CONFIRMED: Members of the blackstars team rewarded massively!
CONFIRMED: Each member of the Black Stars playing body, technical staff and management team will be rewarded with a Jeep Grand Cherokee for placing second at the just ended AFCON in Equatorial Guinea. Just as the $ 25,000 cash gift, though unceremoniously
announced by the president of Ghana but his
government disassociated itself, the Jeep gift is no an exception. The Ghana Football Association and the Gov't of Ghana say a private company (Tanink Ghana) is making the donation to the Black Stars as sign of appreciation. The report say Tanink have been touched by the Black Stars sacrifice of risking their lives to play against Ebola stricken countries and making the dangerous trip to Equatorial Guinea. The gift is worth over $2 million. Meanwhile, concrete information available indicates that one of the Jeep cars was picked up by the Ministry of
Youth and Sports weeks ago and has been registered and being driven by the deputy
chief driver of the ministry. Though the donation has not been officially donè,
someone at the ministry has had his share but still, government says they know nothing about the reward.
