Machaka hope Chiefs keep Billiat


 

With few matches left before 2022/23 DStv Premiership season end, Kaizer Chiefs popular fan Machaka Mashilo is hoping Amakhosi will not release the Zimbabwean born Khama Billiat at the end of the season. 

The 31-year-old joined the Soweto Giants in 2018 on a free transfer after leaving Mamelodi Sundowns. Billiat contract with Chiefs will expire at the end of the current season. With no indications of whether Amakhosi will extend Billiat contract or not the former Ajax Cape Town player is free to sign a pre-contract with a club of his choice according to FIFA rules. 

Kaizer Chiefs faithful supporter Machaka Masilo hope Amakhosi will extend Billiat contract further despite not playing a lot of matches for Chiefs this season. Machaka believes Billiat has a lot to offer at Kaizer Chiefs.

“We still need Khama, he’s a good player [and] he won champions league with Sundowns. He came to Kaizer Chiefs he couldn’t produce the results he produced when he was at Sundowns,” says Machaka in an exclusive interview. 

“But I still believe in him I still hope he has much to offer in Naturena [a place where Kaizer Chiefs is based].

Billiat has been struggling with a game time due to injuries this season but he recently returned to Amakhosi training ground. The Kaizer Chiefs forward made eleven appearances in all competitions for his club this season. Amakhosi head coach Arthur Zwane has confirmed that Billiat might be available for the last three or four games of the season. 

“He’s been disturbed by injuries [but] injuries are part of the game. Anybody can get injury but that doesn’t mean a good player like him because of injuries we must let him go. He must remain at Kaizer Chiefs maybe one or two seasons [and] let’s see what can offer,” Machaka added.

“If you check at Kaizer Chiefs strikers who’s better than Khama? Hopefully the management will make the right decision to make sure we Khama next season and the season after as well.”

Kaizer Chiefs has begun their preparation for next season with three signings already been confirmed. Again, the addition of Christian Saile could lead to Khama Billiat not playing his football at Kaizer Chiefs next season. Saile has been one of the regular starters for Zwane’s team since he joined the Glamour Boys.

Furthermore, Amakhosi are linked with Cape Town Spurs attacker Ashley Cupido who play similar position to Khama Billiat. Cupido has scored 14-goals in 25 matches of Motsepe Foundation Championship.

It's not over yet for Bafana

  Bafana Bafana have continued to lead the World cup qualifying group G table after beating Zimbabwe 1 – 0 at FNB stadium. Teboho Mokoena goal on the 26 th minute put South Africa on top of the table. The victory against the Warriors have put South Africa on 13 points and three points clear away from Ghana who are in second position with ten points. However, Hugo Broos troops they still need to face a desperate Ghana on Sunday evening. A win or a draw in Ghana will book Bafana Bafana their ticket for the third-round play-offs, while a Ghana win will see Bafana and the Black Stars both end on 13 points and then the goal difference will decide based on FIFA rules. It should be noted, a 1-0 win to Ghana would already be enough for the Black Stars to overtake Bafana on the log based on the overall goals scored. Both teams would end with the same goal difference (+4), if Ghana win by one goal, but the Black Stars will have more goals scored (7 vs 6). South Africa are facing Black Sta

No Qatar 2022 for Bafana

Image
  South Africa will not compete to next year world cup that’s taking place in Qatar. The defeat against Ghana at Cape Coast Sports stadium has left Bafana Bafana in a swallow pill to sour. Andre Ayew who played his 100 th match today for the Black stars has converted the soft penalty against Hugo Broos troops which became the only goal for the day. It remains to be seen whether South Africa will write a letter of complain to CAF and FIFA regarding the decision that was taken by the Senegalese born Maguette Ndiaye.  Both teams finished the group G with same number of points and goal difference, but the Ghanaians will go to the play offs after scoring more goals than Bafana Bafana in the group. The last time Bafana Bafana played in a world cup it was eleven years ago when they were hosting it for the first time in time in African soil. Hugo Broos team will now have to wait for few years before they can participate on other qualifications such as Africa Cup of Nations.
