Leadership • Empowerment • Growth
Message from the Chairperson
Women are leaders, builders, and change-makers. Across sport and business, women are breaking records and transforming dreams into lasting livelihoods.
The Women in Sport & Women Entrepreneurs Trust exists to open doors and ensure no woman stands alone at the top. Never shrink yourself to fit a room—your voice and your leadership are needed.
When women build, economies grow.
When women lead, possibilities expand.
Let us continue championing one another and leaving every space better than we found it.
Celebrating Women’s Month
Muditambi “Ntambi”
Ravele
When women lead in sport, they create pathways for generations to follow.
This #WomensMonth, we celebrate Muditambi “Ntambi” Ravele, a pioneering force in advancing women’s participation, leadership and visibility in South African sport.
In 1996, she initiated the formation of Women and Sport South Africa (WASSA) and, in 2008, founded the South African Women and Sport Foundation (SAWASF). She is also a founder member of the Africa Women Sport Network (AWSN).
Ntambi has broken barriers across sports leadership, serving as President of Netball South Africa and as Chairperson of Wheelchair Tennis South Africa and Netball South Africa.
She also made history as the first and only woman to chair the Boxing South Africa Board, breaking new ground in a historically male-dominated sport.
As President of Netball South Africa, she was tasked with transforming the organisation, successfully securing sponsorships, advancing inclusivity, increasing television coverage and elevating the sport’s profile within just two years.
Today, she continues to champion opportunities for women and girls in sport while serving on boards including Laureus Sport for Good South Africa, Gauteng Tourism Authority and Tennis South Africa.
Her leadership continues to widen the field of possibility for the women and girls who follow.

✨ Eight Years of Empowering Women Entrepreneurs ✨
The Women Entrepreneurs Trust celebrated eight years of resilience and achievement, gathering beneficiaries since 2017 to reflect on navigating a challenging economy. The event was filled with energy, inspiration, and practical insights, starting with mindful focus exercises led by Ntokozo Khumalo and Natalie De Gouveia-Gianoglio, followed by Dr Phyllis Ndlovu’s guidance on entrepreneurial mindset shifts and smarter financial choices.
Founder-trustee Dr Nomonde Mabuya and Israel L. N. shared strategies on trust structures and real-estate planning, while Pieter Taute and Monique Pretorius revealed behavioural-economics lessons to accelerate business growth. The gathering left attendees motivated, inspired, and ready to embrace the next eight years of bold and focused entrepreneurship.
