#SE032 - Phumla Mabena: Real Estate Diploma, Property Valuation, Work-Integrated Learning

Phumla Mabena is a third-year Diploma in Real Estate student at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), specialising in Property Valuation. Originally from Pretoria, Phumla is an energetic student leader who serves as the Department of Real Estate class representative, departmental dean liaison, and a three-time chairperson of the CPUT Performing Arts Society. Driven by a desire for career stability and leveraging her communicative, extroverted personality, she transitioned from an initial interest in educational psychology to mastering property valuation—a specialised and scarce discipline in South African higher education. In this student edition of the Sdeke Podcast, Phumla demystifies the real estate industry, explaining why her field extends far beyond residential sales. She breaks down the technical responsibilities of candidate property valuers, details CPUT's focused curriculum, outlines high school subject prerequisites, and shares practical advice on how students can bridge academic theory with real-world industry experience.
