After several years in Daring Club Motema Pembe, he went to South African club Maritzburg United in 2022.[1][2] Kimvuidi was an outstanding player for Maritzburg United, but the club was relegated from the 2022-23 South African Premier Division. As such, the club had several offers for their best players,[3] and Kimvuidi transferred to Orlando Pirates in July 2023.[4] He made his Bucs debut in September 2023 against Mamelodi Sundowns.[5] He played regularly, but did not establish himself as a starter yet.[6][7][8]
