Tafelberg Uitgewers

Tafelberg Uitgewers is a South African publishing house

Referred to as Tafelberg Publishers in English, the name is also written Tafelberg-Uitgewers. Very often listed simply as Tafelberg.

Founded in Cape Town in 1954, it was named after Table Mountain, the iconic symbol of Cape Town, as an imprint of Nasionale Pers Boekhandel, which had originally been founded on 9 Maart 1916 in Bloemfontein, and would become a central part of the publishing conglomerate NB Uitgewers (i.e NB Publishers).

Originally known for and focused on Afrikaans language and literature, it gradually widened its horizons to publish a wide range of nonfiction and fiction in both English and Afrikaans.
