Township Rollers Queens Cry Foul
BOTSWANA based Township Rollers Queens are up in arms with the organizers of the 2016 edition of the LM Auctioneers women’s football tournament who have not paid them their prize-money, two months after the tournament was held in Bulawayo.
The revived tournament, bankrolled by former CAPS United juniors player Lewis Muzhara, was held on December 18 at Hartsfield Rugby Grounds with seven teams participating.
Winners of the tournament pockecketed $ 3000.
Black Rhinos walloped the Botswana based side 4-0 with the runners up getting $1500 which Township Rollers Queens’ chairman Edward Obolokile claims is yet to be paid.
“We have not received our prize-money even up to now, we have been making frantic calls to the organizers who kept on shifting goalposts, at one time telling us to meet at the border before changing again and telling us that our money will be deposited in our account,” said Obolokile from Francistown, Botswana on Friday.
Muzhara however claimed he does not owe anyone anything as all the teams were paid what was due to them.
“Everyone was paid with only individual prizes outstanding due to some delays,” said Muzhara.
