Bandise Maku (born 24 July 1986 in King WIlliams Town, South Africa) is a professional South African rugby union rugby player. His first tour of duty for his country was with the Springboks to France, Italy, Ireland & England in late 2009. He earned his first cap for his country playing against Italy.
In 2010, Maku was again called up for duty with the Springboks in a November tour of Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England. His call came two matches into the tour on the 18 November 2010, after a controversial incident in which two other Springbok players tested positive for a banned substance.
Maku used to play his club rugby for the Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup and Super 14 competitions. In the later half of 2010 he moved from the Blue Bulls to the Golden Lions, based in Johannesburg.
On October 2011 he won the Currie Cup with the Golden Lions against the Sharks (42-16).
