An insider close to the club has indicated that the club has not yet released the players as they want to know their predicament first before going on off season.
"The players have been told to stay on until month end and continue training. Apparently they want to buy a status and that's why they can't release the players at the moment because it's believed they are believed to be planning to buy a PSL status, " the source told Soccer Laduma.
The source further added that they are still training because there is still a case the team is pursuing.
"They say we have to keep training as there is a case and we could still have games to play. So we are still here," the source revealed to Soccer Laduma.
