Van Schaik Bookstore Botswana

Van Schaik Bookstore Botswana is a branch of the South African academic bookseller Van Schaik Bookstore, in the Student Centre on the University of Botswana campus off Notwane Road, Gaborone, Botswana. Van Schaik traces its history to 1914, when Johannes Lambertus van Schaik opened a small shop in Church Street, Pretoria, selling Christian literature and stationery; by 1918 it was supplying textbooks to primary schools. The company says it now runs more than 60 stores across South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Eswatini, alongside an online store, and across the chain its range covers academic textbooks, general books, e-textbooks, stationery and electronics. The University of Botswana, established in 1982, is the country's first institution of higher education. It grew out of the regional university founded in 1964 for Bechuanaland, Basutoland and Swaziland, which became the University of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland after independence and later split into separate national universities. Its main campus is in Gaborone, with further campuses in Francistown and Maun. The branch has not published its stock, prices or opening arrangements online; phoning ahead before travelling is advisable.
