Political career


In 2014, Makatong was elected to the Northern Cape Provincial Legislature as a member of the African National Congress.
She was elected as provincial treasurer at the ANC's elective conference in May 2017.
In a cabinet reshuffle in February 2018, Makatong was appointed as the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Health by premier Sylvia Lucas. She took over from Lebogang Motlhaping. She was not placed on the ANC's list for the 2019 general election and left the legislature at the dissolution of the term.
Makatong returned to the legislature on 12 June 2020. Soon after, she was appointed MEC for Roads and Public Works by the new premier, Zamani Saul. The Democratic Alliance, an opposition party, criticised her appointment.
Following the 2024 provincial election, Makatong was reappointed as the MEC for Roads and Public Works by Saul.
