FUB warns clubs over salary cuts

It is nearly a month now since sporting activities were halted due to the global outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The majority of Premier League teams have started to feel the impact of inactivity, with some teams now surviving on hand-outs while some are tossing over the idea of cutting players' salaries. 

Speaking to Mmegi Sport yesterday, FUB secretary general Kgosana Masaseng warned clubs against using the COVID-19 pandemic as a scapegoat in failure to meet contractual obligations with their players. He said, in contrast, some clubs do not solely rely on gate takings for survival. Masaseng said failure to pay salaries would mean that clubs are failing to keep their contractual promises to their employees hence players would be forced to terminate their contracts.
