The now-viral video has gained thousands of comments and reactions since it went viral. Gilberto showed off some of his sleek dance moves as the rest of the squad cheered him.

The coaching staff and the rest of the squad were all smiles as Gilberto nailed his dance moves. Gilberto has since been nicknamed Majaivane thanks to his Angolan fused dance moves. It was undoubtedly a warm welcome, and Mzansi has since given it a nod.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter Unplayable, captioned the video, “𝗣𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗚𝗜𝗟𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗢.” Against the now-viral clip, fans quickly flooded social media with their two cents.

Some were more than convinced that the star was a groovist, while others were more than convinced they would witness some of the craziest dancing celebrations this coming season.

JOINING THE SOWETO GIANTS

The 23-year-old star joined Orlando Pirates in June from Angolan outfit Petro Luanda. Reports have it that he has been on the club’s wish list for seasons. Despite being contracted to Petro Luanda until 2025, Orlando Pirates went to great lengths to secure his signature after the club listened to several offers.

On 26 June, FarPost confirmed the signing of Gilberto. Gilberto joined Orlando Pirates on a three-year contract.

CAREER

The 23-year-old star was born on 10 March 2001. Gilberto is affectionately known as Gibelé. Despite his newfound fame, little is known about his youth academy career. However, he started his senior career with Real Sambila in 2019.

After a season with the club, he went on to join Libolo. Gilberto managed three goals in 20 appearances. However, his command of the game and flair saw him join Petro de Luanda in 2022.

His stint with Petro de Luanda was as colourful as many thought it would be. The winger managed to net 16 goals from 30 appearances. His two-year season stint also saw him make his CAF Champions League appearance.

Last season, the star, who operates predominantly on the right wing, registered two assists from nine appearances in the CAF Champions League.
