The 22-year-old Uganda Cranes star has been forced to devise means of survival that include “baking chapattis” and begging for financial assistance from his teammates after his club Wydad Casablanca “abandoned” him.

According to Daily Monitor, the former Busoga United forward has been struggling to make ends meet with his delicacy mainly dry tea and chapatti.

Since signing a three-year contract with Wydad in January 2020, he has only been paid “$1,400 (Shs5.2m)” dating back to February, passport taken, and left with huge rent bills.

FUFA publicist Hussein Ahmed Marsha says the federation is going to monitor the situation closely especially with the mounting queries from players who take to North Africa.

“I didn’t know what the boy (Madondo) is going through,” he told Daily Monitor when approached.
