The Burundi international is Chiefs' top goal scorer this season with seven strikes to his name so far.
Because of his aerial prowess and strength, Chiefs' game plan this season has largely revolved around finding the lanky striker in the box to finish.
However, opposition teams have now started planning for Amakhosi's game plan and as a result, have managed to neutralize Chiefs' main goal threat.
The latest instance was against Sekhukhune United, who managed to nip a 1-0 win against Chiefs, having deployed a game plan where Daniel Cardoso, Edwin Gyimah and later Mzwanele Mahashe were all tasked with keeping Bimenyimana quiet – something that seemed to work.
The tactics deployed by Sekhukhune has raised questions over whether Chiefs have a plan B.
" I think If you look at the number of chances we created, you'll see that we had a plan B," Zwane told journalists after the match."For the fact that we managed to operate half spaces and created goal scoring opportunities when you look at the players that had shots at goal and created those chances – it was not Caleb.Sign In"It was a plus for us for the fact that we could see they are putting a lot of bodies around him, which means there's a space for other players to exploit and I think the guys did well with that."I think their keeper kept them in the game when you look at the number of chances we created, if we scored one, we would have opened the floodgates, but it wasn't to be."Read: Maritzburg United Snap Up Top SensationYou must be Sign In to read and post comments.
