The Citizen revealed how the club held a crisis meeting with players at its Sturrock Park training grounds. An SABC Sport news article stated that at least six players had not received their latest salaries.

Chairman Tim Sukazi's daughter Njabulo was quoted as saying:

Exciting feature: Check out news exactly for YOU ➡️ click on "Recommended for you" and enjoy!

"The chairman is a reasonable guy. I just want to ask if any of you has come forward and asked for a staff meeting with him? Yes, he hasn’t come now because he is trying to work on this situation that we are in right now for you guys.
“But you do not know that… It’s important to enquire at times – it’s not like we enjoy you guys not being paid. We hate it. It’s getting difficult, but we are trying. My understanding is that he came to training and spoke to some of you guys individually.”

Vilakazi scores amazing goal

It appears that Sibusiso Vilakazi's search for a new club will not be a long one after leaving TS Galaxy.

The 33-year-old former Bafana Bafana striker scored a stunning acrobatic goal in a training match with Sekhukhune United. The video was shared on Twitter by the team's coach Brandon Truter, with the clubless Vilakazi probably on trial.

Truter added that were Babina Noko to sign him, it would only be during the off-season, though pre-contracts are allowed during the closed transfer window. Vilakazi recently departed from Galaxy under a cloud, with rumours that he had fallen out with coach Sead Ramovic.

Mosimane responds angrily to Ramovic

No bad words against Sibusiso Vilakazi shall prosper as long as Pitso Mosimane is interested.

The current Al Ahli Saudi coach waded into the furore that has ensued following Sibusiso Vilakazi's sudden and controversial departure from TS Galaxy. Defending his former player at Mamelodi Sundowns following Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic's stinging criticism, Mosimane made his feelings known on Twitter.
