The 26-year-old star won his maiden cap for the national team while Notsi was temporarily in charge of Likuena in 2019, featuring in the back-to-back victories over South Africa in the CHAN qualifiers.
Makha on the other hand has been outstanding for Lioli this season and has already registered six goals in the league, including a hat-trick against rookies, Manonyane of Roma.
Sources close to the developments have stated that Sekhukhune United, who recently unveiled former Likuena head coach Thabo Senong as their assistant coach, are keen in the services of the talented Lioli midfielder.
