Township Rollers' boss Somerset Gobuiwang has said they have not been paid R1.4 million by South African soccer giants Orlando Pirates for the sale of international midfielders, Boitumelo Mafoko and Joel Magorosi.

"If we had received the money as some people are saying, you could tell from the level of excitement in our camp. The truth is, Pirates have not yet paid us for the players. We sold the players to Pirates. We wrote letters of release to Pirates. But the truth is they have not paid us for the players," Gobuiwang said in a phone interview on Saturday.

The Rollers boss asserted that he is one of the most frustrated men in local football after the two midfielders returned home from Pirates under controversial circumstances, claiming they had been ill-treated by the South African club. Last week, Mogorosi told a South African publication that the move to Pirates has been stalled by a misunderstanding between their agent Gobuiwang and the club.
