KEITH MWEEMBA, KASHALA APPEAL THEIR REJECTED NOMINATIONS
Presidential candidates in the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) elections have rejected the Electoral Committee’s decision to declare their nominations invalid, leaving Andrew Kamanga unopposed.
FAZ Electoral Committee Chairperson Ronald Hatoongo announced Kamanga as the duly elected candidate on Monday night, ruling out eight other nominees.
FC MUZA Proprietor Keith Mweemba criticized the decision, calling it the “joke of the century” and insisting his nomination was valid and that no illegality will be condoned.
Meanwhile, Kashala, whose nomination was ruled out under Article 33(5) of the FAZ Constitution, has urged the Appeals Committee to conduct an independent review of the rejected candidates’ appeals.
Other affected candidates include Godfrey Chikumbi, Francis Hafwiti, Emmanuel Munaile, Machacha Shepande, and Alex Basopo Njovu.
Keith stop playing to the gallery. There is an appeal process and you are a lawyer. State your case and we will hear of it after your submission.
First off Keith is not playing to the gallery as you allegedly state. You can’t have 9 candidates and 8 are disqualified, it’s impossible. how did Kamanga make it 100% while the rest fell off the wagon..? He must be the smartest guy ever to manage FAZ. I’m calling all football fans in Zambia to protest against this election. Kamanga should not think that he owns FAZ. This matter shouldn’t die a natural death either. Remember no cobwebs.
So the fact that the 8 failed to read the rules is the fault of the association? Please. In everything we do in life. Lets not do it blindly, and expect an outcome we want. Its an infantile way of looking at things.
I honestly, would have expected a comment from the other candidates. And make the comment not knowing what their background is.
But a Lawyer to go into court and not understand the facts of the matter he seeks to address, seems unbecoming on our learned friend.
The Association is very clear in its bench marks. The writer seems like an independent person with no motive but uphold goverance tenants in the association.
Mr. Mweemba, as a lawyer its embarassing that you can throw your name into a race without knowing or reading the rules.
If am wrong in my assertions then just appeal. Stop making excuses and running your mouth thinking you can talk your way out of being wrong.
This tendency of entitlement is wrong and we need to stop.
Lets learn to show we have worked and earned what we expect to be accorded. As for the inzaghifmc….you defy logic please. Sit down. You are just making noise. Learn to learn. Dont thing making noise makes things right.
Learn also to read and think before you make noise. Have you even read abd followed the issue? Or you are just making emotional outbursts? Child act like that sit down and let the adults lead, if that is how you hope to run FAZ.
Some people think they are entitled to everything because of their birth rights.
It is high time all Zambians were given equal opportunities, not just them being favoured in all top jobs. Let fairness prevail. No more imingalato. The conman will be fuming, but this is a sign of things to come.
Vote like they do in Southern province.
Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Now the number of the disqualified is almost hundred percent of the candidates leaving only the incumbent, who turns an opposed and stays on as President.
Mr. Mweemba, this is no joking matter. Lodge your appeal and let’s hear your grounds of appeal.
Exactly!
We as Zambians need to be critical in our thoughts and rational in outlook. Unless we begin to do that. This knee jerk reaction attitude will not change our status. Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.
Education in its subtlety sets people apart. Both formal and informal. Before am disparaged.
I didnt know Second Republic tactics can be used in the Third Republic!! Kamanga wants to run against the frog!!
Ladies and gentlemen, let us be serious. Honestly speaking, out of 9 candidates, 8 are are pronounced ineligible. and only one is said to have valid nomination. Where on earth?
Okay. now let us look at it this way… Suppose Kamanga was an MP for particular constituency on a ruling party ticket. At the end of his term decides to defend his seat as he did in this case. And such a thing happen, what would the majority Zambians say?… Nothing, but IMINGALATO at work.
The problem is, IMINGALATO has short legs, believe it or NOT, hence they lead to nowhere…YES…
Many have tried to use that formula. But to NO GOOD AT ALL. Only great disappointment. And i see that slowly approaching Kamanga.
NO DOUBT, that is the reason Keith Mweemba described that move as the JOKE OF THE CENTUARY…
Brilliant description, indeed…
If i was near you bwana, we would have hugged and shock hands.
For now, i end by saying good lucky to all of you guys…
Great for Zambian Football that Andrew Kamanga continues as President of FAZ..We don’t want ‘ queer’ motivations to ruin football in Zambia.
The ‘ Its our time ‘ Caravan thinks it can bulldoze everywhere … just because it’s the caravan. You can’t have all positions in Zambia determined by ‘ birthright’ coronations . Work hard. Have the required experience, and then aspire for positions.
The David Phiris, Tom Mtines, Teddy Mulongas, Rupiah Banda had the mantle to run football, and contributed greatly to it’s development..
Continue running football Mr Andrew Kamanga…You are not the perfect choice we Know, but you are the right one under the prevailing circumstances.
