THE PLAYER

Khanyisa Chawane — known to most as KC — is pure presence. A dynamic midcourter with speed, control and creativity, she brings world-class quality to Dragons. Whether she’s driving the attack, shutting down space or controlling tempo through centre, KC plays the game on her terms. She doesn’t just influence the game.
She leads it.

IMPACT FOR DRAGONS

KC is the engine. She sets tempo, drives momentum and connects every unit on court. Her ability to control the flow of the game makes her central to how Dragons play — fast, fearless and fluid. When KC is on — Dragons move.

BEYOND THE GAME

Off court, KC is just as impactful. Passionate about creating access to sport, she actively supports communities where opportunities in netball are limited — using her platform to open doors for others. Recognised as People’s Choice Sports Star of the Year (2024) in South Africa, she represents what it means to lead with purpose.

IN HER WORDS

“It’s about more than performance — it’s about impact, for the team and for the people watching.”
