Playing career

Makhabane was included into the national team in 2005. After helping South Africa qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics, Makhabane was unable to participate in the tournament due to a groin injury sustained in September 2011.[3][4] In September 2014, she was named to the senior team roster in preparation for the 2014 African Women's Championship in Namibia.[5][6][7][8]

She made her 100th appearance for South Africa in August 2019.[9]
