  1. He should just retire, he has been hinting forever. Besides what improvements has he made to the sport, has he developed any talent apart from relaying on natural talent of available sportsmen and women, the population on zambia is colossal and he should have done a lot to develop this sport so that many Zambian’s use it as a form of employment. Not concentrating on corporate races of the madalaz

  2. Let him go. He hounded Samuel Matete when he was challenged. The only achievement is Inter company relay where he loots the little companies contribute. His departure will be good riddance.

  3. Ok so when he says soon it means another 20 years. Kuyabebele made himself life president and ZAAA have nothing to show during his one man reign.
