out facts about KALU, ba some of us thinks it is personal hatred, and yet it is not for you are just calling a SPADE a SPADE not a big wooden spoon, the truth be told here adminisrative ly kalu has failed us no two way traffic about it.
Anti kalu, will continue criticising him, he played football as late as 1988, people still want kalu to buy mighty a jessy. Mweene missing a penalte then people a say kalu is corrupt, zambia wins afcon people say great kalu, there is time for change so if you want to change the faz president just change.
