Striker Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana has explained his two strange celebrations he made after each goal when he scored a brace in Kaizer Chiefs’ 2-1 DStv Premiership win against SuperSport United at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Bimenyimana’s second celebration after scoring a 54th-minute penalty, in particular, drew reaction on social media as he made a skull and crossbones signal, the sign of Chiefs’ bitter rivals Orlando Pirates.
“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.”
Bimenyimana, signed last month after a few weeks’ deliberation by Chiefs, opened his scoring account making his first start against SuperSport after two substitute appearances.
