Zebras players will no longer receive monthly allowance with the new arrangement expected in place PIC: KEOAGILE BONANG

Football and volleyball national team players will no longer receive their monthly P1500 allowances following a Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development (MYSC) decision late last year.

A policy specialist at the Department of Sport and Recreation, Moreetsi Bogosi told Mmegi Sport that a decision had been taken to discontinue the stipend, but the Ministry will clear all outstanding allowances. The affected codes are volleyball and football.
