Khama Billiat (born 19 August 1990 in Harare) is a Zimbabwean professional footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Premier Soccer League club Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa. He also plays for the Zimbabwe national team.
A skillful attacker, Billiat's creative style of play has led to many likening him to world stars such as Lionel Messi and Neymar. He is related to Misheck mapako makoni and Brenon Mambika, who's their role model in their soccer career's . Recently Misheck represented South Africa at the 2016 Cosafa cup tournament and is currently playing in Robertshem callies.He was cheated by the Hayatou administration during the CAF awards 2017 and he got the award for the number 2 Best African based player beaten by Dennis Onyango his clubmate at Mamelodi Sundowns .Onyango had never won a man of the match award at Sundowns while Billiat won several accolades but somehow he lost to Onyango .Maybe Issa Hayatou had a hand in that having come to know that ZIFA boss Phillip Chiyangwa was against him for CAF Presidency - Billiat is Zimbabwean and it may tell the whole story.
Khama Billiat made his professional debut for Ajax Cape Town on 20 August 2010 against Mamelodi Sundowns, winning (4–3) on penalties after a 1–1 draw, in a quarterfinal match of the 2010 MTN 8 tournament at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. He was acquired by Ajax Cape Town in the summer of 2010 as a transfer from Zimbabwean club CAPS United, only 3 months after the club had recruited him from Aces Youth Soccer Academy in Harare. Billiat was joined at Ajax CT by CAPS club mate Tafadzwa Rusike, who had also transferred to the Cape club.
On 21 July 2012, in a friendly encounter during the off season, Ajax Cape Town held the visiting Manchester United to a 1–1 draw in which Khama Billiat received high praise from Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand. Rio labelled the young attacking midfielder as an agile and exciting player to watch, with great speed and ball control.
