Despite being the club’s top scorer with eight goals in 21 games last season, Chiefs felt he didn’t fit their game plan and would be willing to sell him in order to free up a foreign quota spot.

Upon Bimenyimana's exit from Naturena, Amakhosi released a statement wishing the 25-year old well in his future endeavours.

He will be free to join a team of his choice and we wish him well in his future, he entered the history books of Amakhosi when he scored a hattrick of penalties in a 3-1 win over Stellenbosch in a league game on the 9th of October 2022, becoming the first Chiefs player in the PSL era to score three goals from the penalty spot in a league game, he is now free to join a team of his choice and we wish him well in his future," the statement read.

There were loan enquiries in the DStv Premiership, Ukraine and a concrete offer arriving from the Ekstraklasa in Poland – with Europe being his preferred next move but nothing materialised.
