Making football partisan must not be tolerated at all cost…I am disappointed by some of my colleagues from the opposition – Jackson Silavwe

Making football partisan must not be tolerated at all cost. We have enough matters we can politic about but not football or any sport.

I am disappointed by the sentiments expressed and conduct by some of my colleagues from the opposition regarding today’s football match.

It is not right to bring party politics in football, it has the potential to make sport a political battle ground. Let sport remain the uniting factor for all our people regardless of political party affiliation.

  1. Imagine ! During his Presidency Lungu and his violent cadres would never allow an opposition leader to be at a football match. That would be suicide. Moreover, the National team was underperforming and yet today he claims to be a soccer fan. Wherent these the same people who were fighting Kamanga and desperately trying to hound him out of office?

    • Must ECL stop watching football just because he’s in opposition?. C’mon no one made it partisan but your delusional self!. He used to do it during during his time why should he stop now?.
      Man had no freedom for the past 2 years. Even that he could have been asked to get a police permit.

  2. This is the dangers of following the opposition blindingly. It’s good that your eyes are now open. Criticise where it’s necessary & commend where something is done for the good of the country. And offer solutions where necessary.
