Makhoye has been at the club for 15 years, leading them from lower ranks to the Motsepe Foundation Championship in 2023. After only two years in the SA second tier, he guided them to the Premiership by winning the playoffs.
Makhoye also revealed that he became the IT manager in 2012 and has held this position since then. “I’m an IT manager by profession at Orbit TVET College. I was appointed in 2007 as an IT technician for three years,” he said.
“In 2012, I became a manager, but when I was appointed as a technician, I started coaching a campus team at the college. But football has been there for me, I’ve been a big fan of football. I come from a football family. My father was a player and a coach, so maybe I will follow in his footsteps.”
Makhoye, who is also a lecturer at the college, has welcomed the support of the North West provincial government and said it had been invaluable to them over the last two years in the NFD.
The government will fund the club, who will start their Premiership campaign against AmaZulu at Moses Mabhida Stadium on August 9.
