Troubled Siwelele boss struggles to keep coffers flowing

Players travel by bus as club does not have money

There is already trouble in paradise at Siwelele FC as head honcho Calvin Le John, the eldest son of South African sports minister Gayton McKenzie, is said to be struggling to keep the Betway Premiership side afloat.

And as a result of his pockets emptying, Le John decided to save money at the expense of his players, by making them travel by bus to all six league matches that they have played so far this season. This is, according to well-placed informants, who said the club cannot afford to book flights.

News reaching this publication is that the situation worsened when the said team bus broke down on its way to KwaZulu-Natal to face Durban City at the Chatsworth Stadium.

Siwelele are said to have arrived two hours before kickoff, resulting in the team losing the match 2-0, their fourth defeat of the season after six outings.
