Kaizer Chiefs changed how they buy players after signing Khama Billiat from Mamelodi Sundowns without paying a transfer fee. The Zimbabwe star played for Chiefs from 2018 to 2023 but failed to meet club hopes. Team bosses felt his play did not match his large paycheck. Soccer Laduma reports the Soweto club learned hard lessons from these deals. The team also signed Keagan Dolly for major money but saw poor results.
Chiefs leaders believe they wasted cash on both stars and want different types of players. The club refuses to chase Percy Tau because of this new thinking. A team insider said the club paid huge salaries but got little back from their investments. The source explained that Chiefs will look at other attacking players instead of targeting Tau. Football can change quickly but Chiefs have no current interest.
The club wanted Billiat to stay when his contract ended but the player picked a different path. He returned home to Zimbabwe and joined Yadah FC. The move surprised many fans who expected him to find another top African club. Billiat chose the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League team over other options. His departure closed a difficult chapter for both player and club.
