Former Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane has expressed that he wished he could've kept Khama Billiat after he signed for Kaizer Chiefs in 2018. Mosimane says that he even wanted to re-sign the player but couldn't do so because of his contractual obligations.
"When I was still at Sundowns, yes I wanted Khama, but you can’t have a player who belongs to another team and is contracted to another team," said Mosimane, according to iDiskiTimes.
Mosimane said that he really wanted Billiat back at Masandawana but realised that Billiat had moved on and was happy with Kaizer Chiefs, so he had to respect that.

However, he denied that he's had his eyes on Gaston Sirino and Thembinkosi Lorch. He also rubbished claims that he's looking to sign a player from Mamelodi Sundowns.
Mosimane has made it a point to make sure that South Africans get a chance to shine in Africa and wants to give players a chance to play football for his club.
