You don’t need lenses to see that, Andrew Kamanga being the president of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) boils the blood of many people–to be precisely–those from the previous regime.
It’s not a secrete weapon, that people are hellbent to hurl mad on the FAZ president, to make it look as though he is unfit in this role of taking Zambian football to Canaan.
There has been many attempts, but off target, if possible to purge the successful businessman out of plot number one in Zambian football, otherwise known as Football house.
Who would forget the joker in the former Nopafa Secretary General, Michael Chimponda and his cartoon sort of a proposed motion to impeach Kamanga?
Even when a letter from FIFA indicated that, it was the former FAZ Secretary General, George Kasengele who requested the world governing body to reduce the electoral colleges, the feller chose to be myopic and insisted it was Kamanga’s making.
This [reduction of electoral colleges] and many transformations have not been appreciated by some sectors. They are hurting because, they no longer enjoy some certain special rights.
Thus, it’s really difficult to know how authentic the complaint–of Abuse of power–by Kelvin Chipili and Damiano Mutale.
Is it just another one of many bitter driven complaint or a goodwill? Is it just case of some spoiled brats wanting Kamanga out because he is preventing them to enjoy certain rights?
The receipts from Savoy hotel, were the Abuse of power act is said to have transpired: is it proof enough? If it’s true, he did it, was it an act of being carried away as a newbie at football house?
FA Presidents are not on salaries, but they sacrifice personal funds in the runnings of football. Of course they have shortcomings, but their inputs are excess in comparison to what they get.
The pantomime politicking time has passed. It’s time to break the sweat, and if that is not happening, people should take down notes and present them at the end of Kamanga’s tenure. The councillors will then be able to judge, whether their vote was wasted.
Otherwise, positive things have been happening since Kamanga took over power at Football Association of Zambia. Of course, he has shortcomings, but so far so good.
