SPARE TP MAZEMBE

The behaviour of our football administrators regarding the TP Mazembe trio is disheartening and a clear manifestation that Zambia currently has no talent. This is so because I once lived in a Zambia where national team places were not guaranteed and were highly competitive and that the current football Association of Zambia(FAZ) President, Kalusha Bwalya can testify to this. Surely, something has done wrong in our football administration, which someone should owe up. Why the special attention on the three, who don't even play in a prized league but just in the neighbouring Congo.I totally endorse Moise Katumbi's decision to hold on to the players because he is purely a businessman, who has heavily invested in the trio and expects a return. The absence of the trio should have opened doors to others players that have been yearning to dawn in national colours unlike the current situation where some players have in the last ten-years have made national team places, as personal to holder. Truly, Great Kalu, should up his talent identification programme to ensure that there is a resounding or never ending pool of local, rich and abundant talent. I will not subscribe to the notion that Kalaba, Sunzu and Sinkala are the best Zambia has ever had and that we should continue clinging to them. It's time that we begin to look beyond them and focus on raw and untapped talent from across Zambia like was in the case in the olden days where the national team had four-select sides that ensured that the first team was the cream dela cream of Zambia's refined talent unlike the questionable, un-royal and money prone citizens. Additionally, I make an earnest appeal to the migration department to be considerate of the forces at play regarding the TP Mazembe trio issue and not make emotional and invisible implemented decisions because in the end Katumbi might just be the victor in the all equation like the unchained armless bull dog holed at Lusaka's government complex ever backing.
