Yadah Stars unveiled former Warriors forward <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Khama_Billiat">Khama Billiat</a> at the club’s Heart Stadium in Waterfalls, Harare on Thursday, 29 February.
<a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/billiat-unveiled-in-glitzy-ceremony/">The Herald</a> reported that about 2 000 fans turned up at the 5 000-seater facility to welcome the CAF Champions League winner.
The 33-year-old Billiat, who might have ended up at Dynamos or Manica Diamonds, was full of praise for Yadah Stars.
The club also gave him a Land Rover Defender as part of his package. Said Billiat:
<blockquote>
This is great, I have been homesick for some time, and being here means so much love. I appreciate it. I am going to enjoy it. Thank you for showing so much love.
Yadah is a special team. I am happy to be here. This is the only place I have been coming to in Zimbabwe over the years, it’s like home to me. They have sacrificed a lot for me to be here and I appreciate it.
This is amazing. I am hoping to enjoy it, I love my country so much. So I am ready to give out my best.
</blockquote>
Yadah owner <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Walter_Magaya">Walter Magaya</a> said Billiat will add value to the local Premiership and hopefully bring back football fans to stadiums. He said:
<blockquote>
We believe that Billiat has shown some good leadership by retracing his footsteps back home.
We aim to bring excitement back to the Premiership. It’s a joy for us because if Billiat performs well that means fans will be back to the stadiums.
People had shunned coming to the stadiums but they will now come because I know Billiat still has it in him and he will mesmerise fans.
</blockquote>
Yadah Stars has also signed Melvin Mukiwa from ZPC Kariba, Marlon Mushonga (on loan from Ngezi Platinum), Emmanuel Chitauro (Chapungu), Munashe Chingwerewe (Golden Eagles), Ryan Ncube (Moasi Rovers) and Ariel Makopa (Ngezi Platinum).
