One important statement I have pulled out from Kayakangu's massage. I quote "we might be happy with some decisions not happy with some, however you have our full support." End of quote.

Dear All, First all i would like to thank my personal Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for the numerous years and succesful career in Basket Ball. All Glory be unto Him. What i am about to write is not for the faint hearted. As much as i appreaciate and sympathise with Blazers case, i feel these comments raised in the opening remarks are not meant for us rather i would suggest you wrap them up get in a closed meeting with Cezobal and Basmal. There valid points you are raising however i feel it is not appropriate for you to raise issue concerning people and there profiles. if every team had to start putting up CVs of there players and what they do & could do , our inboxes would be overwhelmed . You will find that others in some teams can even sponsor the league and all teams. Dont hold us( Basketball Community) hostage because of your unique talents. Talents come and go in different combinations the same way nations are built and are destroyed. I am afraid the tone of the email makes the congratulatory and unifying message diluted. Please! people put time and effort to organise events. I am not saying that everything is ok however i dont think that the organising committee has paid deaf ear to concerns? i thought this matter has gone back to the officials? why comment when its being heard? unless you correct me that the officials met and the verdict is still the same. When we are making comments lets do so constructively not to undermine the leadrship of others. These might demoralise those in leadership. Networks are not built like on pride rather on humility & offering service to others. I have played serious active Basket Ball since 1990 ( watched & played as well not seriously since 1985 when Charles Bamster a Peace corp was teaching BBin Malawi) and i have met alot of people seen more things probably than most people in this basket ball generation. Truly indeed people have benefited from each other. However the key has been good social relationships in the network. Not pride on what teams boast of. Do you know that some players & people today are sitting a call away to people who have enjoyed this game since the 70s, 80s 90s to offer solid support with vast resources interms of finances and BB equipment and technical support?. But what discourages them is the attitude that the current generation of basket ball has? so please when you makiing your statements becareful. We have talked about improving the game for a long time. how do we do it? if you dont know how, i can start the list. 1. be passionate about playing basketball 2. be passionate about individual fitness and playing games 3. be passionate about appreaciating other teams and fixtures 4. have the heart to express your thoughts without attaching your opnions or heresay but facts. 5. representing basketbal in and outside the court. 6. the list is not prescriptive but flexible you can add your ideas What would happen if a certain generation of players and officials just quit today. I am sure tizingosewela ma 21!!! Just look at the veterans spirit of basketball? certainly Lilongwe basketball is benefiting from these guys and the social relations. you can tell there a big difference in attitude between these guys and this generation of basketball. I am afraid people are full of egos! not until we learn to let our egos aside we will not benefit basket ball today. Lets ask ourselves these questions 1. what made basketball tick back in the days? 2. why are the veterans back and all over sudden basketball is again starting to take centre stage? why was the all stars in volving the veterans exciting? did they come alone? no ... but the came with the friends and families inthe crowd. werent people happy to see the multitudes? how about the 3 on 3. the older generation of basketbal spiced up things. lets be honest. how do they do it? 3. what happens for a sport to start pulling the crowd? its athletism that does the trick and display of knowldge of the game. ( i consider myself old and belonging to older generation of basket ball. its shame i run more than 18 years today, jump and hustle more than 21year olds when they are supposed to out do some of us.) .Furthermore its the social relationship outside as well and seriousness. we the players are supposed to market the game. For the committee i pray some decisions can be overturned and dont feel wounded about it. Dont feel you have soften up or you are succumbing to pressure rather look at this issue objectively. We trust and respect your leadeship & we are here to support you not bring you down. These are such difficult times that you were appointed for. Your demonstration of good leadeship to listen would benefit the whole basket ball community. In a long time i have started enjoying playing in Lilongwe. keep up the good work! Remember people are political in nature, but how we relate with others individually or in organisations or community is of utmost importance, because it determines the outcomes and impact on our goals. So i urge those who love basket ball to come and continue to play and knowing that authorities are watching, so have self and team disclipline whilst respecting authority of CEZEBOL and those in leadership enjoy your term in office and know that people are watching you also to make fair judgements. Everytime back in the days when i decided to go and watch the game it was 99.9999999% that the game would be played in competitive spirit, and i would enjoy it as a spectator. Can we have those days again? I will wait for the days to come as long as Jesus gives me life and the Holy Spirit guide my way. Yours Kayakangu The only light in my life is Jesus Christ! in whom i trust... --- On Mon, 10/27/08, Pempho Kanjadza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Pempho Kanjadza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: {CEZOBAL} Did you Know? To: [email protected] Date: Monday, October 27, 2008, 6:14 AM Do you know that it is a Blazers player who designed the CEZOBAL website and is the host? Do you know that it is a Blazers player who is helping in designing some of the basketball courts to be built and some restructured? Do you know that reliable sources have disclosed that particular Blazers players are targeted not to play the game till the end of this season? Do you know that as a basketball family, we are aslo individuals with different careers and skills and we can help develop each other? We have different fields of study which are beneficial to all of us? The houses that are being built or planned to be built, can be designed by some of the players at good friendly prices or not for any price at all? You know why, it is because of the relations that have been established on the court. Do we therefore need these relations to go sour? What happens then...........? God knows. If so, can you say that Blazers does not respect the game? If so, can you say that Blazers don't want to improve the game? Some of the good things that blazers do outweighs the verdict passed on it and we feel by such, that these good works are not being appreciated. Where is this enemity coming from? Congratulations Congratulations Mimbulu for winning the Chairman's Trophy. The Chairman, We very much appreciate the introduction of the Trophy, may God bless you abundantly. You have brought in good competition to improve the game here in the Capital. Thanks. To All We are still a family and we can further improve the game. Lets hold hands and come together, lets avoid bringing politics in the game, it will kill the game. Kind regards to all.
