The South African Liberal Students' Association (SALSA) was founded in 1993. SALSA is descendent of the South African Liberal Association (SALA) (1936 - 1968); which was the first non-racial political organisation in South Africa. SALSA is an independent student organisation which believes in, practices and promotes the principles of liberal democracy.

In addition, SALSA also assists liberal students to enhance their career and life development, as well ensuring that the highly successful SALSA Alumni are kept informed and well connected to the liberal students of today.
