Penguin Random House South Africa, is the largest general trade publisher in southern Africa. The company has a reputation, established over more than 50 years, for publishing many of South Africa’s leading fiction and nonfiction writers as well as producing beautifully illustrated, expertly researched, and elegantly designed books about Africa. While many of its illustrated titles strive to capture the visual essence of Africa in the areas of nature, travel & heritage and lifestyle, their Penguin and Zebra Press imprints – representing Africa in Black and White – provide a more narrative view of the world of Africa, including biography, business, history, current affairs and sport. In addition, both the Penguin and Umuzi imprints publish quality fiction from the heart of the country with an emphasis on creative innovation, new voices and established writers, all imbued with ‘an edge that is uniquely South African’.
