Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs forward Khama Billiat was officially unveiled by Yadah Football Club in front of thousands of supporters at The Heart Stadium on Thursday.
Billiat returned home 14 years after leaving CAPS United to join Ajax Cape Town in July 2010.
The 33-year-old was confirmed to have joined Miracle Boys on a one-year contract with an option for a further year.
Thousands of Yadah supporters, including his mother and sister, flogged to The Heart Stadium to officially welcome the 2016 CAF Champions League winner.
The former Ajax Cape Town forward stated that he has been home sick and thanked Yadah for showing him so much love.
“I have been home sick for some time and being here means so much love. I really appreciate it and I’m going to enjoy it. Thank you for showing me so much love,” Billiat told Soccer24.
“I thank God that I still had the chance to play in Zimbabwe and I’m looking forward to just enjoying every minute of it.
“I don’t think I have ever felt like this before. The love that I’m getting, is simply amazing, overwhelming and it’s a great feeling. I can’t wait for the games to begin.
“Yadah is a special team. I am happy to be here. This is the only place I have been coming to in Zimbabwe over the years, it’s like home to me. They have sacrificed a lot for me to be here and I appreciate it.
“They [Yadah] sacrificed a lot for me, love starts by sacrifice. Their love was amazing and I couldn’t think of going anywhere else.
“This is amazing. I am hoping to enjoy it, I love my country so much. So, I am ready to give out my best.”
