Several first-team players at Motsepe Foundation Championship side Platinum City Rovers are reportedly refusing to attend training sessions in the latest financial dispute to hit a PSL outfit.
Former deputy secretary-general at SAFPU, Calvin Motloung is claiming that as many as eight players have approached the players' union regarding unpaid salaries.

"I'm being called by players, and trying to assist them with the my legal team that I'm working with," Motloung tells KickOff.
"Eight players I'm representing at Platinum City Rovers have not been paid.
"From last month [February] they were not paid where some have even not been paid for three months with others as far back as last year.
"Some of the issues are contractual issues, with others their matter is already with the DRC.
"If players don't get assistance from anywhere else and they ask me to help them, I will always be there for them.
"The players are not training at Platinum; I've been talking to the boys who called me, so even now, they are not training.
"They do go to the gym, but no one is talking to them, no one is coming to address them.
"They were not paid for the end of February, and they are still owed last season's salaries.
"But all along these boys have been going to training, but recently they decided to stop.
"The PSL has given the club a three days' notice, telling them to appear on Thursday."
Platinum City Rovers chairman Tyzer Temo could not be reached for comment after several attempts.
Rovers are currently in 14th position in the Motsepe Foundation Championship standings with 26 points with six fixtures remaining.
