About Amava Heritage Publishing
Amava Heritage Publishing (PTY) LTD operates in the cultural, traditional and royal authority sphere. It is all about reclaiming our heritage as black people by researching, packaging, debating and publishing our stories. Stories that tell of our economy, our justice system, our governance structures and our heroes. Stories that prove there was life before the colonial invasion, before we were forcibly turned slaves, before we lost our self-worth, before we were made second class citizens, forced to be employees of white masters, before we lost the land, before we were forced to sell our souls for a plate of food. We want our children to be able to use this knowledge to understand and form a context of why things are like this today and what to fix in order to create a better tomorrow.

Mission
To find available material and publish it for school and wide accessibility to the growing masses of African activists who work so hard to define themselves different from what they have always been told.
