Katsande said that he did what he could to instil confidence in the PSL’s highest-paid player while they were Glamour Boys.

Fellow Zimbabwean Katsande feels that Billiat brings value to the team beyond goals and assists, but frustration is growing among supporters of the club.

“I know Khama is a big boy, he’s my little brother and I always spend time with him, always telling him how important he is to the club and the setup,” Katsande said.

“I always tell him, ‘You are our spearhead. You are our best player. So you need to know that you are the best. We came from five months without playing football, so obviously, there was a little bit of rust, but what you can do is contribute towards the team.’

“So, at the moment, yes, he’s not getting there where we know him, but look at his contribution to the club and the team, he’s very, very useful and that’s why he’s always selected to play.

“Goals will come, we just need to be patient with him and give him confidence, which is what he needs at the moment, and we will try to put him in a comfortable position whereby all he thinks about is just playing well and helping the team.

“The most important thing, as much as you are a good player, you need to be a team player. So, basically, this guy is a big player but he’s a team player.”
