'He's getting old': Ex-Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat's form divides fans
Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Khama Billiat divide fans on Instagram following his dip in form. During his peak days, Khama had arguably been Zimbabwe's nest player for the past decade. During those days, he showcased his class across Africa, winning the CAF Champions League with Mamelodi Sundowns. At Sundowns, he became one of the best in South Africa and attracted the interest of Kaizer Chiefs. Unfortunately, his Kaizer Chiefs stint did not go as both parties wanted. Khama failed to produce the level he showed at Sundowns until he left for Zimbabwean side Yadah FC. When Khama joined Yadah FC, he produced a top performance that made him the season's top goal scorer. His performances with the national team were also fair, as the Warriors' performance improved. At the end of last season, he joined Scotland FC, a star-studded newly promoted team. Unfortunately, Khama has struggled to find his best form, and fans have started questioning him. @zimcelebs_official started the debate on Instagram, leaving fans divided. 'Vanhu vebhora chete zvisina ma feelings… here is open discussion. Has Khama Billiat lost his momentum? With only one goal in eight matches, concerns about his performance are being raised, especially considering that he is the highest-paid player in the Premier League. What are your thoughts on this situation?' Zim Celebs asked. After this question, fans came in numbers, giving their opinions. Click here to follow through with the debate. Many fans still believed former Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat was not finished and would regain his best form, while some believed his time was up. @Dawson 'The brother is slowly getting old, so whatever is happening is normal .' @SHAWN 'Form is temporary class is permanent akaipa face you 👏' @Welcome🙂to Harkeem's!!!
