Billiat’s Kaizer Chiefs Future In Limbo
Zimbabwean star Khama Billiat‘s future at Kaizer Chiefs is shrouded in uncertainty, amid revelations that the Soweto giants are reluctant to extend his contract at the club.
The 32-year-old Mufakose-bred winger joined Chiefs from Mamelodi Sundowns in one of the biggest transfers in the South African Premiership, back in June 2018.
Despite being the all-time top scorer amongst the active players in the DStv Premiership with 97 goals, Billiat has been subjected to immense criticism from some Chiefs fans, who argue the diminutive winger has not replicated the form which propelled him to stardom at Sundowns.
His current contract at Amakhosi expires in June this year and a source at the club hinted it might not be renewed. The source said:
The issue with Khama (Billiat) is tricky. Though no discussions have been made, I doubt if his contract will be renewed by the club.
He is obviously a quality player but nagging injuries have affected his progress at Chiefs and it is likely that he will be released when his contract expires.
