Juta was born in Holland, trained in Law and was married to Karl Marx’s sister. He emigrated to Cape Town where he founded what is today the oldest active publishing house in South Africa, and may well be South Africa’s oldest unlisted public company still in existence.
The publishing and retailing company is largely associated with publications in the fields of law, education and academia.
In the fields of theatre, film, media and performance, the company's publications include:
The Masque of the Silver Trees (by Réné Juta, 1909); three plays by Cecil Lewis (Willem Adriaan van der Stel and the Burghers; Sir Harry Smith and his Juana, c1924: and Lady Anne Barnard and her Friends, c1927);
In Isisila sehobe: umdlalo weqonga ("The tail of a dove" – isiXhosa, by S.C. Satyo and E.F. Gwashu, 1985);
Educational editions of playtexts, such as Eleven One-Act Plays (ed. by A.D. Dodd and F.O. Quinn, 1965), .
