FAM snubs CAF

Listen to this article

Amid reports that almost half of Africa’s federations look set to oppose the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF’s) instruction to support Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa in this month’s Fifa presidential elections, Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has said it will make its own decision.

CAF on Friday pledged support to the Bahraini at a meeting held in Rwanda’s capital Kigali while overlooking the candidacy of Africa’s only entrant, Tokyo Sexwale of South Africa.

Was endorsed by CAF last week: Salman Bin Ebrahim

But when asked for theirposition, FAM president Walter Nyamilandu yesterday said: “It’s a right of member associations to vote.

“We will inform our decisions independently andlet the best candidate win.”

Last Friday, Nyamilandu said no decision has been taken by FAM on which candidate to endorse.

“We are taking our time, it’s still early days,” he said.

However, CAF first vice-president Suketu Patel, who is also Council of Southern African Football Associations (Cosafa) head, to which FAM is a member, was quoted by goal.com as saying: “The executive committee decided that CAF will give full support to Sheikh Salman with his candidacy for Fifa presidency.”

CAF second vice-president Almamy Kabele Camara said the decision was taken “unanimously”.

Africa’s football governing body has 54 votes at its disposal, the most of any of the world’s regional governing bodies, and four of the five contenders came to Rwanda’s capital to find out who Africa wants as its standard-bearer.

CAF chiefs met on the sidelines of the African Nations Championship (Chan) tournament played in Kigali.

Meanwhile, Liberia FA president Musa Bility was quoted by the BBC Sport yesterday saying half of Africa’s federations look set to oppose the CAF’s instruction to support Sheikh Salman.

Bility, a one-time candidate in the Fifa race himself, before being excluded on eligibility grounds, says he is backing Prince Ali of Jordan.

“I have been in contact with 26 African FA presidents and none will vote for Sheikh Salman,” Bility claimed on BBC Sport.

Sheikh Salman, from Bahrain, is the president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). He faces Uefa’s number two Gianni Infantino, Sexwale, Jerome Champagne, a former assistant secretary general of Fifa and Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan.

The vote for football’s top job is on February 26.

    Dear Sir

    YES TO CERTIFIED SPORT!
    NO TO RED – RACISM, EXCLUSION and DISCRIMINATION TODAY!
    STOP PAYING CORRUPTION LIP SERVICE!

    Where was Walt€r N¥amilandu’s independent thinking – TWO FIFA ‘ELECTIONS’ AGO – when he was AR$E-KI$$ING Jo$€ph $€pp Blatt€r and helping to ‘re-elect’ this criminal?

    FIFA’s 5 candidates have been vetted (and as usual an African was found wanting!); as many as 200 of the ‘electorate’ have not ……….. despite them stealing from their tax payers in one form or another. Friday February 26 2O16 is as illegal as the Blatter mass-endorsement last year.

    Where was Walt€r N¥amilandu’s independent thinking when he, with the assistance of I$$a Ha¥atou, Jo$€ph $€pp Blatt€r and others – was SABOTAGING Malawi’s Football including Malawi’s National Team World Cup Qualification chances?

    Reference is made to The Nation’s Article ‘FAM SNUBS CAF | Says It Will Make An Independent Decision On FIFA Presidency’

    Is Walt€r Nyamilandu aware that the Swiss ‘government’ may or may not allow him and other Football Association ‘presidents’ into Switzerland, and if they do, The FBI may order their detention?
    This idiot is not even conversant with his part in the crime FIFA now is. And I definitely know why.

    On Jo$€ph $€pp Blatt€r’s ‘re-election’ – Friday May 29 2015 – and resignation – Tuesday June 2 2015 – you are made aware AGAIN, the architect of Football’s worst financial scandals WAS ‘RE-ELECTED’ WITH A BIG MAJORITY in another of his ORCHESTRATED SUGAR-DADDY ‘ELECTIONS.

    His resignation is DIRECTLY LINKED to the Fact Blatt€r could not make any more DISLOYAL-PAYMENTS a.k.a. DIRTY-PAYMENTS a.k.a. KICK-BACKS a.k.a. SUGAR-DADDY ‘ELECTION’ SWEETENERS to the 133 Football Association ‘presidents’ (who ‘voted’ to ‘re-elect’ him), because FIFA IS BANKRUPT and Blatt€r’s access to ‘FREE-CASH’ had been taken away from him!

    Football’s International Fraudster’s Association – FIFA – have already declared a loss and this is the tip of the iceberg. In essence, WE – THE PEOPLE – IN 2O9 Countries financed the rise and fall of Blatt€r, J€rom€ Valck€ and the PERSONAL-FINANCING LIFESTYLE AND STOLEN-ASSET CARTELS they operate in 2O9 Countries AT TAX PAYER’s EXPENSE – with the criminal-collusion of Football Association ‘presidents’ and Football Association ‘officials’ who – like Blatt€r – try to hang on to ‘power’ / office to keep hidden their 24 / 7 / 365 crimes. They have all been overtaken by their crimes and now it’s a matter of time before detentions across the World must surely happen.

    The Malawi National Flag, our Anthem and various National Symbols HAVE BEEN ABUSED IN THEIR PURSUIT OF CORRUPTION TO FINANCE THEIR INSATIABLE GREED. The National Flags, National Anthems and National Symbols of 2O8 other Countries were also abused repeatedly.

    Walter Nyamilandu CANNOT THINK. He doesn’t have a functioning brain. And this is evidenced by a number of Facts including :

    Football is ONE OF THE MOST MARKETABLE PRODUCTS ON EARTH – and all he has done is wreck a number of very promising Careers by hanging-on to a position he was crisis-managing from as far back as 6 months into his first term.

    The gravity of the Global-Football crime cannot sink in and / or he is already in total-denial as to the racist, exclusionist and discriminatory roles Football Association ‘presidents’ – INCLUDING HIM – and ‘officials’ played in Blatt€r’s destruction of OUR SPORT.

    I note at the weekend Standard Bank’s withdrawal from Malawi Football Sponsorship. We should have been PARTNERS NOT ABUSERS! We should have ADDED VALUE TO THE FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE – THE SMART WAY! NOT created DISASTROUS MEDIA HEADLINES 365 DAYS IN THE YEAR! What took Standard Bank so long?! Was this another of Football’s infamous ‘KICK-BACK SPONSORSHIP SCAMS’?

    I draw your attention to a number of Football, Sport and corruption issues – below – linked and not directly linked to Football and Sport. This is to demonstrate various corrupt issues relating to the CARTELS that bleed Football and Sport for the ILLEGAL FINANCIAL BENEFIT OF INDIVIDUALS. Now you know why THEY NEVER WANT TO LEAVE OFFICE – EVEN WHEN CRISIS-MANAGING FOOTBALL AND SPORT 24 / 7 / 365 AND THEIR SELL-BY DATE IS LONG EXPIRED! And you also know why they continue to TALK TO THE SELF-ANOINTED ‘EXPERTS’ at our expense. See the notes below on Mark Gleeson.

    Football and Sport ARE NOT YOUR PERSONAL PIGGYBANKS TO RAID. They never were.

    And You Can’t Delay The Inevitable Forever!

    DON’T ALLOW WIMBLEDON TO BE ‘SEEDED’!
    ‘Seeding’ is how corrupt ‘officials’ in Football, Tennis, Golf, Athletics, Boxing MANIPULATE EVERYTHING INCLUDING ‘WORLD CUPS’. You see, IT’s ALL RED – RACISM, EXCLUSION and DISCRIMINATION!

    CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS, CERTAIN CLUBS, CERTAIN CONTINENTS and CERTAIN
    COUNTRIES are believed by ‘officials’ in FIFA, UEFA, International Organized Crime – a.k.a. the IOC – Tennis, Golf, Boxing etc to MARKET FIFA and the other SPORT CARTELS better than others. And it’s done @ TAX-PAYER’s EXPENSE allowing Adidas type ‘sponsors’ to cut ties and run – when they see trouble. It also leaves US – THE TAX PAYER – WITHOUT OUR CONSENT OR CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE TO DO SO – FINANCING CORRUPTION VIA THE JOSEPH SEPP
    BLATTERS AND THEIR AFRICAN, ASIAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN SLAVES AND PLANTS –
    INCLUDING WALTER NYAMILANDU – WHO DO THE DIRTY WORK – AND SOMETIMES DON’T ‘GET PAID’ ……….. which reminds Me of Joseph Sepp Blatter ‘winning’ ‘re-election’ ……… and then abandoning HIS ‘ELECTORATE’ IN THE MISTAKEN BELIEF HE WOULD LEAVE THEM TO FACE THE MUSIC WITHOUT HIM!

    THANK YOU Mr JACOB ZUMA – explained below – for CHANGING THE RULES and NOT SHIFTING THE GOAL POSTS!

    Your FIFA

    IVAN MARK RADHAKRISHNAN
    Your First International Football Activist

    ★ Mr JACOB ZUMA / President of The Republic of South Africa

    Thank You Sir for SETTING AN INTERNATIONAL-PRECEDENT AGAINST CORRUPTION BY AGREEING TO PAY-BACK TO THE SOUTH AFRICAN PEOPLE WHAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!

    Legally and even by state-force NO ONE NOW CAN DENY THE PEOPLE’s PROPERTY BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE. And this includes MONEYS ILLEGALLY SPENT ON PERSONAL ITEMS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, RELATIVES, ‘FRIENDS’, ‘ASSOCIATES’, SUGAR-DADDY ‘ELECTION’ ‘ELECTORATES’ etc and moneys illegally held in foreign ‘banks’.

    THERE IS NO DEFENSE! I will leave this here WITHOUT BRINGING IN THE ISSUE OF LYINGU NDER OATH AND DELAYING COURT TIME!

    ★ Swiss ‘parliament’ continues to ‘debate’ FIFA and the WORST TAX SCAM KNOWN TO MAN.

    Football’s International Fraudster’s Association knew what they doing. And it was all for PERSONAL
    GAIN. TAX PAYER’s AND BILLIONS OF UNDER-FINANCED PEOPLE WITHOUT OUR CONSENT
    FINANCED THIS CRIME.

    I AM SEEKING US$1 BILLION COMPENSATION for The People of Malawi from the CARTELS THAT OPERATE SWITZERLAND.

    I alone can do this because I have documented various issues relating to this crime for over a
    decade. And I will not be silenced by corruption. I demanded they stop. First I was threatened with legal action by FIFA on behalf of Joseph Sepp Blatter and the criminals around the World he was desperate to ‘protect’. And then there was an engineered ‘total silence’!

    I need direction here – not necessarily legal related. MALAWI HAS THE LEGITIMATE RIGHT TO CLAIM COMPENSATION and I want everyone in the government, sport, the media locally and internationally who can assist to contact Me – +265 (O)888 245 818 / IvanMarkR@gmail.com
    – and facilitate this.

    A WARNING HERE / THIS IS A LEGITIMATE AND GENUINE CLAIM ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE OF MALAWI and I hope to God no one – in Malawi or outside – tries to sabotage it.

    THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS DEMANDED COMPENSATION FROM CRIMINAL LANCE ARMSTRONG FOR THEFT. I DON’T THINK WE NEED ANY ANYTHING HIGHER THAN THIS ANTI-CORRUPTION ACTION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND WHAT Mr JACOB ZUMA HAS DONE!

    ★ The role the media plays in promoting and / or facilitating corruption
    What do they know? And, when did they know it?

    ★ The Judiciaries in 2O9 Countries
    Why are they still silent? Legally-compromised / Legally-indefensible?

    How did no one notice the anomalies? How did Joseph Sepp Blatter continue for years stating Jack Warner and Mohamed Bin Hammam committed FRAUD …………… but they continued to receive payments to keep them silent? How did so many countries continue ignoring the Facts?

    ★ The FBI
    Does Walter Nyamilandu think he is operating under the radar of The FBI? Is he this stupid? And will we be made to pick up the tabs when the inevitable happens?

    209 FA ‘presidents’ plus the ex and formers from the past will UNDER OATH commit PERJURY?

    ★ INTERPOL / Who is fighting MATCH-FIXING now?
    The US$29m ‘deal’ Joseph Sepp Blatter got involved in to extort money from FIFA was abrogated when INTERPOL got out of it. I want the money to be put into a Trust for the Welfare of Staff of two Hospitals in Malawi.

    This BRIBE should never have been taken by INTERPOL. When Blatter ‘offered’ it to them in 2011, HIS DETENTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATELY EFFECTED. But, WE KNOW WHY IT WASN’T. I wrote strongly against this issue and knew – even at that time – that INTERPOL could do nothing and would do nothing. I OWN WHAT FOOTBALL NEEDS TO MANAGE INTO OBLIVION MATCH-FIXING. Refer to My Facebook Page and that of IMR’s Sporting World.

    ★ Jeffrey Webb / Obviously NO ONE is fighting RACISM now that Webb is in US custody!
    And this crime continues with the media playing it down as often as they need to.

    I OWN WHAT GLOBAL-FOOTBALL NEEDS TO END ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR IN FOOTBALL. It is fully documented and THE SOLUTION has been available for over 10 years!

    Lazio / Racism and another ‘punishment’ that does not work

    Again FIFA have ‘punished’ racism with a ‘punishment’ THAT DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS INSULTING IN THE EXTREME and more so for Me who knows I HAVE MADE AVAILABLE TO FIFA AND GLOBAL FOOTBALL 4 SYSTEMS THAT WILL END FOOTBALL-RELATED RACISM AND ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR.

    ★ Mark Gleeson and all those ‘experts’!

    Mark Gleeson is a paid-con. He can’t explain what he is doing when he ‘analyses’ MATCH-FIXED Football’ can he?!

    All the ‘media’experts should be investigated. Gleeson (BBC and DStv / SuperSport), Kalusha Bwalya (Zambia FA / DStv / SuperSport), Thomas Kwenaite (DStv / SuperSport), Idah Peterside (DStv / SuperSport), Jay Jay Okocha (DStv / SuperSport) etc have been ‘promoted’ as experts. What does this ‘expertise’ amount to when they analyze MATCH-FIXED ‘football’ in empty stadiums?

    ★ Report Corruption / I am doing this and I demand responses! The Nation’s Adverts on reporting corruption are meaningless when your journalists refuse to talk to Me

    ★ Incompetence / Corruption / Why are we INTEREST-FREE TAX-FINANCING THIS CRIME?

    ★ Interim president / FIFA should have AN INTERIM PRESIDENT NOMINATED

    ★ Mussa Bility / Once again HE IS GIVEN THE BBC’s MIC. And ONCE AGAIN IT IS KIND OF IRRELEVANT what he is saying!

    ★ Under oath / When do the Football Association ‘presidents’ and ‘officials’ – current, ex and former
    – tell THE WHOLE TRUTH UNDER OATH?

    ★ Who is financing this / Our Constitution

    ★ FIFA is functioning without a president or general secretary. When Football’s fake ‘presidents’ and ‘officials’ are detained, these Positions will remain vacant UNTIL HONEST AND COMPETENT PEOPLE ARE FOUND TO TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE.

    ★ AMG Global / Their role in this crime needs to be assessed and compensation paid. Reference is made to a Daily Times article of Monday March 2 2OI5.

    ★ Disloyal-Payments / When does THE TRUTH GET TOLD? It is NOT ONLY THE DIRTY-PAYMENTS TO MICHEL PLATINI THAT WERE MADE

    ★ Malawi April 2OO2 and a PART-BRIBE OF US$5,OOO.OO arrives with Blatter, Ismail Bhamjee,
    Mohamed Bin Hammam as they travel Africa on their way to whipping Issa Hayatou – WITH THE HELP OF AFRICA. BUT, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BALANCE?

    ★ Interest-Free Tax-Financing / Nothing in OUR CONSTITUTION allows us to finance corruption

    ★ Adidas / They have withdrawn from the IAAF. Why is it so hard for THE PEOPLE IN 2O9 COUNTRIES TO STOP FINANCING CORRUPTION – even if it is state-sponsored and state-sanctioned?

    ★ The English Premier League / SKy / BT Sponsorship
    Anyone know? The English Premier League operators are not going to VET FOR ILLEGAL-DRUGS, MATCH-FIXING ETC THE PLAYERS currently in the League and those who may transfer in? TAKE
    THIS AS A WARNING!
