BFA, BNSC to finalise Zebras' COSAFA incentives

Zebras kick-off their campaign against South Africa on July 6, 2021. BFA chief executive officer (CEO), Goabaone Taylor said they have done everything to ensure that the team is well resourced ahead of the trip to Port Elizabeth. She said the team has committed to play all the games up to the final. “That is a very key commitment that we have found it fit to look into and see how best we can be able to support them. We are currently working with the government to see the sort of incentives and allowances that we can put in place for them. I can confirm that those are discussions that are ongoing. Hopefully, we can be able to conclude as soon as possible before the tournament starts,” Taylor said during a media briefing on Wednesday.

The issue of allowances has in the past caused a fallout between the players and the association. Recently the Zebras camp was rocked by another strike with players calling for issues of welfare to be looked into. Some of the players left camp although the association managed to convince others to return.
