A decade after departing Naturena, former Kaizer Chiefs hero Knowledge Musona is set to face his old club for the first time as Amakhosi host Zimbabwean champions Scotland FC in the annual Toyota Cup on Sunday, 26 July 2026 at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace (15:00 SAST).
Adding further spice to the blockbuster fixture, Musona will line up alongside fellow former Chiefs star Khama Billiat, setting up an emotional reunion for two of the most celebrated Zimbabwean attackers in Premier Soccer League history.
The Return of the “Smiling Assassin”
Musona, affectionately nicknamed the “Smiling Assassin” by the Amakhosi faithful, remains one of the most revered figures in modern Kaizer Chiefs history across his two iconic stints at the club:
- First Stint (2009–2011): Arrived as a gifted teenager before exploding onto the PSL scene, scoring 19 goals in 49 appearances, winning three trophies, and clinching the Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot (15 league goals) before earning a high-profile move to Hoffenheim in Germany.
- Second Stint (2013–2014): Returned on loan under Stuart Baxter, delivering 9 goals in 19 appearances before moving on to enjoy a prolific spell in Belgium with KV Oostende (35 goals).
Billiat’s Unfinished Business & Nostalgic Closure
While Musona’s return serves as a celebration of his lasting legacy, the match also carries deep significance for Khama Billiat. Having departed Naturena under quiet circumstances after five seasons, Sunday’s match gives Billiat an opportunity to face the Amakhosi faithful and gain a sense of closure on his South African career.
With Chiefs set to debut both their brand-new Home and Away kits during the match, Sunday’s clash in Rustenburg promises high-grade pre-season action mixed with deep nostalgia.
