MIGHTY Warriors were paid only $15 on arrival home from a
tournament in South Africa.
The Warriors battled for a bronze medal after beating
Botswana 3-0 at the conclusion of the Cosafa Women’s Championship.
“The ladies were made to wait hours before boarding a bus
to the Zifa Village to sign for their allowances. Each player was given $15 via
EcoCash and those based outside were booked into Zifa Village to be paid the
following day.
“They were then dropped at Town House (Harare City Council
offices) and told to find their way home $15 richer,” a source told B Metro.
Zifa spokesman Xolisani Gwesela said transport allowances
were paid to the players depending on where they are based.
“It’s not true that we paid players RTGS$15, and in any
case transport allowances are not uniform and are paid depending on where each
individual player is based. The players will be paid their dues and that is a
contractual issue that is between the players and the association,” said
Gwesela.
