Orlando Pirates, one of South Africa’s most popular football clubs, has announced the acquisition of talented midfielder Karim Kimvuidi from Maritzburg United. The 21-year-old Congolese midfielder had an impressive run with Maritzburg United last season, providing four assists in 29 matches.
While there were rumors of interest from abroad, Orlando Pirates ultimately secured the sought-after midfielder’s signature by paying the hefty R15 million fee. The arrival of Kimvuidi highlights the team’s aspirations to strengthen its roster and challenge Mamelodi Sundowns for the league title.
With Kimvuidi joining the ranks, Orlando Pirates’ midfield now boasts an impressive lineup, including Patrick Maswanganyi and Fortune Makaringe. These additions are expected to elevate the team’s performance in the upcoming season.
The Buccaneers embarked on a pre-season training camp in Spain to prepare for the upcoming DStv Premiership season. They also faced La Liga side Las Palmas. The team’s preparations have been fruitful, as they remain unbeaten in their four pre-season games.
The signing of Karim Kimvuidi is a clear indication of Orlando Pirates’ intentions to compete for the league title. With a solid midfield roster and a strong pre-season performance behind them, the Orlando Pirates’ upcoming campaign is shaping up to be an exciting one. The addition of Kimvuidi could very well be the key ingredient that propels the Buccaneers back to the top of South African football.
