Job dilemma might force Sox to quit soccer

Veteran: Molwantwa

Veteran footballer, Tshepiso ‘Sox’ Molwantwa is contemplating quitting the game if no team offers him a contract that will accommodate his job demands. The Notwane striker is working for a Gaborone garage as a mechanic where he knocks off at 5:30 pm.

He said his employers are prepared to release him an hour earlier in exchange for less pay. Molwantwa said he has spoken to the Notwane management to negotiate with his employers, so that the team could compensate him for the pay he would lose at work for leaving early. However, he claims that the Notwane management has not done anything. “I don’t have time. I knock off late.  In the past, I made arrangements with my employers to knock off earlier.  But I was losing some benefits at work.  Notwane is not doing anything about it,” he said. “At my age I am concerned about my welfare,” said the 36-year-old former Botswana international. 

He said this is why he has not been training since the end of last season because by the time he reaches the training ground, it is already late.
