Opinion: Sorry Caleb, we expected better.

Eight goals in 21 games is not at all a bad return for a striker in the DStv Premiership. 

In fact, Caleb Bimenyimana should be looking forward to banging in more goals for Kaizer Chiefs in the 2023/24 season. 

Unfortunately, it seems like Bimenyimana is on his way out of Amakhosi, not that I am surprised, Caleb is just not by any means Chiefs material. 

His case is made worse by the fact that half, if not more than half of the eight goals he scored for Amakhosi were penalties. 

Obviously, Chiefs were looking for much more than a penalty specialist when they signed Caleb, they were looking for someone who could score goals in open play, something he didn't seem to be good enough in. 

If Caleb was actually good with the ball at his feet, if he could interact well with his teammates in possession and create goal scoring opportunities if he could not score himself, it would have been easier to plead his case. 

But Caleb can't even play, too awkward he looks with the ball at his feet eKasi we would call him inkomo. 

He makes you wonder how the hell did he make it to Naturena in the first place. 

The fact that there are teams actually interested in him, Wydad for that matter, is amazing, his ancestors are definitely rooting for him. 

The only thing I for one will miss about Caleb is his "Black Panther" celebration after converting yet another penalty. Nothing else. 

Oh! and maybe the way his face lit up when Amakhosi were awarded a penalty.
