Makazole Mapimpi (born 26 July 1990 in Mdantsane, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player who currently plays as a winger or a centre with the Kings in Super Rugby and the Free State Cheetahs in the domestic Currie Cup.
In 2009, Mapimpi was a member of the Border U19 team that played in the 2009 Under-19 Provincial Championship.
He was one of several amateur club players brought into the Border Bulldogs provincial set-up at the start of 2014 after the professional side was declared bankrupt. He was included in their squad for the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition and made his debut in their opening match against a Sharks XV. Border lost the match 24–46, but Mapimpi marked his first class debut with a try shortly after half-time. He also started in their 6–60 loss to Eastern Cape rivals Eastern Province Kings and their next match against Kenyan invitational side Simba XV, scoring the Border Bulldogs' second try in that match to help them to an 18–17 win, their only victory of the competition. He also started the remaining four matches in the competition, scoring his third try of the campaign in their match against the SWD Eagles, as the Border Bulldogs finished bottom of the log.
He was retained for their 2014 Currie Cup qualification campaign and he made his debut in the Currie Cup competition by starting their opening-day 5–52 defeat to Griquas. He missed their next match against the Boland Cavaliers, before starting their other four matches in the competition. However, the Border Bulldogs lost all six of their matches to finish bottom of the log and qualified to the 2014 Currie Cup First Division. Mapimpi once again started all five of their matches, including their first match against the Falcons, which turned out to be the Border Bulldogs' only victory of the season as they ran out 19–14 winners. He scored tries in consecutive matches against the SWD Eagles and a Leopards side that eventually finished top of the log but could not prevent the Bulldogs from finished bottom of the log with a single win all season.
