Khama Billiat joined Kaizer Chiefs in 2018 as a marquee signing that was tipped to return the club back to its glory days however things have unfortunately not gone according to plan.

In Billiat’s defence, he did join Kaizer Chiefs during a period where he was arguably the best player in the Premier Soccer League.

Though he joined the Amakhosi on a free transfer from Mamelodi Sundowns, the glitzy salary the Motaung’s had to fork out in order to lure the Zimbabwean star to Naturena with undoubtedly left an ongoing hole in the pocket.

HOW MUCH DOES KHAMA BILLIAT COST KAIZER CHIEFS?

Khama Billiat earns close to R1 million per a month at Kaizer Chiefs. The exact reported figure sits a mammoth R830 000. Billiat joined the Amakhosi in July 2018 meaning he’s received 31 paychecks at the club as of January 2021.

Khama Billiat has costed Kaizer Chiefs R25 750 000.00 thus far. By the time his current contract comes to end, which is in June 2021, Billiat would have costed the Amakhosi almost R30 million.

WAS KHAMA BILLIAT A WORTHY INVESTMENT?

It’s no secret that Khama Billiat has struggled to replicate the form he showed at Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town since joining the Amakhosi but just how worthy have his goals been?
