Betway Premiership newcomers Orbit College FC will make their debut this weekend.
Makhoye and his North West team beat Cape Town City and Casric Stars in the promotion/relegation playoffs to book their place.
With only two weeks to prepare, he says the pre-season has been tough - but they remain determined.
The team is mostly unchanged, with the addition of six new players.
This includes Thuso Moleleki, Yanga Mabele and Monnapule Saleng, who are all on loan from Orlando Pirates.
Orbit College will face AmaZulu in their first game of the season on Saturday, 9 August 2025.
“We have tried to make sure we do everything. We’ve had two friendlies… but so far so good, we are ready for Saturday.”
– Pogiso Makhoye, Head Coach – Orbit College FC
