HARARE – Creditors are circling over Khama Billiat’s house in Midrand, South Africa, after the former Kaizer Chiefs star failed to keep up with his home loan payments.
Billiat, now playing for Yadah FC in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League, has failed to keep up with his monthly instalments, according to the sheriff of the Pretoria High Court quoted by City Press.
An entity known as Emerging Markets Home Loans has applied to the High Court for an eviction order against five occupants who have stayed in the house since Billiat’s departure to join Yadah in March.
The financial institution filed a notice of motion on 5 May citing that the occupants were unlawfully living at the house which is set to be auctioned in June.
“The information is that the player has not been paying monthly instalments for the house, prompting the finance service provider to put the house on auction in an attempt to recoup R1.7 million loan,” said the sheriff.
Billiat, 33, spent a year out of action in 2023 after refusing to renew his contract with Kaizer Chiefs. He was finally snapped up by Yadah which is owned by the millionaire prophet Walter Magaya, for whom he has scored three league goals in the current campaign.
