Regarding his ambition to lead FAZ in the upcoming elections, Mwenya, who is also the President of Konkola Mine Police Club, reaffirms his unwavering commitment.
In his appeal to FAZ Councillors, he has declared that his aspiration is alive, urging them not to doubt his dedication to steering FAZ toward new heights.
As a football strongman from the Copperbelt Province, Mwenya has emphasized the critical importance of unity within Zambia’s football community. Beyond personal ambitions, he has implored FAZ leadership to embrace every member, fostering an environment of inclusivity for the sake of unity and progress.
