Kekana: Little Room For Billiat To Express Himself At Chiefs

Kekana: Little Room For Billiat To Express Himself At Chiefs

Hlompho Kekana

Former Mamelodi Sundowns captain Hlompho Kekana has questioned Kaizer Chiefs over their treatment of star attacker, Khama Billiat.

Billiat, according to a statement released by Chiefs, has gone AWOL.

This after Amakhosi offered the Zimbabwean attacker a new contract upon the expiry of his deal on June 30; although it included a pay-cut as first reported by the Siya crew.

However, Chiefs revealed that they have made no contact with Billiat, who technically is a free agent.

Now Kekana, who knows Billiat well from his time at Sundowns, has leaped to the defence of the attacker revealing that Chiefs' offer did not provide the necessary security needed by Billiat.

"I don't know if Chiefs know what they are doing especially in terms of their star players. Because as a big team, you need your best performers," he told SABC's Soccer Zone.

"In the last three years, he hasn't been playing and has been out of the team quite often, so for me I would easily try to risk him. Give him a pay cut as they say but give me more years.

"As a player, you need security more than anything else, because I want to play for you, but you are giving me six months. I can't even prove myself in that six months because I'm playing under pressure, there's little room for me to express myself.

"We talk about form, as a striker you are only judged by how you do in front of the goals."
