Speaking at joint press briefing in LUSAKA today, Lawyer representing FAZ, PHILIP CHIBUNDI said the two parties have opted to resolve the matter out of Court and have since withdrawn the matter.
CHIBUNDI however said the parties are yet to get consent from High Court Judge GREENWELL MALUMANI who is handling the matter.
And Lawyers for the aggrieved parties, PAUL CHOLA from Lewis and Nathan Advocates said the aggrieved party is hopeful that the dialogue which will be held between FAZ, the complainants and Government will yield better results and unite the football family

NKANDU said following President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA’s directive, his Ministry and the two parties involved have accelerated the issue and resolved that the matter be dealt with outside Court.
President HICHILEMA yesterday directed Sports Minister ELVIS NKANDU to set up a round table discussion to resolve wrangles at FAZ.
