In solidarity with the club's staff members who have not received their salaries in the past three months, Bloemfontein Celtic players have downed tools again.
A source at Celtic told Sowetan that players refused to train on Tuesday and yesterday, threatening to boycott their penultimate league clash away to Highlands Park that's billed for Saturday at Makhulong Stadium.
"Players are saying enough is enough. Though they've been receiving their salaries recently, they want justice for people like cleaners and groundsmen, because it's been about three months those guys have not been getting paid,'' the source said."There was no training session on Tuesday at all. and today [yesterday] there was no morning session.
"The boys [players] have told [chairman] Max Tshabalala that if he does not pay the staff, they will not travel to Tembisa for the next match against Highlands.'' While the club's chief executive Khumbulani Konco refused to take questions yesterday, saying"it's a holiday". Attempts to get hold of Tshabalala proved futile as he never answered his phone.
