Fezile Makhanya is a South African actor and television presenter best known as an SABC1 continuity presenter, from 2006-2008.

Fezile is known to friends as Fezile, Gcwabaza. As a young boy he fell in love with sports, in particular rugby and athletics. As a result he received a scholarship at one of Durban's most prestigious schools, Glenwood High School.

Holding athletics and rugby records for over a decade, he moved to Johannesburg for better exposure. Coming from an entrepreneurial family, his parents encouraged him to look beyond sports and study a business degree, while working on a part time basis.

His contract was terminated in 2008, after SABC1 decided to discontinue the use of continuity announcers.

Fezile is a Bachelor of Commerce graduate at UNISA, specializing in Financial Risk Management, and has also completed his registered persons exam in Equities. He also has a passion for financial markets.

Beginning on 10 June 2008, he co-hosted (with Lebo Motsoeli and Eugene Khoza) the SABC1 magazine show Countdown 2010, which aimed to keep South Africans informed and involved in the preparation for the largest sports event ever held on the African continent - the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
