Sydney Lokale’s stoppage time strike rescues point for AFC Leopards to ease pressure on Trucha
AFC Leopards needed a stoppage time equaliser from new signing Sydney Lokale to secure a draw from the jaws of defeat against Mara Sugar.
The demand letter comes after the goods were completed two months ago and are currently stored at the MAFRO warehouse.
"We are writing to follow up on the outstanding balance for the kits we produced for AFC Leopards," part of the letter read.
Osimbo lamented lack of commitment from the club hierarchy who she claims gave a cold shoulder when she asked for clarifications over the delayed payments.
In September, a consignment from MAFRO Sports is said to have arrived at the club but it lacked the goalkeeper’s kits, and this prompted the 12-time FKFPL champions to ask questions about the deal.
In return, MAFRO responded by asking AFC Leopards to pay a shipping fee for the remaining consignment which would cost the club around $1500 (Ksh193,000)

AFC Leopards face high-flying Mara Sugar amidst pressure on beleaguered coach Tomas Trucha
AFC Leopards coach Tomas Trucha is under pressure to deliver positive results following recent unrest from fans but can they silence highly-flying Mara Sugar?
It is said that club treasurer Oliver Napal refused to pay for the shipment fee and the deal was put to a halt. The club has been using last season’s kits on matchday and Umbro kits from the previous season for training.
Osimbo said the option of cancelling the deal will prove costly to the club.
"If nothing is done soon, we might also think about cancelling the deal through our lawyers and this will not be cheap for my beloved club."
