Caleb has fallen down the pecking order
Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana started his debut season strongly but fell away at the back-end of 2022-23. With just one goal since the turn of the year, against Casric in the Nedbank Cup round of 16, 2023 hasn’t been a good calendar year for him in a club jersey. He has, however, retained his place in the Burundi side and scored and assisted for them against Namibia in a recent AFCON qualifier.

Chiefs have recruited Pule Mmodi and Ranga Chivaviro to vie for places in attack alongside Ashley du Preez, Christian Saile and Mduduzi Shabalala. Bimenyimana would struggle for minutes in the first-team should he stick around. His fondest memory in a Chiefs jersey is likely the moment he scored a hat-trick of penalties against Stellenbosch, becoming the first ever PSL player to hit three successful spot-kicks in one match.
