South Africa’s CHAN players continue to wait for the bonuses promised to them before the tournament, three months after returning from the competition co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
No payments have reached the squad, and the players remain without clarity on when their compensation will arrive.
The bonuses reportedly formed part of a formal agreement reached before the start of the event.
Despite that commitment, there has been no visible progress from the South African Football Association (SAFA) on fulfilling the payment terms.
Several players, who requested anonymity, believe SAFA already received the relevant funds from CAF.
However, officials have not communicated any payment timeline, deepening frustration in the camp and raising further concerns about transparency.
The silence continues to unsettle the squad. Since returning from the tournament, players have sought updates from the federation but received no concrete responses.
With each week that passes, uncertainty grows, and the team remains stuck in limbo.
The delay highlights long-standing issues around the processing of financial commitments to CHAN participants.
All players now wait for official confirmation on when they will receive their bonuses, as unanswered questions pile up and tensions rise within the group.
