Speaking to iDiski TImes, Khanye, who recently landed a TV job on Mzansi Wethu, said the 26-year-old Maswanganyi has impressed him.

Khanye said:

"He scored two, and whenever Pirates looked dangerous, he was there, and he doesn’t even have speed. This guy is not speedy, but he is always dangerous when he gets the ball. He can change the game's direction, and his decision-making is something else.”
