Lwandamina: spared the blushes as his new side was held 1-1 by Nkwazi
Former Zambia defender Bronson Chama last gasp screaming free kick spared the blushes of new Kabwe Warriors coach ‘Chicken’ George Lwandamina to rescue a point at newly promoted Nkwazi.
The Police outfit featuring former Portugal and South Africa based influential midfielder Perry Mutapa looked to have stolen the three points with a second half headed goal only to concede at the death.
This season opening fixture was a drab affair where it would have given one pleasure to doze than follow the proceedings on the pitch particularly in the opening period.
In fact the first half was so lackluster that the only excited fans were those of Nkana who were in good spirits as they kept their ears at Nkana Stadium where Nkana were held by Red Arrows 1-1.
The police brass excited the fans more at half time to the applause of a near capacity crowd at Imboela than the entire first half display.
The second produced drama as Nkwazi went ahead with a headed goal and looked to have given coach Osward Mutapa the perfect start with literally seconds remaining in regulation time only for former Under 23 Zambia international and CHAN qualifiers Zambia squad member Chama to thunder home a cracking free kick at the death to quieten the home fans and send the Kabwe faith into delightful delirium.
Adubelo Phiri back from Angola made sure the spoils were shared between Benjamin ‘Kawilo’ Chilongo and Matthews Phiri in Kitwe in the eargely awaited return to the big time tie for Zambia’s most glamour side Kalampa.
But Green Buffaloes have continued their perfect start under new coach Agrey Chiyangi by shooting to the summit of the table with a clinical 2-0 away win at Roan Utd inLuanshya.
Goals from Morgan Hanjema and Brian Chilando ensured Chiyangi got three wins on the trot since taking over at the Arrakan Barracks side.
That pole position for the soldiers is held jointly with National Assemby who silenced City Of Lusaka 2-0 at Woodlands Stadium.
Other results saw Power Dynamos held at Choma Eagles 1-1. Willie Chimpinde got the equaliser for Power after Keegan Mumba’s side took the lead at Nakambala Stadium in Mazabuka.

Nkana we will wait for you
hey guys for those interested in watch Zambian soccer highlights for players abroad or the national team you can visit us on http://watchzambiansoccer.com/
Justice we will ‘clamp’ you. Forget the friendly game where you guys butchered us.
Looks like Perry Mutapa his turned the tables around has got his ish together. Let this be a lesson to the Mbesuma’s and them, they can do it too if they work hard. Man I wish I was home so that I could watch league matches it seems to be picking up again. This is great for Zambian football, I see great things coming in the near future.
Thanks ba Muzo for the good coverage you have given to the ZPL. Great start, lets keep it up!
Coming to the games, seems Aggrey and his GBFC team are going to stick their feet right in the title race, a good run of result they have had so far. This is good for competition so that we do not have a two horse race again.
I can’t wait to see if Dynamo will keep the momentum they ended the season with last year, I hope it will be the case. They seemed a well neat unit under Kabole and it will be good if Nkana could also up their game so that old rivalries get renewed.
Choma Eagles were a difficulty team to beat last season, I thought they were well organised defensively the few times I watched them. It will even be harder for visiting teams if they have made Nakambala their home ground as I hear the pitch is extra-ordinarily long making visiting teams fail to cope. Zamfoot, kindly confirm if Choma Eagles will be playing from Maamba (which I heard is cut-off now) or they have changed base to Mazabuka.

@Mose
Visited the site and it looks great but need more publicity. I suggest you focus on a different approach from what Zamfoot does not do. Otherwise Zamfoot has provided us with up to the minute news in terms of Zambian Soccer. What exactly are you trying to present different from what we not have seen? Unless you provide the live streams via supersport and znbc that would be awesome. But good idea you have.
The buffalo is wounded, this season has to be ours. Go Boys Fight and Conquer!!!
FINDING a suitable description of the unfolding events at Football House should be difficult for those following events within and outside the sports fraternity.In as much as I keenly followed these events in compiling my thoughts for today, I failed to conclusively describe the potential criminal trespass behaviour of FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya when he stormed uninvited into a meeting, the presence of his wife Emmy Cassalleti at a so called FIFA retreat and now the supposed suspension of Simataa Simataa.As if that was not enough, Kalusha’s arrogant response to Sunday Nkonde’s legal expert advise attracted a threat for the State Council to resign.To further confuse the populace, Anthony Kasolo emerged to counter Nkonde’s opinion in a rather horrendous style.The bogus ‘administrators’ seminar’ in Kitwe has made me conclude that our football is reducing to nothing less than a Muppet Show, a popular cartoon programme that made me stay glued to television in my formative stages.To reduce a national association to the level of cartoon circus is not only disturbing but also disgraceful to our image on the international stage. Unfortunately, there is nothing more you can expect from a shallow-minded Kalusha.I’m tempted to talk about Ashford Mamelodi’s careless and one-sided statement on the FAZ petitions but am sure Medical Stars chairman Alex Mambwe gave him a timely reminder of how his countrymate Ishmael Bhamjee has indecently been phased out of world football.In our local set up, we have a potential Bhamjee in Kalusha. Why? The answer is if Emmy Cassalleti had declared interest in dealing with FAZ, she was not going to be anywhere near Chipolopolo’s ‘private’ training camp in France ahead of the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt whatever relationship existed between the two since they only married in August last year.If any interest was declared, Emmy would never have become striker Collins Mbesuma’s business development manager when the player moved to Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa, she was not going to be the chief of giving those suits the team adorned on return from the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations at Milpark Hotel in Johannesburg prior to the event.Surely, if this FIFA consultant had declared interest, she would not have left the FIFA Confederations Cup in mid-2009 to facilitate another so called seminar at Pamodzi Hotel in Zambia when there was a big event in South Africa.Frankly, Emmy should have detached herself from the Nike deal in relations to the FAZ contract. Please Kalu, keep the ugly face of Emmy’s dealings away from Zambian football because these are some of the things that have fundamentally culminated into divisions in the FAZ executive committee thereby attracting confusion and later the tune of petitions.Is this what Kasolo is trying to defend? Surprisingly, I have not heard his legal advise on the legitimacy of the petitions with regards to the FAZ constitution. I’ll tackle Kasolo’s argument on Simataa later in this discussion.I would have no problems if Kalusha engaged Emmy in whatever form if FAZ was his private business but not when it’s a grant-aided national institution propelled by taxpayers and corporate entities.Apart from Emmy’s involvement in FAZ, Kalusha has become the centre of most of the controversial transfers at Football House working closely with his cholaboy George Kasengele.If allegations about Kalusha’s behaviour towards Munaile, as delegation leader at the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola are anything to go by, we have courted more mess.Apart from Kalusha’s drama on Munaile, coach Herve Renard was not left out in embarrassing the vice-president. In the presence of players, Renard snubbed Munaile when he arrived at the South Africa training camp because he had earlier issued a statement about potential changes to the technical bench. Was Renard reprimanded or disciplined for his uncouth behaviour? No, all because the Frenchman is a Kalusha ‘boy’.Let’s face it, the style of management at Football House encouraged by Kalusha is the genesis of this cartoon show. I’m rather disappointed with Munaile that he can, for two years, tolerate this. He may have no one to blame but himself.
The constitutional breaches highlighted now should have been stopped by Munaile because this is the man who represents us in a national law-making body – parliament.
Worse still, there is treasurer Boniface Mwamelo. Probably, the biggest let down because I admire people with a reasonably learned background.
Bonny is probably the most educated yet the leading coward this FAZ executive has produced.
If Bonny’s behaviour was displayed in the form of Marcha Chilemena, Lenny Nkhuwa or Keegan Chipango, among others, maybe, it could be tolerated.
I didn’t expect a young but well-schooled man to plunge so low for what I think is mere bewilderment of being in Kalusha’s presence.
Maybe, he never saw what Kalusha was made of on the pitch. Sharing a table with Kalusha at this stage in life must be huge success to him. No Bonny, you can do better.
Former FAZ treasurer Rix Mweemba has explained the procurement procedure of motor vehicles and other financial regulations. Bonny can’t claim he doesn’t understand them.
I was shocked to hear Bonny claim the purchase of motor vehicles was in the budget. When I perused the 2009 budget, there is nothing of that sort. The procedure Kasengele used to buy the three vehicles was wrong and Bonny should have the guts to set financial records straight.
To Erick Mwanza, it will be very good for him to rehabilitate his past instead of issuing senseless and useless statements such as Simataa’s supposed suspension extends to watching football matches. How ridiculous can that be assuming the supposed suspension was valid!
Erick has a pathetic professional past that contributed to his exit from the Zambia Daily Mail. Ask him how he left mainstream media? Did he resign, or was he fired for incompetence? The answer will be, no. The closest to the correct answer will be a charge laced with criminality.
And when you are given a second chance in life to serve at another level, you must demonstrate impeccable levels of reformation.
Down to Simataa’s supposed suspension, a senior and vastly experienced lawyer in Sunday Nkonde has summed it all after, what I believe, was a careful analysis of the FAZ constitution. He hinted that Kalusha is allowing the mutilation of the FAZ constitution, which case must not be taken lightly.
In supposedly suspending Simataa, Kalusha, Kasengele, Chipango, Nkhuwa, Marcha and Bonny excitedly failed to understand the definition of the body they are serving.
Article 1:7 states; ‘FAZ shall consist of the council, the executive committee, the general secretariat, Premier League Clubs, provincial, regional and institutional football associations and other football associations approved by the council’.
If you look at Nkonde’s argument, he partly draws the separation of power of FAZ bodies from this clause. Not what Kasolo is suggesting. Kasolo wants to mislead us like he did when Kalusha did not meet the five-year constitutional requirements of article 26 (7i) to contest the position of FAZ vice-president in 2003. Kalusha quit active football sometime after the Africa Cup of Nations in February 2000.
If Kasolo, whose club Eagle Stars, endorsed Kalusha’s candidature claiming he was director, denies this fact, I will refer him to then general secretary Paul Simukoko or former Lusaka City Council and Eagle Stars coach Fabian Ngoliya.
But that’s how we were dribbled in 2003 and since then I have developed a lot of interest in understanding the FAZ guidelines so that I may try, as much as possible, to avoid transmitting such critical errors. It doesn’t mean I’m infallible.
You are welcome, this time it will be 10-0
Chris Katongos club did not play the club you named and did not lose 1-0 but lost 2-1 on friday to former Sichones club. Sinkala’s club are the ones that lost 1-0. Can you correct that
We shall see 10-0 ! Ha, ha,ha…… .
Does anyone know why Premier Division teams are quiet on FAZ issues. Does this mean FAZ saves Premier Divison teams and not lower division teams???? someone help:)

Ba Sibs, are you in Lusaka. Let’s clamp ourselves together as Kalampas tubombele team yesu. Utuma cards for 2010 tuli ready.

Thanks for the clarification. Just remember to quote the source next time so that we are all on the same page.
Sibs,
0977 781007 is my number
kalampa good result.
Nchanga Rangers stunned fellow promoted side Nkana 5-0 this afternoon in a preseason friendlyplayed in Chingola.
While pre-season matches are traditional never a true reflection of things to come, the defeat has given Nkana’s new coach Benjamin “Kawilo” Chilongo some food for thought ahead of the new campaign that kicks off next month.
The win was Rangers second preseason victory over Nkana in the build-up to the 2010 league after earlier beating the record 11-time champions 1-0 at Diggers ground in Kitwe on February 17.
Rangers win in the friendly match came thanks to goals from Moses Mulambi, Aubrey Funga and Humphrey Chanda who scored the last goal.
Bornwell Mwape chipped in with a brace in-between Funga and Mwape’s goals.
Nkana will be looking for a better result this Saturday when they travel to Chililabombwe to play Konkola Blades.
Instead of developing a parallel site why not put the same energies into building Zamfoot and make it world standard?
