Cup qualifying bonuses and other payments issued to the club form part of the financial management of the club. Demands by players for specific bonus amounts to be paid at specific points in time are unfounded and damaging to the club, particularly ahead of important matches.
The focus of the club is on the upcoming matches, including the CAF Confederation Cup 2nd leg semi-final tomorrow, and we hope that the team will continue with the great performance shown throughout the competition.
