Are contracts worth the paper they are written on?

Some clubs like Mochudi Centre Chiefs and Gaborone United have in the past been heavily penalised for failure to pay players and coaches.

Other clubs have often been dragged to the Labour Department or the Industrial Court over pay disputes. More than a year ago an incident featuring Ugandan footballer, Lawrence Ndunga highlighted the level of injustice that is often faced by local players at the hands of their clubs. Ndunga posted on social media that he was starving and had been kicked out of the house by his landlord because the club had not paid his rental. The club was also in salaries arrears. Nduga’s contract was then, reluctantly terminated by Sharps.
