Khama Billiat celebrated his Player of the Month award with another impressive performance and scored during Yadah FC's 2-0 win over Chegutu Pirates, echoing recent sentiments of praise by former coach Pitso Mosimane.
After two league defeats on the bounce, Yadah bounced back to winning form with the victory over Pirates at Baobab Stadium on Saturday.
Billiat – who was voted the Zimbabwean Premier League's Player of the Month for August – opened the scoring in the first half, before Mandla Mlilo put the opposition to the sword in the second half.

Mosimane, who coached Billiat from 2016 to 2018 at Mamelodi Sundowns, took to social media platform X [formerly Twitter] to hail the skillful attacker.
"Class is permanent," wrote the former national team coach.
"One of the best players I have ever Coached. I phoned him for a full year, every week convincing him that I would give him support and a platform to showcase his talent and that he is the one to help us win CAF Champions League.
"Scores, assists, recovers, steals lots of balls and is very strong on the ball despite his small frame. His first touch on bringing down an aerial ball was amazing.
"He really loved Kekana's long passes (his goal vs Platinum Stars away) What a player to watch in training more than games.
"I used to put Wayne Arendse on him to sharpen his skills and help him learn how to deal with big defenders. Wayne contributed a lot to his game. What a show I enjoyed in those weekly tactical sessions.
"What a pleasure to watch Percy, Keegan, T Zwane and Khama in one team at training. These guys used to score a lot of goals together. Hence they won all major CAF club trophies in one season playing together in the same team."
