His manager, James Kasambala, has now addressed the situation, attributing the issue to a supplier delay.
“It is so hard to explain to the public, but all I can say is the supplier delayed the delivery,” Kasambala said. “What I can promise is that in the next game on the 19th, he [Isaac] will be in new boots.”
Despite the controversy surrounding his footwear, Kaliati’s quality on the pitch remains undisputed. His match-winning goal against Dedza proved crucial as Mighty Wanderers continue their pursuit of the league championship.
