Nkota is proving to be a rare Bucs gem

I know I'll probably be accused of over-hyping yet another youngster that is showing huge potential, but Orlando Pirates' rising star Mohau Nkota is the real deal.

He has unique qualities that make him such a rare breed, especially in South African football, where most youngsters want to climb on top of the ball and showboat.

There's something extra special about Nkota; he's effective and can change the trajectory of the game with just one shot. Forget doing nice tricks and getting the crowd excited; the 20-year-old is a match-winner.

As much as I don't like making comparisons, but Nkota reminds me of the late Gift Leremi, who could also shoot from anywhere on the field of play. Players like these don't come often in the PSL.

The left-footed attacker plays with no fear, and I don't even think we've seen half of what he's capable of.
