According to Bulawayo 24, an unnamed Mzansi sheriff officer reported that the former Kaizer Chiefs star had not paid his bond.
The officer said:
“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 the R1.7 million loan.”
Local football fans praised Billiat on social media, but some are concerned that he is following in the footsteps of former Bafana player Lerato Chabangu, who is struggling financially.
Phuti Dibete feels for Billiat:
“A year without a salary can be taxing to anyone. Hope he recovers.”
Collyn Mbiba KaDlamini says there is a lesson to be learned:
“l so wish the upcoming youngsters can learn from this boy’s predicament.”
Tumelo Du Toit defends Billiat:
“Maybe he just left it because he no longer needs to return to Mzansi. Let us not judge him, please.”
Matladi Frans questions Billiat’s financial mentality:
“This man was earning a lot of money while playing for Kaizer Chiefs, and he should have already paid up that property a long time ago.”
King Wakwa Nkomo admired Billiat:
“He was a deadly striker.”
