Former Chippa United and Baroka FC coach Dan Malesela has been appointed as the Head of Football Development at the newly revised Africa School of Excellence.
Tim Dlulane will lead the schools’ rugby ventures while Morio Sanyane has been tasked as the Group Head of Communications and Stakeholder Relations.
In November 2025, Chipcor Developers — led by businessman and Chilli Boys Chairman Siviwe “Chippa” Mpengesi, was officially appointed as the new custodian of the historic school in a major revival.
In a lengthy statement released by Chippa on Tuesday morning, the Group outlined what it aims to achieve in the long run.
“Chippa Group is proud to announce three strategic leadership appointments that reinforce our commitment to excellence, talent development, and organisational growth,” the statement read.
“We welcome Dan “Dance” Malesela as Head of Football Development at the Africa School of Excellence, Tim Dlulane to lead our rugby ventures, and Morio Sanyane as Group Head of Communications and Stakeholder Relations.
“Together, they will play a key role in advancing the Group’s vision and shaping the future of sport, education, and community development.”
After years of dilapidation, Transnet had stepped in temporarily to safeguard the school due to financial unsustainability under previous management before Chipcor eventually took over.
