Kaizer Chiefs are lucky to have the best player in South Africa, Khama Billiat on their team according to coach Giovanni Solinas.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns broke his duck for the Naturena-baed outfit in an impressive 3-0 victory over Free State Stars to advance to the MTN8 semi-finals where they will face SuperSport United.

Solinas praised the impact of Chiefs’ marquee signing since his arrival from Masandawana, claiming that he is the best player in the country.

‘I don’t want to disrespect other players in the PSL, but for me, Billiat is the best player in South Africa,’ he told Chiefs’ official website.

‘He can easily play in Europe and it’s a privilege to have a player like Billiat in my squad,’ he added.

The Zimbabwean forward reportedly snubbed a move abroad in favour of a switch to Amakhosi, citing his family and Chiefs’ insistence on signing him as factors.
