The Zambian Football Association is addressing allegations of misconduct involving coaches. The allegations against both the Zambian female head coach, Bruce Mwape, and the head coach of Busa, Kaluba Kangwa, are serious matters that need thorough investigation and appropriate action. The decision to allow coaches who are under investigation to continue their roles, such as taking the team to the World Cup or participating in events like COSAFA, can be seen as sending mixed messages about the seriousness with which the football association is treating these allegations. This could lead to concerns that the association is prioritising sporting events over the welfare and safety of players. When coaches facing accusations are not held accountable or face any consequences, it can create an environment where players may feel discouraged from coming forward to testify or report any inappropriate behaviour. This lack of accountability may stem from a lack of trust in the investigative process and a fear of potential backlash or consequences for the players themselves. To build a healthy and respectful sports environment, it's crucial for football associations to demonstrate a commitment to thoroughly investigating allegations, taking appropriate action when necessary, and ensuring the safety and well-being of all players. Without such measures, there is a risk that serious issues may continue to be ignored or brushed aside, which ultimately affects the integrity of the sport and the trust players have in their governing bodies.
