SuperSport United calling? Bhasera addresses Billiat’s transfer speculation
SuperSport United defender Onismor Bhasera has commented on the reports linking Khama Billiat with his club.
Billiat was spotted at the SuperSport training ground in Johannesburg on Thursday morning as they prepare for the second round of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership season.
The Ex-Mamelodi Sundowns star has been a free agent after parting ways with Kaizer Chiefs at the start of the campaign. Billiat has been without a club for over six months.
Before resurfacing at the Tshwane-based side, he was heavily linked with a return to the Premiership with Cape Town City FC.
The Citizens chairman, John Comitis, publicly expressed his interest in luring Khama Billiat into his club, but the deal didn’t materialise. Meanwhile, the skilful attacker has featured in over 100 matches for Amakhosi since he was signed from Sundowns in 2018.
In his five seasons with the Soweto giants, Billiat scored 24 goals in all competitions and contributed 29 assists.
With Billiat aiming to bring his career back on track, Bhasera has admitted that his compatriot will add value to SuperSport.

“I think our team is a bit balanced, we have the likes of Bradley Grobler, Tyson [Hlatshwayo]. We have [Siphesihle] Ndlovu, Ricardo Goss, and Grant Margeman,” Bhasera said at the Nedbank Cup Last 32 draw event in Sandton on Thursday evening.
“So you can see it’s a mixture there, him [Billiat] coming or not coming, it’s okay. He’s a quality player everyone knows about that. But right now he’s just keeping fit, we don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors.
“We’ll wait; I mean, any team would love to have Khama with his qualities. So we have fingers crossed and hope things go on our side.”
