The 29-year-old former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker joins the Tanzanian giants on a two-year deal after parting ways with Babina Noko following two seasons.
His signing follows hot on the heels of the capture of Nigerian former Stellenbosch midfielder Ibrahim Jabaar and that of Ivorian striker Ibrahim Doumbia, as head coach Steve Barker looks to build on an impressive first season.
Last term, the Reds of Msimbazi lifted two trophies and only missed out on the title to rivals Young Africans on the last day of the season by just two points.
Jabaar and Doumbia were both named on the bench in Simba's recent 0-0 draw against Mogadishu City in the 2026 CECAFA Kagame Cup as Makgalwa was welcomed to the club with a post on their social media accounts.
