Kalaba was Zambia's star player in Angola
ZAMBIA midfielder Rainford Kalaba has insisted that he will not join Egyptian side Zamalek.
Portuguese side Sporting Braga loaned Kalaba to Zamalek for six months.
Kalaba said in an interview in Ndola yesterday that he has told his agent to withdraw the six months contract with Zamalek.
“ I do not want to go there. No-one can force me. I am old enough to make my decision. I did not get any ngwee from Zamalek. What I know is that Zamalek paid Braga for the loan,” he said.
Zamalek are demanding a US$25,000 refund, which they paid as part payment to Braga for Kalaba to shift. Kalaba said he will be training with Zesco United.
“Since I am not going to Zamalek, I will be training with Zesco United. I have three months remaining before the loan expires and thereafter I will go back to Braga to hear whether they want me or not,” he said.
Kalaba signed a five-year deal with Braga, which expires in 2012.
He also said he had some personal problems to sort out here.
Kalaba had a good outing at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola where the Chipolopolo were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Nigeria.
He was voted man-of-the-match in the 1-1 draw with Tunisia and went on to contribute a goal in the 2-1 win over Gabon.

Kalaba, you are an employee of the club. As I have said before, in most instances players have very little say on where they go on loan.
In anycase, why is it that Zambian players are continually going ‘on strike’ instead of sitting down with their agents and the club to plot a way forward?
Alex on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 3:40 PM
No one should force you dear. Egypt has never been a good destination for our players and history is our witness. Am watching a friendly between choma eagles and livingstone pirates. Still 0-0.
Logic on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 4:11 PM
I hope I’m wrong but Kalaba may be be taking avery big gamble here by opting to stay inactive for three months till the end of his contract with Bragga. Your attitude can take you far but it can also bring you down if not checked. This guy needs to go back to Portugal, present his case to Bragga as to why he doesn’t want to go to Zamalek andgo from there. This idea of just kicking it with your homies in the hood is a major career killer. Whats the deal with Zambian players always having personal problems to sort our whenever they come home on National duty? Maybe they need to start employing personnal assistants that can take care of these issues so they focus on football. I sincerely hope this decision doesn’t come back to bite Kalaba cause I would hate to see such a talent go to waste
Alexander Liwana,RSA on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 4:13 PM
Kalaba is too good to play for any club in Africa now and he does not deserve to go that muslim country.I love him very much for him to go there.I want him to play for any club in Spain and for now it is better for him to be doing practice with Zesco in Zambia until the right club comes in his way.
Big Steve from SA on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 4:14 PM
This is the sort of advise that makes our boys fail.
Kalaba mwaiche you have to weigh your options and see whats best for your career, sitting in Zambia training with zesco or six months at zamalek playing in one of the top African leagues. Braga are obviously going to be very reluctant to take you back on because all pro clubs know the effect of one bad fruit in the basket. Going awol is stupid and childish. If you dont want to play for zamalek why are you not in Portugal discussing your issue with Braga? believe you me the star that shone at the recent Afcon will be very easily forgotten after this episode. Dont think you are more clever than the rest all because of the talent in your legs. It is very obvious these days why Jacob is a star in Europe and players like you and Felix are not. Had it been you you would never have lasted four seasons in French lig2 until a good opportunity to play top flight in Holand came. You would have been moaning and groaning and training at Zesco. Ba Zed player mulansekesha in two seconds umutwe nishi waba bigger than three footballs put together.
nsomba on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 4:45 PM
I totally agree with big steve kalaba you mean six months of getting $5000 less is a very big problem for you .No one is trying to force to go to zamalek but once you stay at zesco god forbid you get injured do you think braga will take you back please kalaba do not look at this situation from only one point of view Football careers do not last a liftime four years ago bene Gift Kampamba, Colins Mbesuma isaace chansa were dependables in our sqaud today we can do without them do you want us to be talking about you in the same vain ? yenda mufana ku egypt or go back braga and air your views or differences on a table properly with braga not so chabe mungo kambila through ma newspaper .Me as Zambian who loves our game and you our players is pleading with to go back to braga and settle your differences now .

The dude signed the contract. What is a contract. A contract is a legal document one signs biding that person to a club, firm etc.
Kalaba has no choice on this one and this just shows his little tompwe. Let him drink and we see what will come out, after all it is life

I think Kalaba is just being childish and to tel u the truth i dont think he’l ever make it in europe, am not cursing him but. I have said it before and i’l say it again west african countries have many players in europe because they dont put money first. Zambian players have not reached the levels of christiano ronaldo who are paid £100, 000 per week. I was told players from senegal were sleeping 30 in a room with a friend who invited them to france to look for clubs and all of them today are big guys playing for big clubs where the started from no one can believe. Please lets humble ourselves and start small we’l enventualy rise thru the ranks. Kalaba shuld go to egypt and make better for himself.

After that whole Mbola issue I think FAZ are the last people one should listen to in terms of their club careers. This is sad on Kalabas part…. you need to go sort this out with your employers Bragga. Not be in Ndola kicking it with Zesco, Zesco should also advise this young man to go back to Bragga. Seriously guys, what is six months in Zamalek… especially one of the best leagues on the continent, this is where you start to see who can make it in professional football or not. Zambians have the talent down, but the mental aspect is lacking ……. No one is going to want Zambian players with this attitude, Thank God Christopher Katongo and Jacob Mulenga are representing us with some dignity and drama free.
Asilikale on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 5:35 PM
Kalaba listen to me dnt go to zamalek,u jst be blocked frm getting a better than zamalek.I support you grt.
Am surprised evn the wise in this blog av become cowards,kalaba knws whatever is worthy his foot and the team to fit his profile.Just like drogba wudnt signup a trick contract with newcastle united.
Kalaba ua the man.
Smm-SoJC on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 5:48 PM
well … what is right should be done immediately … Kalaba you are a great player but if you signed the loan contract then you have to fulfill it after all its only three months remaining, though i doubt if Zamlek will be comfortable …. can only wish you and all our players the blessings and wisdom of GOD to overshadow you in all your dealings … Go Kalaba Go Mighty Zambian players and above all dear Chipolopolo … GOD bless the Republic … Shalom
Abena kitwe in Gabs on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 5:52 PM
while Kalaba is still playing mind games Zambian players were doing what is best known of Zambian soccer in Botswana.Micheal Bulaya scored a brace to help his team Notwane beat Muchudi Centre Chiefs 3-1.Chiefs consolation came from another Zambian Muweke Musonda.Another Zambian player,Bernard Simakwenzi was on scorer s sheet as his team Extension Gunners beat GABORONE UTD 2-1.

Nice one! we hear less from that side, wish them all the best as the only Zambian reputable player from that side was arguably Masauso Tembo.
SoccerLover on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 6:34 PM
A piece of advice to my good friend rainford….you are taking a big risk by staying in ndola and not going to either braga or zamalek,whether you signed a loan contract with zamalek or not,i still think and hope that you come back to your senses and remember that you are still employed by braga.And by you stayinf awol you give braga all the rights to take legal action against you including even freezing your salary.i believe and trust that even in your contract with braga there is definately a part that says braga have the right to loan you to other teams.And i really believe that as a player you need to play week in week out to keep form and by you just training with zesco for six months,because definately you cant play for zesco if braga dont clear you of which i am sure they wont,you will lose form and lose market ofcourse….there is no team in this whole world that would like to have a player who breeches his contract.Football these days is not just about how good your talent is,but also about the mental strentgh and attitude.so my advice to you my dear friend is that dont waste your talent,just pack your bags and go and sort out your issues with braga.

simms modern on Mon, 8th Mar 2010 8:28 PM
it is sad that the loan issue is taken without consuiting the player.fifa must change some of these things as the players performance can be affected.
kalaba must be clear to braga and tell them that his heart does not allow him to go to zamalek.I know contracts must be respected but braga are not being realistic.it is like mbola signing for spur and spurs loan him to tp mazembe.Mwana go to braga and sort out this issue before it is too late.wibonfya ichifukushi mwana.

Simms, that is the point. It is up to Kalaba to redouble his efforts so that his club don’t send him on loan. If Kalaba was doing well in training at Braga they wouldn’t send him on loan.
A lot of you guys on this blog support Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea etc. Those clubs are forever sending players on loan to lower division sides to play and gain experience. Do you see those boys going on strike and refusing?
Guys I have to be honest and say that this indiscipline is becoming a disease in Zambia. I really think something needs to be done.

By training with zesco,kalaba will be doing the exact same thing that he has been doing for the last 2 years or so..training with a club for the whole week but sitting in the stands on match day..at this time ZAMALEK is the best option for him,he has been to about 3 or4 different clubs in europe and at all of them he has failed to perform,we all know what a great talent kalaba is,but why is it that all the coaches at those clubs have all found him to be surplus to requirements??its time to change things and what better way than to join a big egyptian club who rate you very high, playing at zamalek would have even helped him in europe in future because of the levels of play..just look at how amr zaki performed in the epl when wigan got him on loan from zamalek 2 seasons ago..its because of things like these that make one respect jacob mulenga even more because i dont think he can do such a thing…

SIMATAA SUSPENDED
The football association of zambia(FAZ) has indefinitely suspended ZAFCA general secretary simataa simataa from all football activities for alleged gross misconduct
FAZ communications officer erick mwanza has told MUVI TV sport that the decision was made during the executive committee meeting held in lusaka yesterdayk
Mwanza says simataa’s suspension affects his positions as ZAFCA general secretary and makumbi stars coach.

Guys supporting Kalaba:
How many coaches in Europe are going to want a player who exhibits such attitude. Who goes awol and decides he is going to train with another club, does he honestly expect to get paid or even find first team football at Braga who might actually make the champions league by the way. This is not the behaviour of a future star, this behaviour is what lands guys with talent falling off. You guys will be the first to say umuntu alipwa, but you are supporting such behaviour. What is wrong with playing in Egypt?? If SA is a dream land then North Africa is where the cream of the crop is, lets not forget Amunike started at Al Ahly in Egypt and ended up at Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon and so on, Amr Zaki, Mido all these guys. When was the last time an SA club won a continental championship…. lets be serious and lets help the guy out by giving sound advice notti ama Labishi of supporting poor attitudes.

This action by Kalaba is not good. I can not see any other European team taking him on if he is blacklisted. As someone pointed out, I don’t see too many coaches taking a chance on destabilizing their locker rooms. Kalaba needs to be in Portugal right now taking up his case with Braga whatever his misgivings with the loan deal.

I think its good that way coz simataa is one person who has always advocating for troubles at football house and am sure this issue of petitions at faz secritariat and the likes could be one who is masterminding it just to bring confusions at faz house. One can critise, but not the way simataa has doing it. Football should not like politics if simataa has a problem with the guys at football house, its better he approach them so that they talk once and for all. @Sibs

1. Guy we have had Mbesuma going awol so many times at the clubs hes played because of ‘personal problems’.
2. Felix dissapeared for a while after the nations cup in Angola and just before the nations cup all in the name of ‘personal problems’.
3. ‘Freedom’ Singuluma dissappeared just before the World Cub Championships in Dubai and his coach was busy looking for him. The guy was dropped from the final team travelling cos he didn’t pitch up in Zim for training. The guy missed the best opportunity to show case his talent at the highest level. Same story ‘personal problems’.
4. Fwayo Tembo just walked out on Etoile Du Sahel when he had a legally binding contract. Good he is back now.
I want to know this ‘personal problem’ nichi nyama bwanji ? What ‘animal’ is it that it’s affecting some of our players ? Because Kalaba also is affected by it.
Like it’s been said when your team sends you on loan you just have to go cos you have no say. Maybe this would have been a blessing in disguise for Kalaba. Who knows he could have made a name for himself at Zamalek and his fame could have been heard somewhere where it matters.

Kalaba Kalaba, i think he has an inferiority complex. This boy was in France for one year at Nice and failed. He has been in portugal for more than a year. He still could not command a place. In an effort to give him chance, his club have been loaning him so that he can prove himself. Now I can see, he likes it here in Zambia, ndola, that is where he shines and he is a star. He would rather play for ZESCO. Well, we can not force him, But surely age is not ticking backwards.
Zimandola on Tue, 9th Mar 2010 9:08 AM
This boy will yurn out to be a disappointment if he is not careful. How can a professional footballer claim that he will maintain fitness just by training with zesco? Doesnt he know that game time is also cardinal to maintaining form. We are tired of hearing stories to do with players signing contracts without reading them.

Justice Kafusha on Tue, 9th Mar 2010 9:58 AM
Most of you are missing the point regarding the Kalaba issue. First of all Kalaba signed a contract with Zamalek, whether he did not read it or not, that contract is binding. The best Kalaba could have or should do is to travel to Portugal and inform his club he regreted having signed the contract and was not willing to play in Egypt. His club was going to sort out this and the same time allowing him to train with them Braga.
The mistake the boy has made is that he has chosen to stay in Zambia. He is still a Sporting Braga player hence the need for him to be in Portugal and not training with Zesco. What happens if he picks up an injury while training with Zesco? The other issue is that Braga will not pay him while he is Zambia and they may even decide to terminate his contract. Where will the boy end up? So far he has been many places and the story is the same
I rest my case

I do not think it is true that Kalaba signed a contract with Zamalek and later decides otherwise.I may be wrong,believe me you these confusion that are going at FAZ may have something to do with the Kalaba’ issue just wait and see.I for one can’t trust Kalu no matter what,not because i hate him no but for what he has become doing anything as long as he gets what he wants.

He has said it himself. He said he signed without reading it, but that is no excuse. The best thing Kalaba should do is to go back to his club and have a chat with the club officials, it is as simple as that
Justice Kafusha on Tue, 9th Mar 2010 1:13 PM
I do not think I am blaming either but my point is he should try and go back to his club and tell them how he feels then stay and train with the Braga first team and play some games even for the reserves until the end of this season. After that Braga should tell him whether they want him to stay let him go
Justice Kafusha on Tue, 9th Mar 2010 1:15 PM
Correct me on this one maybe I have not followed football of late. Has Sporting Braga loaned Kalaba to Zesco? Has Sporting Braga given Kalaba permission to be in Zambia? If the answers are yes then there is no problem
chamz on Tue, 9th Mar 2010 1:49 PM
It seems, the club or agent after realising that Kalaba can not sign two contracts in Europe in one decided to send him to Zamalek, Kalaba also (ubupupu) just signed without thinking and is only realising now. But really, I don’t blame him, the boy can even play for Arsenel.

Its advise on the young Kalaba’s part. Though there is his side of the story which l might not be privy of but legally can someone refuse to be transferred. At Zamalek the young man can learn the tactical awareness of the Egyptians which can improve his football as opposed to Zesco.

I think FAZ should be educating these young men so that they understand legal matter concerning there contracts before complaining on the term on the contracts they sign. Kalaba once you drop ink on that paper, you agreed to play for Zamalek and zamalek is a fomidable side in the History of African Football. It has produced stars!!!. Kalaba is talented and one has to develop it to maximise his potential .
