Banyana training camp
The wage dispute between defending Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) champions, Banyana Banyana and the South African Football Association (SAFA) has been resolved.
Speaking after the SAFA Congress held in Sandton, SAFA CEO Lydia Monyepao acknowledged that match bonuses weren’t paid but said the matter has now been settled.
The players refused to attend a scheduled training session in Casablanca on Thursday ahead of the WAFCON tournament starting in Morocco next weekend, due to unpaid wages.
Meanwhile, nothing has come from the planned motion for Danny Jordaan to step aside as President of the South African Football Association.
At least four SAFA regions intended to table the motion at yesterday’s SAFA Congress in Sandton but the matter was not even discussed.
The disgruntled regions wanted Jordaan temporarily removed because of his ongoing court case after he was arrested and charged for fraud last year. He is out on bail.
