Who is Pitso?
Pitso means "calling" in Sesotho, and it carries the blessing and supportive energy of our founder's late grandfather—a cherished soul who remains a guiding light for our mission.
​
We believe that each of us has been bestowed with a unique call to purpose in our lifetimes. Some among us carry the sacred energies of griots, wisdom keepers, and knowledge guardians—the voices that preserve culture, share truth, and illuminate paths forward.
​
Pitso Publications exists to identify, support, and develop these extraordinary individuals, helping them go beyond their potential to create works that will resonate across generations.
​
Our hippo logo represents a family totem that embodies our philosophy. Like the gentle giant water spirit, we stay grounded and keep close to our roots while knowing when to rise above the surface.
We maintain a beautiful balance between our connections to the spiritual worlds and the practical realities above the waterline. This duality guides everything we do, honouring tradition while embracing innovation.
Our Mission
Cultivating Voices​: We discover and nurture emerging authors who carry important stories, wisdom, and knowledge that the world needs to hear.

Our Vision for Tomorrow
We envision a future where knowledge endures beyond any catastrophe. Picture this: a child wandering through a vast forest discovers a publication bearing the Pitso logo, and within those pages finds exactly the wisdom, history, or practical knowledge they need for their development and survival. This is the legacy we're building—works so essential and enduring that they become treasures for future seekers of knowledge.
