Zambia plans four friendlies ahead of 2013 AFCON
The African Cup of Nations (AFCON)
defending champions, the Chipolopolo of Zambia, has lined up four
friendly games ahead of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in South
Africa.
The team is scheduled to play four
warm-up matches against Tanzania, Swaziland, Morocco and Namibia, before
their first Group C match against Ethiopia on January 21.
Zambia is grouped along with the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
Zambia’s first friendly match would be against a non qualified team for AFCON, Tanzania in Dar es Salaam at the weekend.
The team would later proceed on a short Christmas break after the Tanzanian game.
The Chipolopolo would then resume the
camping in South Africa after the Christmas break in January, before
playing the friendly against two non qualified teams, Swaziland and
Namibia in Nelspruit.
The last friendly match would be against Morocco, one of the teams for AFCON in Johannesburg.
Coach Herve Renard considered the friendly games key in the team’s preparation ahead of the start of the tournament.
``These matches will sharpen us as our
first Cup of Nations fixture against Ethiopia is very important. It is
crucial to start the tournament well,’’ Renard added.

Elizabeth Michael (Lulu) with purple dress, Surrounded by the Police
According to the investigations presented in court, it has been concluded that the accused will be facing manslaughter charge and not murder case, a charge she has been charged with.
The case will continue on December 21 with a new charge in force.
The prosecution led by State Attorney Ofmedy Mtenga informed the court yesterday that the case was supposed to came for mentioning but the investigation into the case is now complete.
“You honor, the investigation into the case is complete and today we were supposed to read the committal proceedings for the accused so that the file can be ready to be taken to the High Court, but the Principal State Attorney Tumaini Kweka, who heard the case, is having another official duties,” said Mtega.
He also asked the court to set another date for reading the committal proceedings to the accused and Magistrate Augustina Mbando who presides over the case.
However, the accused will not be allowed to plead during the court session until the case reaches the High Court.
The case was brought back to Kisutu to proceed with the main suit after an application by Lulu’s counsel Kibatala, who wanted the court to determine the accused person’s actual biological age.
According to the charge sheet, the accused is alleged to have committed the offence on April 7 at Sinza Vatican in Kinondoni district.
The accused, who earlier submitted that she was 17 years old and not 18 as per the charge sheet, is still in custody.

TFF to chop off institution clubs
TFF president Leodegar Tenga
FIFA has directed all football associations affiliated to the body globally to chop down all teams that are owned by institutions. In this case an Institution is supposed to won just one team and not more than that so as to have full-fledged competitive leagues.
Institutions that have more than one team in the current premiership flee will be forced to compress into just one football club.
In this case teams from Police, JKT and Sugar processors will be highly affected. JKT or National Service has a huge number of teams competing in the Mainland premiership.
JKT has five teams of Mgambo, Ruvu, Ruvu Shooting and Oljoro while Sugar processors have Mtibwa and Kagera.
The objective of the FUIFA directive is to improve the degree of competition among the teams in the leagues.
Multiple ownership of clubs within one institution has in most cases prompted match fixing particularly in circumstances when one team is on the verge of either winning the title or facing relegation.
So far it has not been proved a case for fixing results in the Mainland premiership but the situation once left to prevail might one day backfire.
The TFF president Leodegar Tenga said there is no short cut to the FUIFA directive and all teams owned by a single institution will have to be merged into one. He declined to comment when the chopping off of the teams will be effected but he acknowledged that the possibility is wide open and will be enforced.
The directive will not affect other premiership teams in the likes of Simba, Yanga, Azam, Toto Africa and Coastal Union.
However, Tanzania prisons and Police teams will be compelled to avoid other teams belonging to their institutions not to target premiership promotion.

TFF uncertain of Zambia arrival
18th December 2012

TFF information officer, Boniface Wambura
The TFF information officer, Boniface Wambura, said probably today they might be in a position to know exactly when the team would jet in for the match.
Zambia had earlier confirmed to honour the friendly international against Tanzania national soccer team, Taifa Stars, days before Christmas.
The confirmation has prompted Taifa Stars coach Kim Poulsen to summon his players for a week-long training to gear up for the clash.
The Tanzania-Zambia match will be the second friendly in two months after playing against Kenya last month ahead of the Senior Challenge Cup in Mwanza.
All players for the Taifa Stars have reported and are training under the Danish coach at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam where the match will be played this weekend.
Taifa Stars squad has been highly boosted with the arrival of TP Mazembe’s striking duo of Mbwana Samata and Thomas Ulimwengu.
The duo’s release has in most cases been surrounded by uncertainty as they were not available during the Senior Challenge Cup championship that ended in Kampala on December 8.
The team would miss striker John Bocco, defender Said Nassor and goalkeeper Mwadini Ali for various reasons, including injury.
Otherwise, Wambura said the training goes on well and has been highly boosted by the change of weather that has helped to cool down simmering summer temperatures.
Zambia won the African championship for the first time in history when Gabon and Equatorial Guinea co-hosted the tournament in January through February this year.
The team would be leaving for South Africa where the Nations Cup will be held and they need to plot a title retention bid.
Their friendly in Dar es Salaam might be the last before boarding the flight to Johannesburg for title defence.

Arsenal started to heal the wounds inflicted by the Capital One Cup humiliation at League Two Bradford City with an impressive win at Reading.
Arsenal started to heal the wounds inflicted by the Capital One Cup
humiliation at League Two Bradford City with an impressive win at
Reading.
Lukas Podolski gave Arsenal an early lead and the
Gunners were four up on the hour mark after Santi Cazorla became only
the third Spaniard to score a Premier League hat-trick after Fernando
Torres and
Jordi Gomez.
Play media
Reading, utterly outclassed, raised the prospect of the
most unlikely comeback as Adam Le Fondre and Jimmy Kebe scored twice in
the space of five minutes.
No choice but to fight - McDermott
But Theo Walcott, impressive in the central striker's role he sees as crucial to his Arsenal future, snuffed out any Reading optimism with a composed finish that sends Arsene Wenger's side up to fifth place in the table.
As an exercise in recovery after the misery of Bradford, this will have done Arsenal's confidence and morale a power of good - and supports Wenger's claim that his side still have plenty to offer this season.
It was a victory, however, that needs to be seen in the context of the limp opposition offered by Reading, who are now in serious danger of being cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League, where they remain six points from safety.
Royals manager Brian McDermott has overseen progress that has taken Reading a long way in a short time - but there were spells on Monday when what is required in the Premier League looked a long way beyond them.
Arsenal dominated with embarrassing ease for long periods against a home side who, for the first hour at least, gave the ominous impression of a side simply passing through on their way back into the Championship.
Gunners domination
Arsenal have won all of their 11 competitive matches against Reading.
The presence of Walcott and Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain gave Arsenal a pace and movement Reading simply
could not handle - with plenty of others, Cazorla chief among them,
willing to join in to add extra attacking options.
Oxlade-Chamberlain delivered a taste of things to come
in a harrowing opening half for Reading when he forced a fine save from
keeper Adam Federici inside two minutes.
Reading had a couple of moments of encouragement when the powerful Pavel Pogrebnyak almost stole in behind Arsenal's defence, and again when Noel Hunt glanced a header just over.
But the visitors made good on their early threat after 14 minutes. Kieran Gibbs was the provider with a cross from the right, allowing Podolski to arrive in space and take a perfect first touch before firing past Federici.
Podolski then shot narrowly wide before Walcott's speed took him into open space behind Reading's hopeless defence only for Federici to block with his legs.
Federici was distinguishing himself amid the carnage around him and saved well from Jack Wilshere before Cazorla added an inevitable second just after the half-hour as he headed in Podolski's cross.
Reading were falling apart and Cazorla added the third soon after, again taking advantage of dreadful marking to swivel and beat Federici from close range.
Arsenal's Royal connection
Reading boss Brian McDermott started his playing career at Arsenal, making 72 appearances between 1977 and 1984.
The plight of the home side was
cruelly illustrated when their own fans broke into ironic cheers to mark
a short spell of possession, an act hardly designed to offer
encouragement.
The Royals survived the first 15 minutes of the second
half before Arsenal made it four, Cazorla completing his hat-trick after
Wilshere found Podolski, who unselfishly set up the Spaniard for a
simple finish.
As the Madejski sat back and waited for Arsenal to add more goals, Reading suddenly came to life and two quick goals briefly gave this one-sided game a competitive edge.
Le Fondre rounded Wojciech Szczesny to pull one back after 66 minutes and Kebe squeezed between two Arsenal defenders to at least give Reading some encouragement.
Play media
In October when these teams last met, Arsenal recovered from 4-0 down to
win an extraordinary Capital One Cup tie 7-5 in extra time,
and perhaps home fans fleetingly spied revenge.
Win shows our strength - Wenger
But Walcott deserved a goal for his endeavours and it duly arrived with a stylish finish to end Reading hopes.
Arsenal's fans appreciated his efforts and constantly urged Wenger to sort out the England attacker's contract impasse. When he departed late on, it was to a standing ovation.
Reading boss Brian McDermott: "I was very pleased with the response in the second half. Now we'll stick together and move on.
"We've got to fight, no doubt about that - that's the only choice we have.
"We had to do that last year, the year before that and the year before that when we were in a similar position in the Championship.
"I think people have forgotten where we have come from over a short period of time. But the fans got behind us, they saw in the second half we tried to have a go and get the goals back."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "At 4-0 we had a little wobbling period, and at 4-2 of course with what happened last week we became a bit uncertain before the 5-2 killed the game.
"But overall it was important to go out and play and give the right answer on the football pitch."

Nina ofa nono zaidi
Ngassa: Nina ofa nono zaidi
18th December 2012
Mshambuliaji wa Simba, Mrisho Ngassa
Ngassa aliliambia NIPASHE jana kwamba maamuzi yake si ya kukurupuka na amewashirikisha wazazi na familia yake.
Mshambuliaji huyo alisema kwamba ameahidiwa kupewa dau zaidi ya dola za Marekani 50,000 (Sh. milioni 78) ambazo angepata kutoka El Mereikh, nyumba, usafiri atakaouchagua na mishahara ya miezi sita ambayo atalipwa kwa pamoja.
Nyota huyo aliyetua Simba kwa mkopo akitokea Azam alisema kwamba anaamini katika msimu ujao wa Ligi Kuu ya Tanzania Bara yeye atakuwa ni mchezaji anayelipwa vizuri kati ya wachezaji wachache wa ligi hiyo inayoendeshwa na kusimamiwa na Shirikisho la Soka Tanzania (TFF).
"Hivi sasa siwezi kuweka kila kitu wazi kwa sababu ni maisha yangu, pia itaniwekea picha mbaya na wachezaji wenzangu," alisema Ngassa ambaye hivi karibuni alikuwa akihusishwa kujiunga na mabingwa wa mashindano ya Klabu Bingwa Afrika Mashariki na Kati (Kombe la Kagame), Yanga.
Alisema kwamba atahakikisha anaitumikia vyema Simba katika kipindi kilichobakia cha mzunguko wa pili huku akiiweka zaidi timu ya taifa (Taifa Stars).
"Kuna mambo yanaendelea kuhusu mimi, ni wazi kwamba kama mwajiri wako asipokutendea haki ni vigumu kufanya kazi vizuri, ila kwa sasa naomba nisiweke wazi jambo lolote mpaka mechi yetu za Zambia ipite, najua maisha wanayoishi wachezaji wa zamani, sitaki nami inikute hali hiyo," alieleza Ngassa.
Alisema pia bado klabu ya Maritzburg ya Afrika Kusini anawasiliana nao na wameahidi kuzungumza naye mwakani na hawatakuwa na tatizo la kuvunja mkataba ambao atakuwa ameingia na klabu nyingine ya hapa nchini.
Alieleza kwamba hapo awali wachezaji walikuwa wanakurupuka katika kuingia mikataba na hatimaye kujikuta wanawafaidisha viongozi sasa mambo yamebadilika.
Alisema kwamba si kila anayekwenda kucheza nje atapata mafanikio, bali hata hapa nchini ukijipanga hakuna kitakachoharibika.
"Sijutii na wala siwezi kusikitika, nimefanya maamuzi yatakayonilinda mimi na si kuwafurahisha watu," alimaliza nyota huyo.
Baada ya mpango wa kumbakisha nchini Ngassa, kufanikiwa wachezaji wengine wanaotakiwa Yanga ni pamoja na beki, Shomary Kapombe na Emmanuel Okwi, wote wanaichezea Simba na wanamikataba.
