Tensions ease at Swallows as players get salaries

Moroka Swallows has finally resolved its salary dispute with players, according to high-ranking official Sipho Xulu.

The team had boycotted training for the past two weeks due to unpaid salaries, which resulted in a string of defeats in the DStv Premiership.

However, after the club’s chair, David Mogashoa, managed to pay the players after their last match, Xulu claims that “everything is fine now, the players are happy.

Moroka Swallows could be sold?

Xulu also addressed rumors that the club could be sold due to financial difficulties, stating that only Mogashoa could comment on the matter.

Despite these challenges, Xulu reassured fans that preparations for their next league match against Royal AM are going well.

“Otherwise every other matter, including preparations for our next league match away to Royal AM on Saturday, is going well,” Xulu said.

Coach Steve Komphela shed light on the desperate situation the team faced before their recent match against SuperSport United.

He revealed that he had to personally plead with the players to honour the match, sending them a voice note just a day before the game.

Komphela acknowledged that the result was disappointing, with the team suffering a 2-1 defeat, but emphasized the importance of respecting the game and protecting the club.

Moroka Swallows currently find themselves in 13th place in the Premiership, with five wins, three draws, and five losses this season.

While their recent boycott and financial struggles have undoubtedly affected their performance, the resolution of the salary dispute brings hope for a turnaround in their fortunes.

Fans will be relieved to hear that the players are back in training and that the team is focused on their upcoming matches.
