Beauty Nomvuzo Dlulane (born 23 November 1960) is a South African politician who served as the chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Sports, Arts and Culture in the National Assembly of South Africa. She represented the African National Congress (ANC) in Parliament from 1997 until 2024. Between 2012 and 2022, she was also a member of the National Executive Committee of the ANC.
Dlulane entered the National Assembly in 1997 but then spent a decade, from 1999 to 2009, in the National Council of Provinces, where she was the provincial whip for the Eastern Cape delegation. During that period, in October 2006, she was convicted of defrauding Parliament in the Travelgate scandal. After she returned to the National Assembly in the 2009 general election, she chaired Parliament's multi-party women's caucus from 2009 to 2014 and then chaired the Portfolio Committee on Sport and Recreation from 2014 to 2019. She was elected as the chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Sports, Arts and Culture after the 2019 general election, when the committee was established.
