Kaizer Chiefs talisman Khama Billiat has cracked the nod alongside former teammates at Mamelodi Sundowns in Percy Tau and Denis Onyango.

And the inclusion of Billiat, Tau and Onyango in the Team of the Decade stems from the fact that they lifted the CAF Champions League and CAF Super Cup trophies with Sundowns in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

In scooping the award, Onyango beat then teammate Billiat to the award as the Zimbabwean attacker finished second.
