Funds for Namibia Premier League clubs have dried up and they will now have to do without their monthly grant of N$30 000 till the end of the season.
According to a club spokesman, who preferred to stay anonymous, Premier League clubs recently received a letter from the CEO of the NPL, Mathew Haikali, informing them that they would not receive their monthly grant for April.
“Due to budgetary constraints that the league has encountered, we wont be able to release our money for April,” the letter stated.
