JOHANNESBURG — Ajax Cape Town have announced that Khama Billiat’s proposed deal to Mamelodi Sundowns is off.

The two clubs agreed terms for the transfer of the Zimbabwean attacker last week, but the Urban Warriors have now decided to pull the plug. “Eight days ago Ajax Cape Town and Mamelodi Sundowns agreed on terms for the transfer of Billiat to the Pretoria-based outfit, subject to the player agreeing on personal terms with the club,” Ajax director Ari Efstathiou is quoted on the club’s Facebook page.

“We agreed to extend the time limit for the transfer to take place, however, no agreement was reached at the set deadline. The deal is now considered cancelled.” That will be music to Orlando Pirates’ fans ears, with the Buccaneers seemingly the player’s preferred destination in any case.
