Some of the girls have resorted to borrowing in order to survive and this trend has adversely affected the team’s performance in the League.
“Most of us are bread winners in our families. We have been subjected to a lot of sufferings and humiliation as we can not afford to pay some bills and even cater for our needs, said one of the players who pleaded anonymity.
“Our landlords are threatening to close our houses at our various destinations. We are forced to borrow to feed our families,” another key player of the team said.
“Our coaches are the hope we have as they tell us to always give our best despite the shortcomings. We are not happy and might move to clubs ready to cater for our needs,” some of the aggrieved girls disclosed to the Press.
The players might embark on strike in order to press for their needs a source close to the team said.
