However, up to now, both sides are yet to receive their payments.
While Rollers point fingers at IWG for the delay, IWG on the other hand blame Rollers who they say were partners in organising the tournament. IWG marketing and public relations manager, Boitumelo Kenosi told Mmegi Sport yesterday that they were in partnership with Township Rollers who were responsible for the technical aspect of the tournament. “IWG is not responsible for crediting the prize money. Township Rollers were the ones responsible for the technical aspect,” Kenosi said. “Therefore, they should have paid the teams by now.”
