SANDTON - Banyana Banyana have downed tools ahead of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The defending champions say they have not been paid their salaries and have lodged a complaint with SAFA.
They refuse to continue with their training sessions in Morocco, where the tournament is set to kick off next Saturday.
The team last trained on Thursday, after arriving in the North African country on Wednesday.
Banyana Banyana are in Group C, alongside Ghana, Mali, and Tanzania.
The players are demanding immediate payment of outstanding salaries for their April and June camps, which were part of coach Desiree Ellis’ WAFCON preparations.
SAFA has reportedly failed to disburse these fees.
On Thursday, the team was addressed by Head of Delegation Thabile Msomi, who told players that the matter had been escalated to SAFA President Dr. Danny Jordaan.
