Football Association of Zambia appoints Shepande as new General-Secretary

The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has appointed veteran administrator, Machacha Shepande, as its new General-Secretary, taking over from Reuben Kamanga, who has stepped down on mutual terms after two years of service.

In a statement issued on Saturday by FAZ Communications Manager, Sydney Mungala, the association also announced a mutual separation with Deputy General Secretary John Msimuko.

FAZ president, Keith Mweemba, congratulated Shepande on his appointment, describing him as a seasoned administrator with more than 30 years of experience in football management.

“Shepande needs no introduction to the game, having previously served as General Secretary under the Evaristo Kasunga era and held various positions over the years.

“His vast experience will no doubt take the secretariat to the next level,” Mweemba said.

He further thanked Kamanga and Msimuko for their contribution to Zambian football, wishing them success in their future endeavors.

Shepande, who also served as Head of Sport at the African Union Commission in Addis Ababa for over a decade, holds a BA in Education and a Master’s in Sociology and Development Studies.

He is a former General Secretary of the National Sports Council of Zambia.
