DYNAMOS players are threatening to boycott the Chibuku Super cup semi-final against Highlanders unless the club management pays their bonuses.
The situation escalated on Friday (today) when players decided to down tools on the final day of preparation for the crucial tie.
This boycott has exposed the club executive that seemed to have taken a back seat, taking advantage of concerned stakeholders who were coming on board to motivate the boys in their league matches by giving them incentives.
The situation has not been made any better by the fact that players were told the club has funds, but there is the lack of commitment to address players’ concerns.
“They sent Board Member marketing to come and address us, so he told us that they can not give us a tentative date as to when they can pay us,” said a player that requested anonymity.
“He tried to force us to train but we cannot be pushed in a time like this so we told him that they have up to Saturday mid-day to pay us, or else we are boycotting the match.”
Dynamos players are said to be owed atleast US$1000 each by the club. Salaries are paid straight into their accounts by the sponsor.
