All is not well at the Lali Lubani Road. In-fighting has seen Be Forward Wanderers veteran forward Esau Kanyenda resigning from the team, following his reported sour relationship with Captain Joseph Kamwendo.<\/p>\n
Wanderers Team Manager, Steve Madeira, Tuesday confirmed Kanyenda\u2019s resignation but said the club\u2019s General Secretary, Mike Butao, was in a better position to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe still has a running contract with the club and, in his letter, he said he would not play for any club. He has just resigned,\u201d Madeira said.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest that Kanyenda has resigned because Kamwendo is accusing him of having a big say at Wanderers.<\/p>\n
An audio clip circulating on the social media has captured Kamwendo addressing his fellow players about his frustrations over some new players who are having a big say at the club.<\/p>\n
In the clip, Kamwendo says he will retire if Wanderers gives the captaincy to Kanyenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cPali nkhani zambiri zomwe zikuchitika ku timu kuno\u2026ma <\/em>guys sitimauzana <\/em>[There are so many issues that are happening in the team but we are not open to each other]. Timabisirana Chichewa <\/em>and tikazilekelera ana akubwera ku timu ino adzavutika <\/em>[We are not honest with each other and if this continues, up-and-coming players, who are joining the team, will suffer].<\/p>\n \u201cMa <\/em>players ena mukumenya <\/em>campaign yoti ine andichotse ukaputeni <\/em>[Some players are on a campaign to have me stripped off the captaincy]. kaputeni ayenera kukhala m\u2019modzi <\/em>[There can only be one captain]. Ndiye zomwe mukapangazi a china <\/em>doctor ndikumva koma choti mudziwe Mamba alibe history ya timuyi kuti akhale kaputeni <\/em>[I know what is happening, but you should know that [Black] Mamba [Kanyenda\u2019s nickname] does not have much history with the club. Ife history ku timuyi tili nayo <\/em>[I have a rich history with the club],\u201d Kamwendo says in the clip.<\/p>\n Kamwendo yesterday owned the clip but faulted the one who leaked the remarks he made while in the team\u2019s bus.<\/p>\n The play-maker said he was merely fighting for players\u2019 rights at the club.<\/p>\n \u201cI played at Wanderers when Foster Namwera was captain. I played under Francis Mlimbika [as captain], so where is this issue of captaincy coming from? I don\u2019t have grudges with Esau. In fact, we have been in the national team together.<\/p>\n \u201cI will expose those who are bringing confusion in the club. I have observed that some people are jealousy of me because I was named Player of the Season in the just\u2013ended season. At my age, some people do not expect me to be winning such accolades but I will keep on working hard. I will continue playing for Wanderers\u2019 supporters and not individuals. I am sorry to the Nomads for the total mess at our club,\u201d Kamwendo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All is not well at the Lali Lubani Road.
