Mwansa Kapyanga, a football administrator from Kasama Youth Academy intimated to soka25east.com that NOPAFA Counsellors were outraged and disowned Chimponda’ statement.
“Counselors from The province attacked and disowned his statements and letter”, said Kapyanga.
He added “Take note that the impeachment calls are for the Emergency Council meeting as the Annual General meeting has a Constitutional agenda”.
Chimponda has ignorantly accused FAZ President, Andrew Kamanga of wanting to exclude lower tier clubs from voting after FIFA instructed the reduction of the electoral college.
The NOPAFA General Secretary says, according to a hint from a FIFA represantative, it was Kamanga who approached the Football world governing body to impose the reduction of the electoral college number of the Zambian FA.
