The Communication Workers Union (CWU) is a trade union representing ICT and postal workers in South Africa.
The union was founded in May 1996, when the Post and Telecommunication Workers' Association (POTWA) merged with two small staff associations: the Post Office Employees' Association, and the South African Post Telecommunication Employees' Association. Like POTWA, the union affiliated to the Congress of South African Trade Unions. While the leaders of POTWA were expected to win election to the leadership of the merged union, instead a rival slate of POTWA members won the initial elections, led by president Tlhalefang Sekano.

Trade unions in South Africa has a history dating back to the 1880s.

Through the turbulent years of 1948–1991 trade unions played an important part in developing political and economic resistance, and eventually were one of the driving forces in realising the transition to an inclusive democratic government.
