Billiat heads back to Sundowns after Zim exit

Khama Billiat is determined to learn from the lessons after his Zimbabwean team crashed out of the African Cup of Nations in Gabon.

Zimbabwe suffered two defeats against Senegal and Tunisia.

The Mamelodi Sundowns player said that mistakes were to blame for the team’s downfall, but said team-mates were going home with more knowledge on how to play in such a big tournament as AFCON.

“It was a tough tournament and once again lack of concentration cost us the game. We had talked about this as a team after our two games but we repeated the same mistakes against Tunisia.”

“We could have done better in the first 15 minutes which are very crucial but we have been conceding goals, thus finding ourselves in a very difficult position and we found ourselves in the same problems against Tunisia,” Billiat said

“We are however taking positive lessons and we will go back to our clubs and be honest to ourselves and next time maybe we will play much better,” he added.

On the interest from many clubs after his great performance in the tournament, Billiat was forthright.

“I will go back to Sundowns since I am still contracted and committed to them, then we can talk about my future.”
