It Had Nothing to Do with Pirates – Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana Explains Celebration!

It Had Nothing to Do with Pirates – Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana Explains Celebration! The Burundian striker confused his own fans this weekend.

Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana scored his first two goals for Kaizer Chiefs this weekend against SuperSport United. He then followed these goals with two eye-catching celebrations.

When the striker scored his second goal, from the penalty spot, he followed it with a trademark Orlando Pirates gesture. This confused fans, as it suggested he’s a Buccaneer.

He has since cleared the confusion and sought to explain the celebrations.

“It had nothing to do with Pirates,” the lanky striker confessed.

“I wasn’t even thinking that it’s the same. As I said, it was for me and my brother, what we always do, but now that I know what it means, I won’t do it in this country.

“So, everyone was confused about that on social media, but I repeat, I did it for my friends and my brother. I was happy.

“In Burundi we have that sign, of a cross, which is part of our tradition. Since we were under-17, we’ve been doing that celebration and we have grown together to senior level in the national team.

“In Burundi it means ‘we are together,’ like ‘I’ve got your back and you’ve got my back,’ so that is why we want to keep it. It even appears on the Burundian flag.” He stated.

The striker is also aiming to score many more goals for his club team.

“I am here to work hard and stay disciplined,” he concluded.
