@Sibs Profesionalism and maturity must be enhanced at all levels.Those are many and not school kids.if Players cant stay focussed,then they are not worth representing and wearing the national team colours.Zambia is playing at home and they go camp in South Africa-I really dont see sense in that.If they were to play some quality friendlies I would say yes.

I understand my Brother Justice’s fury as for sure, the Honourable Minister a good friend of mine ought to be more professional in handling FAZ or is it Kalu. How come the President is quiet on this whole Chipungu saga-reminds me of the DORA saga (maybe TOO LITTLE TOO LATE as and when he acts). I think it is more than meets the eye. Whether we like it or not, the MINISTRY is a stakeholder in soccer and derserves an ear as long as it doesn’t border on political interference. FIFA also need to draw a divinding line between interference from the government and insolence from FAZ otherwise it breeds a fertile ground for corruption in FAZ.

However i beg to differ with my brother Justice on Hanif as his passion for soccer i have seen since 1979 and he doesn’t receive alms like others and his is purely based on a sustainable business model and transparently unlike some invisible “SLAVE TRADERS we all know. Hanif has always been developmental (as i saw with the help he would give to friends while i was at UNZA between 1985 and 1990 that played for him while i played for BP in the Amateur league). In him is some good business acumen as can be seen from the DISCO business model from QUISTIC to CLOUDS to VALENTINOS to the present day outings all smelling of sustainability like LD that he has single handedly sponsored something even Ba Justice (Brave) and I (Kalampa) are yet to do with the big number of other fans in place.

Going forward, i urge all stakeholders to bury their differences so that we move forward as one.

Justice Kafusha :@Kolokombwa Iwe naiwe kolokombwa can you mention 2 players Adams has groomed and sold? and to which clubs?

Justice Kafusha :
Kolokombwa :
Justice Kafusha :and who is Aniff, a slave trader
What do you mean ba Justice. Please elaborate.
Kolokombwa mwaiche wandi this minister has always caused problems before important games and I should say I am tired of him. Before the games he is silent but when we about to play he starts his nonsense. This man is going to drive Zambian soccer into the grave. Just think of it we have suffered for a long time trying to rebuild and after all these years and just when we are about to be there As for Adam he sells players from LD as he wishes, he pockets all the cash, that is hi life, he lives out of the young players. He may seem a good man but I do not think so

I think referring to Hanif as a slave trader is a bit too strong. I detect a tinge of racism as well ! Hanif runs Lusaka Dynamos as football should be run - sustainably. He sells players yes, but they go to better clubs and earn a better living than they would have in Zambia. Dont forget that he also spends money grooming these players - thats called an investment. So when he sells and gets a return on his investment, surely theres no crime in that. If those returns also help him to live well, then well and good. I dont think he has ever pretended that he is running a charity. He makes money in an honest business which is above board. Making money in a legitimate way is not a dirty business. If you look at the number of players he has groomed, you will notice that you have been unfair on him.

@kadzidzi wa nzelu Of course the public want to support FAZ and our team, while Zain will be making profits using chipolopolo as a brand name. Infact there is no difference in asking fans to contribute directly from their pockets

Justice,

the surprising part is that there is already a considerable response from the general public

Mr. Chipungu is cfrying over the high gate takings.
Suprisingly all the tickets printed have been booked, meaning the high price is not an issue. In fact am told the tickets are not even enough to catter for people chasing to buy them.

Chipungu whats your problem Kanshi?
