It is common for Kibu Denis 'Mkandaji' in the Simba team to be used as an attacking midfielder who appears on the right or left side
Since the arrival of Coach Abdelhak Benchikha, several times Kibu has been used as a leading striker especially in strategic matches
Kibu may be used again in that position in the Champions League game against Asec Mimosas, Friday in Ivory Coast
His ability to run a wide area tirelessly has convinced Benchikha to use him as a 'shadow attacker' to disrupt the defenders of the opposing team when they start attacking from behind
Kibu has not been very effective in scoring goals this season but he has contributed significantly to Simba's goals either by providing assists or causing penalties
Saido Ntibazonkiza has benefited from the penalty kicks that Kibu has caused in some major league matches
But also Benchikha's decision to use Kibu as a striker is probably also contributed to the changes in the area where the new strikers Pa Omar Jobe and Fredy Michael are still not 'on fire' properly
In the major league game against JKT Tanzania, Benchikha started with Kibu in the attacking area and later left after injury and his place was replaced by Fredy who is still looking for himself
