The '''South African Footplate Staff Association''' (SAFSA) was a [[trade union]] representing white railway workers in [[South Africa]].
The union was founded in 1905, as the '''Locomotive Engineers' Mutual Aid Society'''. It was initially focused on the Cape, but by the 1920s had 1,500 members across the country.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> It affiliated to the [[Federal Consultative Council of South African Railways and Harbours Staff Associations]] (FCC), and by 1962 it had 9,896 members. In 1975, the other FCC members affiliated to the [[South African Confederation of Labour]], but SAFSA decided against joining.<ref name="directory">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref name="miller">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
In 1976, SAFSA formed the South African Central Labour Organisation with the [[Amalgamated Engineering Union of South Africa]], but it proved unsuccessful, and in 1982 the union instead joined the [[Trade Union Council of South Africa]] (TUCSA).
