“It feels great. I’ve always wanted to play with him, and for the first time, we did in the national team. It was a good feeling because I have always wanted him to be a great player, to play better than I did, to achieve good things in his career.

“So I now get to have an opportunity to also push him and help him to do good things and grow his career. I’m looking forward, and I hope that it’s going to be a good experience for him.

Which other former PSL players are at Scotland FC?
Musona will also join forces with another former Kaizer Chiefs star, Khama Billiat, and ex-Orlando Pirates player Terrence Dzvukamanja at Scotland FC, which is owned by Scott Sakupwanya.

Unconfirmed reports, according to Soccer Laduma sources, suggest that Musona hoped to return to the South African football scene. Unfortunately, he did not receive any offers from top-flight clubs.
A source close to the situation revealed:
“He had been offered to some top-flight clubs in South Africa, but the response was lukewarm. There were questions about whether he could still match the tempo of the PSL, given the demands of the league. At this point in his career, those considerations naturally come into play.”
Inside Khama Billiat's mansion
Briefly News previously reported that former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns star Khama Billiat gave fans a rare glimpse into his luxurious double-storey mansion located in the affluent Arlington Estate near Harare, Zimbabwe.
Estimated to be worth up to R7.5 million, the property features modern open-plan living, elegant chandelier lighting, a private football pitch, and a swimming pool.
