It never rains, but it pours as players at a troubled PSL club may stage a protest.
In recent weeks, Marumo Gallants has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
When we thought the Libya chaos is about to come to an end, another saga resurfaces at the DStv Premiership outfit.Â
As reported by FARPost earlier today, the club might find itself without a ground [stadium] to play at, as the side terminated their agreement with the Polokwane municipality for Royal Bafokeng, Dobsonville Stadium and Mangaung last year.
Now, Bahlabane ba Ntwa have to pay R140 000 if they want to use the New Peter Mokaba Stadium or Stadium Management SA won’t allow them to enter the stadium.Â
Raymond Mdaka’s charges are set to lock horns with Chippa United on Wednesday, 12 April and SuperSport United on Tuesday, 18 April 2023 at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
PLAYERS’ STRIKE LOOMING AT MARUMO GALLANTS
In a turn of events, Gallants’ players have threatened to go on strike over “unpaid bonuses” promised by the club.
According to sources close to this publication, the players are planning to strike if the club doesn’t pay them their bonuses for qualifying for the CAF Confederation Cup group stage.
It is alleged that the club had promised to pay bonuses to the players and they are now threatening not to play until the club boss Abram Sello pays them.
NO PAY, NO PLAYÂ
“The players are not going to play until he [Abram Sello] signs the agreement,” said the source.
“PSL, SAFA, and CAF must interfere because Sello is playing with their money. He’s always telling them about his expenses but he’s the one who put himself there.
“He promised to give the players money for qualifying for group stages, and he hasn’t delivered on his promise till today.”
The source continued: “Now, the last quarterfinals money is 350k dollars [R6,4 million].
“The players are now seeking answers before they go to Egypt.”
