Highlanders FC players have refused to train until they are paid their January salaries.
The club has thus been forced to cancel this week’s training programme.
One of the players who spoke to the Chronicle on Wednesday had this to say:
It’s simple, we want our January salaries. Of course, we understand that the club is still talking to sponsors, but our landlords don’t care about that; they just want their rentals paid.
We also have to feed our families and people who’ve been bailing us out are also getting fed up.
What we’ve agreed to is that we will only start training when our January salaries have been paid. The treasurer (Ndebele) told us that the latest we can get our money is next week Tuesday and we said fine, we will report for work, but will not train.
We know that Caps United have made a plan and paid their players January salaries, why can’t the club also do the same.
