SA Trio To Take Botswana Club To FIFA For Non-Payment
A group of South African players are considering to take Botswana Premier League club VTM FC to FIFA to fight their non-payment of salaries.
As previously reported by the Siya crew, South African players Lucky Mokoena, Rooi Mahamutsa and Sifiso Myeni were not paid salaries for May and this problem continued into June as well. They are now seeking payment for May and June, and it's been a difficult process trying to receive their payment.Reports coming out of Botswana suggest that VTM are looking to sell their top flight status, which is a concern for the South African trio who are waiting to get paid.
Mokoena, a former Free State Stars player, has spoken to the Siya crew about how difficult it's been for them to get paid. According to Mokoena, the club had promised to pay the players on July 20, but that did not happen. It's believed that players from Botswana have been paid, but foreigners are yet to get any bank notifications.
"The situation is that our contracts expired in June, but the we have not been paid for May and June," Mokoena said to the Siya crew."It's only the foreigners who have not been paid. The rest have been paid. If you send him messages, he does not respond to them. We've been patient for some time and it's almost three months. It means the last time we got paid was April and the league is going to start in September.
