However, doubts arose over SAFA’s commitment before SAFA president Jordaan (pictured) confirmed in a press conference that the governing body had wired the reward to all the players.
Jordaan also further confirmed that a bonus would be extended to the technical staff.
Nathi Mthethwa, The country’s sports minister  has also promised a bonus of 5.8 million Rand ($353,86) but that reward has not yet been distributed.
Before the tournament, Jordaan had committed to addressing the pay inequality. He said: “These are issues that we have to address. I spoke to the minister [Nathi Mthethwa] and he said we will meet with the government as soon as possible because this is not FIFA’s problem, it’s not FIFA’s creation, it’s not CAF’s creation, it’s not SAFA’s creation.
“Anyone who says that is misleading you; it is a societal creation and therefore, we must work together to address this disparity between men and women in sport.
“On the African continent, Sierra Leone became the first African country to pay men and women the same after the agreement with the government and Sierra Leone football” he noted.
