FOOTBALL administrator Simataa Simataa has urged the  Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) to follow its constitution in the administration of soccer in the country.

Simataa was commenting on the directive by the National Sports Council of Zambia (NSCZ) that FAZ should not table the case of vice president Richard Kazala and Committee member Blackwell Siwale.

FAZ will this Saturday hold an extraordinary council meeting at Lusaka’s Government Complex to discuss a number of issues regarding Zambian football.

Last November, FAZ president Andrew Kamanga suspended Kazala and Siwale for  ‘Gross Misconduct’ contrary to the association’s constitution.

“The [FAZ] constitution demands that if someone is suspended rightly or wrongly, the matter must be resolved by the FAZ council with 90 days.

“Those 90 days elapse tomorrow, and if it’s not discussed tomorrow it becomes unconstitutional for anyone to discuss this issue thereafter. On that I am prepared to break ranks,” Simataa said

He said this when he called on a live radio programme ‘Let the People Talk’ on Lusaka’s Radio Phoenix.

He said if the issue of the suspension of the two members is not discussed, then the councillors should forget about tabling it in future and the duo should be allowed to go back to work.

Meanwhile, Simataa said the association should have curried an impact assessment of the 18 team league before proposing to increase the number to 20.

“They should have been an analysis and they should have told us why we are moving from 18 to 20, they did not tell us and I am sad that there was no analysis done,” he said
