Billiat hits impressive stats as Zim league reaches halfway mark
Former Kaizer Chiefs talisman Khama Billiat is proving that he is not yet a spent force, with some impressive statistics as Zimbabwe’s PSL reaches the halfway mark.
The 33-year-old returned to Zimbabwe in February 2024 to join Yadah FC after failing to secure a club in the DStv Premiership.
Firstly, he arrived in Zimbabwe and instantly became the highest-paid player in the league. In addition, Billiat is earning R 90 000 [USD 5000] per month.
And he is living up to his billing, raising the profile of Yadah FC, who have battled relegation since they were promoted in 2016.
This weekend, the league reached its halfway mark and the stylish forward is one of the players with impressive numbers. Interestingly, this is despite his team blowing hot and cold since the season started.
HOW THE FORMER KAIZER CHIEFS TALISMAN HAS FARED HALFWAY THROUGH ZIMBABWE’S SEASON
On Saturday, he played a blinder and was on the scoresheet as they beat Highlanders 2-0 at The Heart Stadium. He was the provider for their first goal which was scored by Jerry Chipangura on the 31 minute mark.
Billiat doubled the score in the 48th minute, his sixth goal of the season. In terms of assists he has provided five for the Miracle Boys in 13 matches.
With 17 more rounds of fixtures remaining, it is not hard imagining Billiat overtaking the leading scorer who has a two-goal advantage.
Caps United striker William Manondo is the leading goal-scorer halfway into the season, with eight goals to his name.
In addition, Yadah are 14th on the log table but the former Mamelodi Sundowns man is proving doubters wrong. Moreso, he is believed to be considering coming out of retirement to help the Zimbabwe national team. Nevertheless, they were recently beating by Bafana Bafana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
How he ends the season remains to be seem, moreso with the 2024 Chibuku Super Cup on the cards.
