Outspoken South African coach Mlungisi ‘Professor’ Ngubane has suggested that Warriors winger Khama Billiat’s poor form at Kaizer Chiefs might be as a result of age cheating. Ngubane argued that if Billiat was really 29 years of age (he turned 30 on August 19)), he wouldn’t be playing as poorly as he is doing. Said Ngubane: Billiat is playing like a player who came here having reduced h

Kaizer Chiefs winger Khama Billiat under attack again. “S-Curl” is not impressed with what the former Mamelodi Sundowns man has contributed for Amakhosi this season, especially in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Bidvest Wits, where the Zimbabwean looked flat. Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Jabulani Mendu has challenged the club’s star Khama Billiat to pull up his socks and give the club value for t

Zimbabwean business entrepreneur Pokello yesterday stormed the warriors’ camp at Pandari lodge where the national team is resident awaiting for their first match of the Africa Cup Of Nations Qualifier (AFCON) against Botswana tonight at National Sports Stadium (NSS).

THE Zimbabwe women’s soccer team, the Mighty Warriors, today failed to picth up at the National Sports Stadium in Harare where they were scheduled to play against Zambia in an Olympic qualifier.
