Kalu attempts to suspend Simwanza over Mbola
FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya on Sunday attempted to suspend committee member Pivoty Simwanza in relation to Chipolopolo defender Emmanuel Mbola’s transfer saga during a caucus meeting.
“Most of the members advised the president not to take that route. Moreover, Pivoty was not present in the meeting. How can you suspend someone you have not talked to?” the source said

What did Simwanza do exactly, is he the one that issued the ITC even if Mbola still had a case pending?? just speculation but I really wonder exactly what his role was in the whole saga. On the flip side I say big up to Kalu for finaly taking some action. He needs to show this type of leadership if he wants his house clean. Who ever issued the ITC should be fired not even suspended and Chileshe and his club should also be banned from all football activities for bringing the game into disrepute. I say again to Kalu big up on this one, we needed to see some heads role for all this nonsense that is destroying our game and most promising players.

@ Big Steve from SA
It’s the other way round, Pivoty Simwanza has been on Kalu’s neck for getting involved in the Emmanuel Mbola. Simwanza is opposed to the ‘Big Fish’s involvement.
Anyway just a bit of info, Pyunik has agreed to sell Mbola to TP Mazembe. Negotiations are on going and in the next few weeks a deal could be concluded.
But Mbola doesn’t want to stay in Congo….he said he wants to go back to Europe but the problem is that the money his father and Mr Chileshe plus his signing on fee is the stumbling block.
Pyunik is fed up with Mbola’s non-show up even flying to Russia if he didn’t want to go Armenia so they have agreed to conclude the deal with Mazembe
Donkey Jaw Bone on Wed, 28th Jul 2010 10:44 AM
So, is Pivoty Simwanza the Big Fish at FAZ that is involved in Mbola Case or someone else?
Big Steve from SA on Wed, 28th Jul 2010 10:59 AM
Thanx for the clarity Zamfoot. So Pivoty is likely the person that is good in this whole thing. Good thing then that the other executives are not Kalu bootlickers and actually didn’t agree with him on the suspension. So Mbola is going to TP. He will end up stuck there forever just because his dad and Chileshe were made to dance to the tune of $300,000.

The inclusion of Charlie’s boys is long overdue. I am liking Keagan because he seems to be out to do good even if that doesnt please some people. The report from those who watched the U20 game is that just by looking, one could tell that this time we had used actual U20′s. I pray his team beats Mauritius so that we build a real junior team.
This Mbola saga will definitely come out in the open and chaps will have no were to hide. Threaten Pivoty (if he is right) wont help anything.
Brave Rangers for Life on Wed, 28th Jul 2010 3:43 PM
Ba Zamfoot please give us a full report on this, like an article just to clear the air. Now it seems the Big fish is trying to stiffle or shut up anyone who has information concerning this case by suspending them, what a way of doing these, mafia style heh!!!
Brave Rangers for Life on Wed, 28th Jul 2010 3:48 PM
Sorry meant what a way of doing things in above comment. We are eagerly waiting for ROK’s report on his talk with Pivoty which will definetly make us know the root of this whole saga.
chiti chitundu on Wed, 28th Jul 2010 4:59 PM
too much politics now…. but i think that we need to be united as zambians for us to succeed we have what it takes but….. we are swayed by other things at times
Amuna Onzuna on Wed, 28th Jul 2010 6:19 PM
If Kalusha is deeply involved in the Mbola saga,then he is stupid because he must show leadership by following the rules of the game.This is a problem associated with liking money too much,wanting to live a fancy life always.Im sure Kalu wouldnt want people to doubt him,coz many people have lots of respect for him.As for Lamisha,we will gladly welcome him back to Zambia.His Dad is kind of closed-up,he is too quiet and I hope he comes to Zambia regulary.

tEducation is very important in all spectacles of life including soccer. How do these boys sign contracts without understanding what it all involves. With education some form of displine will also arise, look at Jacob Mulenga combining both! In Europe some of these boys can’t communicate with coaches, which is a real shame.,
Chimpunga on Wed, 28th Jul 2010 8:32 PM
Great news for Lamisha. I hope it works out we must not miss out on this boy. My friend sends information on how his performance, the boy is a marvel to watch! Pls lets speak with one voice ba muzo help us to speak out, we need this boy in the next 2 years this boy must play at the afcon. Whether belgian passport or not, he must play for zambia.

Yaba, this Mbola saga is driving me crazy. Why can’t someone just make a stand and expose everything that has happened? Now Pivoty has been drawn into the discussion, but I don’t know from where and why? Can someone please give Pivoty a call and let’s hear what the guy has to say for himself? Then let’s call Kalu and hear what he has to say for himself. We keep on hearing bits and pieces from all sorts of people, but nothing that matters from the people at the centre of the problem. Mbola, Chileshe, Katumbi and ‘FAZ Big Fish’ Kalu. If someone can give me all these guy’s telephone numbers then I will call them myself. No more letting them lie, here are the questions I want to ask.
Mbola – did you sign a contract in Armenia? Were you forced? How were you forced? After Afcon, who took you to England? Why did you travel with someone who isn’t your agent? Was a FAZ official involved in sending you to England? Who told you not to go back to Armenia? Who took you to TP? Did you sign a contract and get money from TP? Do you realise that you could be banned from playing football for doing this nonsense? Mr Chileshe – Did you accompany Emma to Armenia? Were you there when he signed a contract? Did Pyunik Yeravan pay Mining Rangers money for Emma? Were you contacted by Kalu saying that an English scout wanted to take Emma to Tottenham? Who came up with the idea to take Emma to TP? Did you recieve money from Katumbi? Who told you to lodge a complaint with FIFA? Do you realise that you could be ending Emma’s career? Kalu – Were you approached by an agent representing Tottenham in Angola? Did you enter into negotiations to take Emma to Tottenham? Did you know that Emma is contracted to European Sports Agency and has an agent? Did you ask the scout to contact Pyunik Yeravan? Have you advise Mr Chileshe to contact FIFA, claiming that Emma was forced to sign a contract? If Emma is a minor and his contract didn’t put in place provisions for his father to be with him in Armenia and for him to attend school, why did FAZ issue an ITC? Did FAZ issue a separate ITC to TP? Is FAZ pushing FIFA to make a judgement on the case between Mining Rangers and Pyunik Yeravan? Why do you want to suspend Pivoty Simwanza? If you have any further questions please submit them below.

It looks like a dust storm of confusion has approached us once again, one theorist says that there is need for confussion in order for order to come, for illustrations of this see http://www.confuscious.com. Yes, one Emmanuel Mayuka survived, very focused even if he does not seem very happy in a Zambian jersey anymore; that was tough- a Mayuka… a Mayuka…a Mayuka. Its ok am not trying to make anyone look bad here. Mayuka is a good good lad who shows discipline, he comes at every call for duty and thats good enough to suggest the best is yet to come. Ooooh and now the ‘Emmanuel Mbola saga and storm’, hmmm very sad reading: No, even Mr Moses katumbi must let go, president Banda can you come in…to help the boy and his family. We cant have our players getting trapped into Congo, the Lusaka accord was enough to help peace. Moses! Moses! Moses! whats your plan….looks like you are caging our boys in Lubumbashi and stiffling our growth as a country, dangling copper dolars hmmm!
If Moses katumbi cared enough the boy would be doing pre-season in Europe. well, i will wait for the facts from zamfoot.
Now, Charles Musonda’s children to play for Zambia? Give them chance, as a teenager that boy must be looking for his roots, Belgiam and Zambia are both your countrie, young man. Feel freeeeeeeeeeeeee; make him freeeeeeee. Go Keegan Mumba, go Lucky Msiska, go Charles Musonda, go Kalusha Bwalya, go Honour janza. rise above the storms….gogogogogo Bonnetti please make our football tick again.
