‘Nkota Is Better Than Saleng’

IDiski TV analyst Junior Khanye has made a claim that young midfielder Mohau Nkota is better than winger Monnapule Saleng and has a bright future ahead of him.

Saleng has been side-lined since December 2024 owing to issues with management and his absence has opened an opportunity for the 20 year. The youngster has grabbed the opportunity with both hands becoming an integral part of the Pirates attacking department even in the CAF Champions league where he has scored four goals.

Khanye complimented Nkota’s growth and his performance in the 2nd leg semi-final clash with Pyramids FC saying he gave his coaches a lot to think about.

“This is Nkota’s first season and I have to humble myself when it comes to the boy,” said Khanye on iDiski TV.

“The thing is I was there when he was dropping [in form] but he has redeemed himself hence the compliment. The boy has something special. He is technically good, he has improved his game, he is consistent and gives the coach a head ache”.

“When you compare him to Monnapule Saleng for me the boy is better. I know that Monnapule Saleng is a better player in terms of experience and he has done well for his career. But this boy has a bright future ahead of him. Well done to Mofokeng and this boy.”
