The Zimbabwean international joined Chiefs from rivals Mamelodi Sundowns on a free transfer a few seasons back, over much fanfare. Having had a very successful spell with the Brazilians at the peak of his powers, a spell that saw him win the CAF Champions League, several league titles and domestic titles as well as play in the FIFA Club World Cup, Billiat was undoubtedly a massive coup for the Glamour Boys.

What made the signing evening bigger for Chiefs is the fact that they had reportedly thwarted some of the biggest clubs from North Africa, as well as Europe for Billiat’s services. The expectation was that he would be a key component in leading the club back to its former glory days, but that has not proven to be the case during his time at the club.

The closest Billiat has come to winning silverware with Chiefs has been the 2019/2020 season, where they finished runners up on the last day to Sundowns.

Speaking of “as good as it gets”, no Chiefs player has been able to surpass the amount of assists Billiat has laid in the current season, despite not featuring for the club since 2022. The trickster has only featured nine times in the DStv Premiership for Amakhosi this season. In those nine appearances, he has amassed for assists, while failing to find the back of the net.  

Chiefs targeting playmakers to replace Billiat next season

Keagan Dolly, who is also now out for the rest of the season, is the only player who matches Billiat, having also got four assists. This shows a great lack of creative in the Chiefs squad, an area they seem to be hard at work trying to fix, having reportedly signed Mduduzi Mdantsane and targeting Junior Mendieta as playmaker signings for next season.
