As reported on Wednesday, Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp confirmed that Amakhosi would not part with Billiat, saying there was no offer on the table for the Zimbabwean attacker.
“I was never confronted with any offer… there is no way to give the go-ahead from the technical team to release players like Khama Billiat and other players. We are in front of a season and we have put a lot of thinking, a lot of strategy and there is no way to move into a direction to say Khama can go because the money is coming in. No, at the moment that is very clear,” commented Middendorp.
