Kafumu Nkhoma says he will not seek re-election
VAM General Secretary, Jairos Nkhoma, was speaking ahead of elective Annual General Meetings (AGMs) to take place this Saturday in the central and northern regions where new office bearers will be ushered into office to run the regional leagues.
Nkhoma said those that will be elected should know they have a big task to make sure the game is uplifted from the grass root especially in schools.
“We need dedicated leaders who can uplift the game and sell it to the corporate world. We have a problem where when some people are elected, they just sit down and leave everything into the hands of very few individuals. Right now we need people who are vibrant to lead the regional leagues,” Nkhoma explained.
