Book publishing | Via Afrika Group | Cape Town

In the beginning they focused on the publishing of newspapers while the publishing of books received little attention. They started publishing an increasing number of books under the sun logo, particularly works by Afrikaans authors and poets such as Langenhoven, Leipoldt, Celliers and Totius, as well as school and university textbooks.

Over the years the Via Afrika group expanded the business through diversification, and reference works and dictionaries were published and book clubs were launched. They also branched out into stationery and distance education as well as the publishing of religious books.

In 1998 Via Afrika ventured into e-commerce with the launch of the Internet bookstore Kalahari.net.
