Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter was a happy man as he welcomed back five of his six squad members from international duty.
Kaizer Chiefs ace Khama Billiat has penned an emotional farewell message to fellow Zimbabwean footballer Willard Katsande.
Katsande’s lengthy stay at Kaizer Chiefs came to an end last month after the club decided against extending the 35-year-old’s contract at Naturena.
His compatriot Khama Billiat has since taken to social media to pay tribute to ‘Salt and Vinegar’ after spending the last three years together at the Glamour Boys.
Billiat pens emotional farewell message to ex Kaizer Chiefs teammate Katsande
“We meet to Part and part to meet” Khama Billiat titled his social media post toward former Kaizer Chiefs teammate Willard Katsande.
“A brother who gave me support when I needed the most, the protection you gave me from the time we joined Ajax it’s something I didn’t think I was going to have. It wasn’t a bloomy start, there are times the terrain was hard for me but you could find a way to tell me how good I am how no mater how tougher it got on the other side.
“You always pushed me and assured me you will do everything to make me get back to the top. I can’t mention enough times at Kaizer Chiefs and the national team you protected me like your own son. You one of the best brothers that gave me comfort in times and ways I never thought, in all fairness I don’t think I have thanked you enough as a brother that has done so much since my day one in South Africa.
“Yet again we part ways on the professional scene as teammates but not as brothers. I will forever wish you the best in all your endeavors, your hard work will always be your identity, your selflessness will always be your DNA and your Legendary status will always be your key that will unlock new and more avenues in your career after Kaizer Chiefs! A new challenge has been unlocked. See you in the tunnel, see you on the pitch my new opponent.”
Willard Katsande spent almost 10 years at Kaizer Chiefs and has since signed for DStv Premiership newcomers Sekhukhune United FC.
