  • DITSELA (the Development Institute for Training, Support and Education for Labour), or the DITSELA Workers' Education Institute is a union education organisation in South Africa. It was founded in 1996 by two of the then-largest union federations in South Africa, the Federation of Unions of South Africa (FEDUSA) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) to help build a strong trade union movement. It was subsequently joined by the National Council of Trade Unions (NACTU). It has offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The acronym is a pun: ditsela also means 'pathways' in Sesotho, leading to the institute's slogan of 'Pathways to a Strong Labour Movement'. It was intended to consolidate the existing union education programmes, and help the unions develop their own education programmes. It was described in 2007 by an International Labour Organization as the 'largest union education institute in Africa'. Its main funder, however, is not the unions but the state. (en)
