We’re proud to shine the spotlight on Dumisani Chauke, Head of Sport and Recreation at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), for her remarkable journey of leadership and empowerment. Dumisani was among the distinguished participants who successfully completed the Women Leaders Programme offered by the Tshwane School of Business and Society at TUT — an executive development initiative designed to cultivate confident, impactful women leaders who drive meaningful change in their organisations and communities.
The Women Leaders Programme focuses on enhancing self-awareness, leadership identity, communication skills and inclusive leadership — equipping women with the tools to influence decision-making and lead with purpose. This transformative experience aligns with TUT’s ongoing commitment to fostering leadership development across all sectors of the university.
Dumisani Chauke’s participation in this programme reflects her dedication not only to sport excellence but also to leadership growth. Her influence extends far beyond the field — evidenced by her recent national recognition, including being featured on the cover of Financial Mail as part of Momentum’s “She Owns Her Success” campaign, celebrating women who carve their own paths to achievement.
Throughout her career Dumisani has consistently championed empowerment and development. From her tenure as a SPAR Proteas assistant coach to her role as Head of Sport at TUT, she has led with conviction, inspiring athletes, coaches and students alike. Her leadership ethos emphasises integrity, passion and community upliftment — qualities that were further enriched through her engagement with the Women Leaders Programme.
Her achievement is not just a personal milestone but a testament to the power of investing in women’s leadership, and the ripple effect it creates across institutions and society. We congratulate Dumisani for this meaningful accomplishment and for embodying the spirit of bold, purpose‑driven leadership.
