History
Via Afrika: A legacy of educational excellence
Via Afrika has been publishing a comprehensive range of curriculum content and literature for schools, TVET Colleges, and CET Centres in South Africa for more than 75 years.
Via Afrika offers over 1 100 CAPS-approved school textbooks aligned with the current South African Curriculum. These books are available as printed editions, as well as in two ebook formats (EPUB and ePDF). A key feature of these ebooks is the inclusion of multimedia and interactive enhancements that do not require internet connectivity to be used in the classroom. Explore our products
Via Afrika partners with leading educationalists, including teachers, academics, and Department of Education subject specialists, to create learning materials that make a real difference. We are also highly selective in the quality of freelancers and other service providers we contract to add value to our authors’ manuscripts.
Building on our decades of experience in content creation, Via Afrika has developed a wide range of training courses for educators. These courses focus on elearning principles and methodologies and are offered online in an asynchronous format through our Via Afrika Digital Education Academy (VADEA).

Remaining true to its roots, Via Afrika outsources the printing and distribution of all its materials to South African businesses.
To support emerging African-language writers, Via Afrika runs the WritePublishRead programme. This initiative empowers first-time authors to self-publish their work online as ebooks, making their stories accessible to all. To date, 112 brand-new authors have been established through this programme. Learn more
