GPZ PRESIDENT JACKSON SILAVWE DISAGREES WITH GOVERNMENTS WITHDRAWAL OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO CHIPOLOPOLO
He writes….
I don’t support Governments withdraw of funding to Chipolopolo, Snr Men’s National Team. The decision is immature, emotional and petty.
Yes we are equally hurt about the string of losses by the national soccer team but Minister Nkandu and his team are being impulsive. The decision just makes things worse.
Government should sit down with the FAZ leadership and agree on possible deliverables, make structural and technical changes to the team.
The Keith Mweemba led executive at FAZ is relatively new and settling. Let’s support them to win. Minister Nkandu, you can do better my Brother.
Silavwe Jackson, GPZ President.

It’s high time the country forgot about football. Millions of kwacha are spent on such sports activities, and the return is zero. Why can’t that money be channeled to youth unemployment and food production?
I applaud the Zambian government on this. Our footballers have become greedy and big-headed.
Imagine how Cape Verde, an Island of around 550,000 people, would qualify for the World Cup? Their players know how to die a little for their Island. 3 consecutive losses at home! Awe , lets forget about football.
Why flog a dead horse? Zambia national team is dead and buried and you cannot be throwing money into an endless pit.
