After struggling to find a club in the DStv Premiership, attacker Khama Billiat is likely to restart his career in Zimbabwe, it has emerged.
The former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns star, Khama Billiat, is being linked with Harare giants Dynamos FC.
Another club, Manica Diamonds, has also expressed interest in signing the former Glamour Boys star player. Kudakwashe Mahachi is also said to be on his way to Dynamos after being released by Medeama SC of Ghana last month.
More so, Billiat has been clubless since leaving Kaizer Chiefs during the 2023/24 pre-season after ignoring a contract renewal opportunity.
The 32-year-old has made several attempts to bounce back into the DStv Premiership, including training with SuperSport United.
Cape Town City FC were also reported to be angling for his services, but nothing materialized.
ZIM GIANTS DYNAMOS’ POSITION ON KHAMA BILLIAT
A source in the Dynamos FC executive told FARPost that they want Billiat because of his vast experience.
“Khama Billiat remains a good player, and he would be a great addition to our team. We will definitely need the experience when we play in the CAF Confederations Cup,” said the source. “So, we would be happy to have one of the two, Billiat or Kuda Mahachi. But for now, nothing has been finalised yet. We are still talking.
“He [Billiat] will obviously come at a higher price because of his profile. This also comes at a time when we have concluded our budgets. However, we will see how best to deal with the situation,” the source said.
Reports in Zimbabwe reveal that the ex-Zimbabwe international is expected in the country on Thursday to complete his move to Dynamos.
Although he has failed to get an SA local club, Billiat left an indelible mark since he arrived in the DStv Premiership in 2010. That time, he joined Ajax Cape Town.

After three years, he moved to Mamelodi Sundowns, where he won big, under the then mentorship of Pitso Mosimane. Billiat clinched seven trophies with Sundowns, including three league titles, a CAF Champions League and a CAF Super Cup title.
The accolades also include the Telkom Knockout Cup and the Nedbank Cup titles between 2013 and 2018. At an individual level, he won top awards. These include the PSL Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season.
He also accounted for Midfielder of the Season in 2016 with Sundowns. Billiat finished as runner-up to Denis Onyango for the CAF African Player of the Year based in Africa award for 2016.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe’s PSL is set to kick off on 24 February. However, Dynamos will start with the Castle Challange Cup on Saturday against Ngezi Platinum Stars.
