Orlando Pirates’ Karim Kimvuidi has packed and departed the OR Tambo International Airport after another disappointing season in Soweto.
The 23-year-old midfielder has joined Israeli side SC Ashdod on loan, making him the second Orlando Pirates player to head overseas this winter after Mohau Nkota’s big move to Saudi Arabia.
The Sea Robbers announced the announcement ahead of the club’s MTN8 semifinal battle against Mamelodi Sundowns.
