Some Zambia Amature Athletic Association members have accused its president Elias Mpondela of leaving them and instead taking his lover, Leya to Moscow for the international games. Sources have claimed that Mpondela dropped the national coach Felix Mbuye and replaced him with Leya at the expense of the association. Mbuye said he was initially scheduled to travel to Moscow but that when he arrived in Lusaka enroute to Moscow, he was informed that he will not travel. “They told me that I am not going because I have no ticket. I was surprised because I have been preparing for the trip and I traveled from Copperbelt ready to go,” he said. He was disappointed with the development and wondered what had changed from the first time they started preparing for the trip. more
