The former Maritzburg United coach said Bucs need to be rather cautious, especially around Khama Billiat in the box.

“We know Billiat; you touch him, small contact or any touch in the box, he’s diving in the Olympic pool,” the former striker said from Cape Town said as quoted by iDiskiTimes.

“You can go back to how many penalties Kaizer Chiefs have had in the derby,” he said on Thursday.

“I hope we can be clear in relation to penalty decisions tomorrow. Clear, structured decisions, neutral on both sides.

“I hope the referees are clear and know these things, knowing that any contact in and around the box and Orlando Pirates concede another penalty. 

“That we can be clear on and know what’s coming, especially with Kaizer Chiefs front three and Billiat,” he added.
