Damelin is a private college founded in 1943 by Benjamin Damelin. It has 6 campuses in South Africa and is owned by Educor (the Education Investment Corporation Limited) group.[8][7][10][2][3][4] Damelin offers degrees, diplomas and other higher qualifications, but is considered a college instead of a university due to the regulations for tertiary institutions in South Africa.[11] Damelin is the oldest and most profitable education subsidiary owned by Educor.[3] By November 2012, over one million students had graduated from Damelin.[12]

Educor is a wholly owned division of A1 Capital, owned by Leo Chetty. It is one of the largest education service providers in Africa.
