They’ve published titles by Desmond Tutu, Helen Zille, and Redi Tlhabi, while also distributing international literary powerhouses like HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster in South Africa. Under CEO Eugene Ashton, the house continues to balance intellectual depth with commercial relevance — a hallmark of its legacy.
