Khama Billiat finally trains with the Warriors

Mamelodi Sundowns and Warriors midfielder, Khama Billiat has finally joined training camp. Billiat has been criticised both on social media and in the mainstream media after pictures of him clubbing were circulated last week.

ZIFA communications manager Xolisani Gwesela yesterday told The Herald:

Khama is also in. He was rested for the first week. As you know he had participated in many games in the last year which included the ABSA Premiership, the CAF Champions League and most recently the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan. He needed the rest. As far as we know Khama has joined camp today (yesterday) and we are happy with that. And as I have said before, he had been rested to recover from the effects of that hectic season. And whatever he may have done during that period, remember he is an adult who has got his own private life. As an association we don’t have jurisdiction over the players’ personal lives especially when they are outside national team camp. But if we had received a report from the technical team complaining that one of the players had acted in an inappropriate manner during camp, then that was going to be a different issue.

Meanwhile, Warriors coach Callisto Pasuwa is expected to name his final African Cup of Nations 23-men squad by end of day tomorrow. Knowledge Musona is expected in today.
