We feel that directing their energies to resolving these issues should be their paramount priority ahead of the AGM,&#8221; Mwilu said.<\/p>\n<p>She said it was important that Football House addressed the anomalies being experienced since the league apparently kicked-off. There are 223 FAZ members and club affiliates 16 of which are in the Super Division and have enjoyed a somewhat smooth run so far.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mwilu said the majority of clubs in the lower league have been treated to a disorganised start which confirms their fears of reserving the league kick off to a date after the AGM.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is it not true that a Football House official was in Choma and Northern Province to register players and clubs the past week? Why should the league have started when Football House officials are headed to Eastern Province this weekend for the registration process,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>she said. Mwilu said it was clear that Football House was not ready to resume the league prior to the AGM and thus the urge to the majority of the football family supporting the vote of no confidence to stand firm and resist any form of intimidation.<\/p>\n<p>But FAZ spokesperson Erick Mwanza said FAZ will not tolerate any attacks on its members, councillors and clubs which have resolved to take the game forward as one united family. He said it was regrettable that non members of the FAZ would be in the forefront masquerading as officials of the national soccer governing federation and go to the extent of issuing deceptive, fabricated and bogus statements on the state of the game in Zambia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Had Mwilu been a member of FAZ or indeed an official of any team, secretariat would have referred her to the relevant judicial body of FAZ with a strong recommendation for punitive sanctions,&#8221; he said. Mwanza said registration of players and officials using the new Narsil Technology provided to FAZ by FIFA and being implemented across other FIFA members will continue even when the league as continued as most clubs have had difficulties understanding the new process.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201104210868.html\" title=\"Zambia: Kamanga Faction Shocked\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zambia: Kamanga Faction Shocked<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 21 April 2011 THE Andrew Kamanga FAZ Interim Committee has expressed shock that Republican President Rupiah Banda had to bail out the national soccer team shortly before the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Mozambique when Football House had announced that the association had made a surplus of K3 billion last year.
