“…Of the 26 current vice-chancellors, the desktop review indicates that four are women, a total percentage of 15.38. This is a drop of two percent since a desktop review conducted in 2014 by Moodly (2015). Though the number of universities had increased from 23 to 26, the number of female vice-chancellors remained at four (in 2014 and 2016 respectively).…”

Women's academic pathways are not linear and chronological in an age-related pattern. This requires a framework that accommodates the unique personal circumstances of women in accessing leadership. The gendered nature of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that emanates from the institutional culture and the perception of leadership in women as a culture of service has impacted negatively on women and leadership. Continuous interventions can address the shortage of women representation and also address the cultural and environmental factors that create barriers. The authors present a theoretical overview based on literature and previous empirical research, and propagate that a framework should be put in place towards a life-cycle continuum of professional development for women. Based on Huberman's Teacher Life Cycles stages, it is particularly advanced to contend with factors as identified that impact on the dearth of women in HE leadership positions.

This demands a reimagining of leadership as part of the transformation process, by introducing women's ways of leading into the leadership space.…”

“…Principles of transformation as per the country's national agenda, as previously mentioned, affirm the recognition of women in all spheres and levels of society. As Moodly (2015) and Moodly and Toni (2015) argue, there is a need for women as role models to inspire women towards leadership. However, currently, these role models are few, but do exist.…”
