…Let sleeping dogs lie, Muza president Keith Mweemba warns
By MICHAEL MIYOBA
FC MUZA president Keith Mweemba says the Mazabuka outfit is not stupid for not taking action against individuals peddling false allegations that the side receives a lot of favours from referees.
Mweemba said the allegations have had a negative impact on the team which has also been victims of unfair officiating but have never gone to social media to complain.
Mweemba challenged people who feel aggrieved to follow the right channels to present their complaints instead of ridiculing Muza on social media.
“Some of these people who are even talking too much on social media, if we were to take it personal and say that now we are going to complain against them, they will actually be in very serious trouble because we have evidence of wrong doing in this country but what we do is to move on to let football win. At the end of the day, referees are human beings,” Mweemba said.
“We know exactly what is going on. But we are not stupid that’s what I will tell you. We know what is going on. The syndicate, the conspiracy, we know what is going on but for us we have respect for the Football Association of Zambia and I think they have been very tolerant but people should not take their luck too far because somebody is going to be in trouble one day. Let sleeping dogs lie,” Mweemba said.
Meanwhile, after last weekend’s 1-1 stalemate with Napsa Stars at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka, FC Muza who are third on the Super League table with 17 points will face struggling Prison Leopards in their next fixture in Mazabuka.
Mweemba said it would be a mistake for Muza to underrate Prison Leopards who are struggling without a coach after the resignation of Chris Kaunda who was in charge of the team for just ten days before he resigned.
“We have to respect Prison Leopards. We have to prepare very well, they are not in the Super Division by fluke. They are a very good team, a ball playing team so it will be another difficulty game and we really have to work very hard and be disciplined to get the three points,” Mweemba said.
After nine games played so far, Muza remains as the only unbeaten team in the Super League where they have enjoyed four victories and five draws.
The Mazabuka outfit is just one point behind the top two teams Red Arrows and Kabwe Warriors who are on 18 points.
