Early life
Makusha was born in 1997 and her first interest was soccer. However her skills and height attracted the attention of netball coach Simbarashe Mlambo. Makusha won her parents support for her new interest when she won a scholarship to Pamushana Mission school in Masvingo where she repeated two years of schooling and developed her netball skills.
