Makhuduthamaga is a municipality in Sekhukhune District Municipality, Limpopo Province, South Africa.

The name is derived from the liberatory name given to those who supported the anti-apartheid struggle in Sekhukhuneland in the 1950s. Makhuduthamaga raged a war against the white commissioner and his assailants, Marentsara.^{[clarification needed]}
