According to iDiskiTimes, in an interview on 'Sports Night Amplified With Andile Ncube', Khumalo labelled Pirates star Patrick Maswanganyi one of the best players the country has produced.

The Glamour Boys legend hailed Kaizer Chiefs city rivals for giving Maswanganyi the opportunity to showcase his footballing talent.

"He [Patrick Maswanganyi] is one of the greatest players that South Africa have ever produced [in history], and we thank Orlando Pirates for giving him the opportunity because I think that is where his game started to unveil and change," he said.

"I've seen an unbelievable left-footed player that has a big heart. A player that can carry the team – only if also we allow him to be himself."

Maswanganyi had a fantastic season with the Buccaneers and was one of their best players in the league and cup competitions.
