KUM’MAWA DEVELOPMENT COALITION CONGRATULATES MR. ANDREW NDANGA KAMANGA ON HIS UNOPPOSED ELECTION AS FAZ PRESIDENT
The KUM’MAWA DEVELOPMENT COALITION (UMODZI KUM’MAWA) proudly extends its heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Andrew Ndanga Kamanga on his unopposed election as the President of the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ), as outlined by FAZ statutes.
As a pressure group dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the interests of the Eastern Province, we take great pride in Mr. Kamanga’s leadership. His success in returning to this esteemed position signifies not only his resilience but also the collective support of those who recognize the value of Indigenous leadership.
Despite facing a spirited challenge from competitors, Mr. Kamanga’s triumph underscores the importance of unity within our football governance. We believe that respect for FAZ democracy is paramount to foster growth and solidarity in Zambian football.
Once again, we congratulate Mr. Kamanga on this significant achievement and express our unwavering support as he leads the way forward for Zambian football.

Andrew Kamanga went through because those seeking the same office were lazy and thought they could waltz into office without following the rules.
The article takes a tribal connotation which is sad and if this is what you stand for. You are really a pathetic grouping. That is not what we should stand for as Zambians.
Look across the Zambezi. Zimbabwe was the basket of the region, but wreck by the same intonations that dessimated all structures that could have been used for the greater good.
Muhabi, when you graduated you were reveared to be among the bright leaders of your generation. Sad, that you now identify with these kinds of values. Devoid of what your mentor represented. KK must be rolling in his grave in disgust.
The FAZ issue is becoming political and tribal. It is sad it has taken that turn.
Mamama…this is Fodder and Field day for Indigo Tryrol.
Mr. Crab, you see now my brother how tribalist some people are just because they are Tonga.
I must say that not all Tonga people are tribalist, even here. My brother FCB is not tribalist, but just a blind follower.
Vote like they do in Southern province.
Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Imagine if such a statement came from a group from southern province talking about a person from southern province, Indigo and his tribal crew would have been writing articles about how tribal the people of southern province are for a month. In fact, just the existance of a group like this comprising people from southern province, the tribal group would have been talking about it non stop.
Apparently Mweemba told Kamanga to step aside because he was close to Hakainde, and threatened to take him to see the president if he refused. Kamanga has lodged a complaint.
This birth rights nonsense has to stop now.
I am sure the observer will publish this letter as I trust their unbiased views.
Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.
Vote like they do in Southern province.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Total lack of wisdom on the part of this organization Umodzi fimo fimo. Are they trying to sabotage Mr. Kamanga by bringing in the tribal element? The appeal process is not done yet so it is a bit premature on the part of this tribal organization to conglatulate Mr. Kamanga, that is if they are doing it in good faith, which I doubt.
Please, leave football out of your tribal politics.
Chanda stop trying to bring politics and tribe into FAZ. These elections have nothing to do with political affiliation or what tribe you belong to but merely what plans you can bring to improve football so that councilors may vote for you. I’m sure even kamanga will disassociate himself from your grouping.
