The Sport, Arts & Culture Department is part of the Student Affairs Division and is an official entity responsible for regulating, organizing, and coordinating student sports and cultural activities within the institution. It was established to represent and protect the sporting and cultural interests of students on all campuses based on the principles of unity, accountability, non-racialism, non-sexism, and democracy.

Sport and Culture have a significant role to play in the holistic development of CPUT students.

It creates an opportunity for youth leaders to meet and foster lasting friendships, which contribute to the development of a unified institution and serve as an ideal vehicle for promoting mutual understanding amongst students and staff from diverse backgrounds.

Its core business is to maximize student participation and encourage sporting and cultural practice in harmony with and complementary to the institution's academic character and values.
