Khama Billiat's decision to return to the Zimbabwe national football team has been met with overwhelming support from fans both domestically and internationally. The former Warriors star announced his return on social media, stating, "I have reconsidered my decision to retire and would love to represent my country one more time."

Billiat's announcement has brought immense joy to fans who have missed his presence in the national team. Tatenda Zulu, a Zimbabwean fan, expressed his gratitude for Billiat's decision, stating, "Thank you, Khama, you are our own. The government and ZIFA's shortcomings shouldn't be rested upon your shoulders. How can people defend Messi and CR7 for Portugal yet they fight you? You are still helpful to us, your talent and experience can still help us in a way. Your presence doesn't affect youth development from grassroots and from the local league. Bring it on, Gaucho."

Even fans from neighboring countries have shown their support for Billiat's decision. Kabelo Tshezi, a fan from South Africa, tweeted, "Khama, the time you retired was the time you were getting paid a lot at Chiefs. We understand now you're earning little money. At times, I blame these so-called agents who mislead you guys. But anyway, good for Zim football. You are a quality player indeed and needed. All the best."

Billiat's return has also resonated with fans who have missed his impact on the national team. Vimbai Jiti Dzvete expressed her excitement, stating, "It has been my will, Khama. Thank you for considering my call. We lacked your impact and great performance since that AFCON when you retired. I'm convinced that you are in good shape and can deliver wonders. Messi did the same to come out of retirement today. We cherish him. Keep motivated, don't be ever discouraged. You have done amazing for our national team. I personally appreciate you, my Legend Billiat."

Tapera Mupukuta, based in South Africa, also shared his enthusiasm, saying, "I personally am your fan in SA and am still your fan as you are now playing at home. This is what I was waiting to hear from you, warrior. I know and believe you can do it. Salute, Khama."
