Makoma Grace Makhurupetje is a South African politician who has been the Speaker of the Limpopo Provincial Legislature since 2024.
[3] In October 2017, Mathabatha announced a reshuffle in which Makhurupetje was moved to the less influential Transport and Community Safety portfolio.
The provincial ANC Youth League and other critics of Mathabatha linked Makhurupetje's demotion to her support for Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma ahead of the ANC's 54th National Conference; while Makhurupetje and Nocks Seabi were viewed as key supporters of Dlamini-Zuma's campaign to become ANC President, Mathabatha supported the opposing candidate, Cyril Ramaphosa.
In the election, she was re-elected to her legislative seat, ranked 20th on the ANC's list,[2] but Mathabatha dropped her from his second-term Executive Council.
[10] In 2022, she was re-elected to the ANC Provincial Executive Committee; by popularity, she was ranked second of the 30 candidates elected, with only Phophi Ramathuba receiving more votes than her.
