Mookodi resigned from his position this week citing unpaid dues as the reason behind his shock departure from the club. Mookodi told Mmegi Sport yesterday that he is owed in the range of P20,000 and has not been given a satisfactory response from the management about the issue. “Since I joined the club in September last year, I have not been getting my salary and I have been patient because I knew the club’s financial situation at the time.
