Ugandan Premier League side Wakiso Giants players have taken a 50% pay cut in the wake of the current coronavirus pandemic.
According to Kawowo Sports, the Purple Sharks will now take home half the amount they have been getting in March, April, and May. The government suspended all public gatherings for 32 days to curb Covid-19 spread.
Wakiso have now followed minnows Kitara FC who agreed on the pay-cut since they were just at home not engaging in any footballing activity.
