Kaizer Chiefs and Zimbabwe need to talk about Billiat - Jambo

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Jimmy Jambo says better communication between Kaizer Chiefs and Zimbabwe should have been applied to manage an unfit Khama Billiat reporting for international duty.

Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp twice registered his displeasure when Billiat returned injured from the Zimbabwe national team camp in September and November respectively.
