Zambia’s soccer president Kalusha Bwalya’s paid agents Godfrey Chikumbi and Erick Mwanza have called those supporting the candidature of Andrew Kamanga at next year’s elective annual general meeting “idiots”.
Mwanza and Chikumbi stage-managed an interaction with Kamanga at Nkoloma Stadium Saturday afternoon. Mwanza, who is doubling as FAZ spokesperson, approached Kamanga in the company of Chikumbi with the view of mocking him about his candidature.
According to sources, Mwanza told Chikumbi to record the incident on either a camera phone or voice recorder so that the duo can publish on social media as part of their campaign to throw dirt at Kamanga. Apparently, the recording was not as successful.
Kamanga was at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka to watch a local league match. Sources say after the recording failed, Chikumbi decided to post his version of the incident on his Facebook page.
Chikumbi alleges that Kamanga charged at Mwanza. However, Chikumbi contradicts himself when he states that Mwanza went to greet Kamanga which is also the version given by eyewitnesses consulted by Zambia Reports.
“There was no need for Kamanga to charge at Mwanza in that manner. In his usual manner, Mwanza was greeting Kamanga and as I was his guest, was shocked to see him refuse a greeting and then attack the man like that.
“Am sure Kamanga realised how isolated he became from all those he shocked with his conduct such that he left before the second half could even get underway,” Chikumbi alleges.
But another eyewitness tells Zambia Reports that Kamanga was willing to interact with Mwanza but had adequately been briefed of the schemes to record him by Mwanza.
“Andrew knew he was being mocked. So, he just told Erick to keep away from him and advised him to be civil in the manner he was conducting campaigns on behalf of Kalusha,” the eyewitness says.
When challenged by one of his Facebook friends about the Nkoloma incident; Chikumbi said “Those who are supporting Kamanga are idiots.” He later deleted that post by Zambia Reports recorded it and is affixed to this article.
Mwanza recently spent over an hour attacking Kamanga at a press brefing organised by Supersport and FAZ. The briefing had nothing to do with campaigns.
Mwanza is also responsible for the KICKOFF Zambia Facebook page which has embarked on a malicious campaign to embarrass Kamanga. Kamanga is a respected Zambian business. According to information obtained by Zambia Reports, the North Western Managing Director and Enfin Solutions Managing Partner has warmed the hearts of many councillors.
The reception Kamanga is receiving from councillors has sent jitters in Kalusha’s team. As a result, Chikumbi has been hired to post anything on Facebook to provoke Kamanga.
It’s Kamanga’s team that started with the league restructuring now stolen by Kalusha who is hurrying its implementation.
