Deshun Deysel

Managing Director : Deshun Deysel & Associates / Mother / Moutaineer / Entrepreneur / Educator

​Deshun Deysel was Nominated to be a Top 100 SA Difference Maker in August 2017. This remarkable woman writes in her own words: “I support initiatives like DMI-SA, because there is so much negative news hogging our collective thinking right now. I applaud the efforts of DMI-SA to highlight the incredible good and positive that is happening in society and around the world. I feel honoured to be part of such an initiative”.
  • “If you want to go fast go alone... if you want to go far go together” – African Proverb  
 
Deshun continues: “I believe that every human being has a divine path and unlimited potential. It is important to me to help people see that about themselves and to highlight the intrinsic value we have as human beings (Not because of money, power or status) but because we are all created in the image of the Divine. From my personal life journey (overcoming,oppression, trauma, abuse, difficulty) I know that it is possible for everyone. In my work I aim to inspire people to overcome obstacles; and to practice practical techniques, to step out of that which holds them back. As an ambassador and trustee for the Laureus Sports for Good Foundation, I also work in communities across South-Africa where we use sport as a tool (physical activity) to bring about social change.  
 
As a wife and mother to two beautiful children, I hope that my contribution to society will leave a better work for my children in time to come.I believe that every human being has a divine path and unlimited potential. It is important to me to help people see that about themselves and to highlight the intrinsic value we have as human beings (Not because of money, power or status) but because we are all created in the image of the Divine. From my personal life journey (overcoming,oppression, trauma, abuse, difficulty) I know that it is possible for everyone. 
Deshun Deysel is one of South Africa’s leading female mountaineers. In her 15 year career as a high altitude mountaineer, she has been on 14 major expeditions to five continents.In 1996 she made history by being part of the first group of South Africans to plant the new democratic flag on the top of Mt. Everest. As a novice climber Deshun was only able to reach Camp 2 at 6,500 metres (21,325 feet) that year, but subsequently returned to Everest in 2003. Bad weather, however, thwarted that attempt as Deshun made her way to the summit. Again she had to turn back – this time a mere 550vertical metres from the top (8,848 metres, 29,028 feet).Deshun has been an active promoter of high altitude climbing among women in Africa, where the sport is not widely known. She has had to fight stereotypes as an African female mountaineer in order to accomplish her high altitude dreams. Although her dream to reachthe top of Mt. Everesthas not yet being realised, her climbing exploits have inspired hundreds of South Africans to see high altitude mountaineering as a reachable goal.
Over 15 years of climbing, Deshun has lead groups to Mt. Everest Base Camp, including Olympic decathlon legend and Laureus World Sports Academy member Daley Thompson, as well as three groups to Mt. Kilimanjaro. She has also successfully climbed Mount Meru (Tanzania), Mount Kenya (Kenya), Mount Elbrus (Russia), Mount Kala Pathar (Nepal) and Mt. Blanc (France). She holds a Higher Diploma in Education from Rand College and Rand Afrikaans University and spent five years as a school teacher before taking up mountaineering.
