Khama Billiat plays forward for Scottland FC and makes more money than any other player in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League this year. Before coming back home, he played for big South African teams like Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns. Nobody knew exactly how much he earned at Chiefs after moving there from Sundowns back in 2018. He started earning big paychecks when he joined Yadah FC, taking home about $5,000 each month during last season.
His Yadah contract ended last December, but moving to Scottland FC only made him richer. Reports say he earns around $6,000 monthly these days, keeping his top-earner status. The second highest-paid player happens to be his teammate Walter Musona, who makes $3,500 per month. Walter comes from good soccer stock as the younger brother of former national team captain Knowledge Musona. Emmanuel Jalai from Dynamos FC ranks third on the pay scale with monthly earnings of $2,500.
Scottland FC has quickly become one of the richest clubs in Zimbabwe. They attract major money from sponsors like Betterbrands, Sakunda Holdings, IMC Communications, and Ecobank. All this financial muscle helps them afford star players like Billiat and Musona, giving them a competitive edge against other teams in the league. Their financial strength showed immediately as they started their season with a win.
Fans have patiently waited to see Billiat play for his new team. He missed the first game, when Scottland beat Triangle FC 1-0, due to an injury. The wait should end soon, though, as he plans to debut against Caps United this Sunday at Rufaro Stadium. At 34 years old, Billiat brings valuable experience to Scottland FC as they look to establish themselves as a powerhouse in Zimbabwean soccer going forward.
