Orlando Pirates legend Steve "Chippa" Lekoelea says Khama Billiat should swallow his pride and return to Kaizer Chiefs.
Lekoelea opines that it would be a big mistake if the Zimbabwean leaves such a big club in the twilight of his career.
Billiat, who is currently a free agent after his contract with Chiefs expired at the end of June has ended communication with the Soweto giants.

"It shows he no longer wants to play for Kaizer Chiefs, it's clear he wants to go to another team," Lekoelea tells KickOff.
"If you look carefully at Chiefs, he is not playing well compared to the way he did at Mamelodi Sundowns.
"Chiefs tried their best to make the relationship great, but it couldn't work.
"He no longer wants to play for Chiefs, it's the same thing with Thembinkosi Lorch at Pirates.
"Billiat should sit down with the Kaizer Chiefs management and tell them exactly what he wants, and not just vanish.
"He must tell them that whatever they've offered puts him in a tight corner. He must tell them he is looking out for his future.
"This thing of just disappearing is very wrong, you can't keep a team that has stuck with you for years waiting, knowing exactly what you are planning to sign with another team.
"Because, to be honest, his performance has dropped. He will regret leaving Kaizer Chiefs.
"Chiefs are a big company they are not a small team. Leaving Chiefs will cost him a lot of things."
