Am sorry i will have to agree with Wales on this one. The communication to Blazers was sent through this forumn meaning Mr Kachere was communicating to everyone holding a basketball stake in the central region. Yesterday i wrote to say its wrong to communicate a decision through this forumn before the team and cezobal interim committee is communicated. Blazers through cezobal should have been communicated first. Infact Blazers never wrote their appeal through this forumn. There was no need for BASMAL to inform every Jim and Jack about their decision. Worse still they excluded the guys who are supposed to be running the league in the first place siting conflict of interest. The conflict of interest is not by choice. These guys are running the league, they are supposed to be an interetsted party at all times. No where in this world have i heard this. These guys should have carried the decision by BASMAL to deliver to Blazers. How do you expect teams to respect them when teams know that BASMAL can overule them, and not even invite them to hear why they made tha decision. Its like BASMAL is siding with the teams and mistrusing its own people that it gave mandate to run the affairs of the central region league. Am afraid much as the decision on Blazers by BASMAL is fair and welcome, it was not done in good faith. It leaves a lot of questions that answers. Its suspect and creates more controversy just as Wales put it. Is it because the Central League is more exciting, has potential to attract sponsors than the south where most of these excutive members are coming from. Is it because these guys are doing what BASMAL should have been doing and some people are getting uncorfortable. Believe me, with the way this decision has been taken, don't be surprised if you here people resigning tomorrow. Then what? The game in the central region will be where the guys in BASMAL want it to be. Backwards. Sometimes people hide their poor perfomace by frustrating others who show potential. Disclaimer: I am writing this in my own individual capacity. No team, individual or body has sent me to write on its or their behalf.

I wish to advise you that almost all the other teams includig ours have been asked to play more than one game in 3 hours this season in more than one occassion. I am sure that everyone including you saw the fixtures on the forum and yet nothing of this kind was pointed out. Is it a must that an action must be taken after an appear. Our team never complaned about this because we understood the circumstances the gentlemen you asked to run things on this side were in. There were so many teams and we had to finish playing by a certain date for other events to be encorparated) e.g all star, chairmans trophy etc. Thats how the league has been played through out the season, my argument is if we and all the other teams complain that we have been playing 2 games in less than 3 hours and that led us to loose some points, would Basmal take any action, maybe replay our games, or award us points. As of know the league is finished and we have accepted that mimbulu are our champions based on how the league was played, but am afraid that your decision might just change the outcome of our league if we all complained and you had to act at this time. Personally i have really enjoyed the season this year, and I am impressed with the way the cezoball gentlemen have run it, the action they took on the blazers were based on what every team was meant to or not meant to do this season for it to be run properly. If all the sudden you come back to us and say blazers have been reverted because of the arguments you have stated, then I ask you to consider our team and all the other teams that have faced a similar situation this year, or maybe you might leave things as they have been and compile another list of rules and regulations that will be abide by carefully next season. Again that is just my thought. But I do expect a responce fmom Basmal. Zikomo ________________________________ From: Roy Kachale <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; basmal <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 12 December, 2008 15:00:00 Subject: {CEZOBAL} Blazers Appeal Ladies and Gentlemen, Basmal was approached by Blazers with an appeal on the decision taken by Cezobal to fine Blazers an amount of MK15k. Their arguments in summary were as follows 1- As a sportsman, if you say you are tired and cannot continue with a game, you cannot be forced to continue the game. 2- In international Basketball, it is inadvisable to play 2 games in the same day let alone 2 within a 3 hr period. 3- The team was adequately punished by giving up their right to continue with the tournament. As Basmal, we felt that we needed to make an independent analysis of the whole situation. We therefore decided to exclude all interested parties. These were Jacob Chikoya, Interim president of Cezobal and one of the people that made the decision to institute the fine Daud Suleman, Interim Secretary of Cezobal and member of Mimbulu George Phiri, interim Treasurer of Cezobal (at the time) and member of Blazers The following were consulted in this decision making process Oscar Kanjala, President of Basmal Roy Kachale, Secretary of Basmal To ensure independence, we also incorporated help form other non interested parties as follows Chimwemwe Mhone, President of Nozobal Willard Kachikwati, Secretary of Nozobal Hope Chisamanga, Secretary of Sozobal The unanimous decision was as follows The punitive measures instituted are not proportional to the offence committed, the forfeiture of the game was punishment enough. Therefore, 1- Blazers should be reinstated into the A league with no points deducted from any of their league games 2- There can be no restriction on the participation of any of their players in the National team or the all-stars 3-Since there is no written rules that state that a team that forfeits a game be fined MK15k, or indeed a precedence of the same, Blazers should not pay the fine. If Cezobal wants to include that as part of their new rules, they can do so but not retrogressively. I am sure that this clears all the bad air that was surrounding this issue. Should anyone have any queries, please feel free to contact me. Roy Kachale Secretary Basmal ________________________________ Internal Virus Database is out of date.
