SAFA vice-president Linda Zwane has addressed concerns around Banyana Banyana after reports revealed that the squad had boycotted training due to unpaid monies from as far back as April.
The Women's Africa Cup of Nations defending champions have set up camp in Morocco, where they will kick off the defence of their title against Ghana on Monday next week.

However, controversy had erupted in camp when it emerged that the players had refused to train on Friday, as per SABC Sport.
The scenario is all too familiar for the South African women's football team, as players also had to resort to similar resolutions following a delay in payments ahead of the 2023 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, SAFA vice-president Zwane insisted the matter had been resolved.
"We are aware of the situation in Morocco. We have dealt with the matter swiftly after it appeared," Zwane said.
"It was made known to us. It’s a minor issue. The payments of the previous games that they played, particularly the Malawi game, which the association had undertaken to address that particular matter.
"So, there is an agreement that has been reached with the team through their captain (Refiloe Jane).
"As far as we are concerned, that particular matter is now buried. The association has made commitments to address that, making sure that players continue with preparations.
"So, we had a discussion with the captain of the team and the HOD. We were then able to agree, and we also sent the necessary commitments.

"Thus far, the reports we are getting are that the team is back at training.
