Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Magpie Shrike at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Madikwe Game Reserve. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.
The Magpie Shrike is most recorded in Mpumalanga (51% of records), Limpopo (33% of records), Gauteng (7% of records), based on 1 527 iNaturalist observations. 14 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Magpie Shrike on site or nearby.
The Magpie Shrike is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
