The teenager was promoted to the Pirates' first team from the development side this campaign, and he has proved that he deserves a place on the senior side.
"He reminds me of the Brazil international Raphinha (who plays for Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga)," the former Glamour Boys winger said while on iDiskiTV.
"Nkota got a bright future ahead of him. Like we spoke about him from the glimpses he showed on Tuesday."
Khanye also explained the advantage of playing with two wingers in the Premier Soccer League while claiming Nkota and Relebohile Mofokeng create so many chances.
"The importance of playing with two wingers in South Africa, especially at Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, is because Pirates and Chiefs are not playing like [Mamelodi] Sundowns. Having two dangerous wingers cutting in, always taking somebody on and playing one, twos," he added.
"They are so technically good with good decision-making. These two Relebohile Mofokeng and this boy, they create so many chances."
Riveiro impressed with Nkota's performance
Briefly News earlier reported that Nkota impressed Jose Riveiro during his first PSL start against SuperSport United.
The 19-year-old played 65 minutes in the victory over SuperSport, but it was enough time to make an impression on fans and Riveiro.
