Controversial Kakamega Homeboyz fc founder and chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has scoffed at AFC Leopards fans for mocking his club’s ouster from the CAF Confederation Cup at preliminary stage.
Homeboyz were hammered 4-1 on the road after holding out for a scoreless draw at home. Ingwe fans, Homeboyz’ native rivals in Ingo threw shades at the performance much to the chagrin of Shimanyula who never runs away from confrontations.
