Damelin is a private college founded in 1943 by Benjamin Damelin. It has 9 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] In March 2024, it was deregistered for non-compliance along with other institutions under the Educor umbrella, CityVarsity, Intec and Lyceum College. The group has been accused by the Minister of Higher Education and Training of "unethical conduct, dysfunctional practices, bribery and other elements of corruption."[13]
Educor is a wholly owned division of A1 Capital, owned by Leo Chetty. It is one of the largest education service providers in Africa.
