Gunners players earn as little as P1,200

Despite the low salaries, the Lobatse side has been struggling to keep up with payments, with players unpaid since February. Gunners, bottom of the Botswana Premier League, were thrown into further turmoil this week when Masisi resigned, joining a host of other committee members who dumped the club. Mapantsula were forced to call an urgent executive committee meeting yesterday where some critical decisions were taken.

Ngwamotsoko said a decision was taken to co-opt members to replace the departed officials. “We were able to hold our meeting yesterday with the remaining committee members where I was appointed club chairman,” Ngwamotsoko said.
