In the latest incident, Galaxy players, technical team and support staff held a meeting on Wednesday at Sturrock Park after training to discuss the issue of non-payment of salaries at the club.

The club's head coach Sead Ramovic and team manager, Njabulo Sukazi, were among those in attendance.

The Siya crew is in possession of a recording where senior players like Bernard Parker and Xola Mlambo deliberated on the matter and offered suggestions on the way forward.

Among other points made, the senior players suggested that those in position to assist should do so by contributing money from their own pockets to assist their teammates and other employees of the club.                   

As confirmed to the Siya crew by insiders, the seven players who allegedly haven't been paid include Vuyo Mere, Ebrahim Seedat, Masilake Phohlongo, Nkosikhona Radebe, Wensten van der Linde, Mike Sebelebele and Lebone Seema.

The technical team members who allegedly haven't received their salaries include Ncwadi Saki (video analyst), Phumzile Mathebula (masseur), Hloni Tekane (physical trainer), Phuphu Mohlaba (assistant coach), Linathi Mbini (physiotherapist) and Nkanyiso Cele (kit manager).

According to sources, goalkeeper trainer Greg Etafia had been part of the list but has since been paid following a bereavement in his family.

Club president Tim Sukazi was not part of the meeting and the players voiced their displeasure regarding his absence, as they expected to get answers from him on their queries.  

The masseur (Mathebula) appeared to be one of the most affected employees and couldn't contain his emotions as he stood up and walked out soon after the team manager started addressing those in attendance.    

Attempts were made by the Siya crew to contact the club's management, but proved futile at the time of publishing.
