Launched in Johannesburg in 1993, PEG is a national body with three branches, Gauteng, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, each run by a committee of volunteers. PEG represents practitioners who operate in the South African publishing industry, corporate communications and media. PEG is a founding member of LAMP (an umbrella Alliance of Language and Media Professionals), whose mission is to promote the interests of all those professionals who serve this key sector of the South African economy. LAMP also represents our sector on book- and reading-development bodies. PEG was registered as a non-profit company (NPC) in February 2015.
