A printing and publishing company belonging to Satar Dada has allegedly refused to print a privately owned broadsheet newspaper, The Patriot on Sunday, after it ran a story about a raid at his poultry farm. According to reliable sources, members of the police, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Trade and Industry officials raided Tswana Pride Poultry Farms in Notwane on December 20, 2012. The farm belongs to Dada who is also Botswana Democratic Party (BDP treasurer and owner of Printing and Publishing Company Botswana (PPCB).
The Patriot managing editor Bapasi Mphusu has confirmed this. Mphusu said they had submitted the paper on Friday night to be printed to PPCP overnight and to be packaged on Saturday. "The issue is that we had the story about their boss who owns Tswana Pride," said Mphusu. Information reaching this publication is that Dada administers brining at his poultry farm and he has admitted this in an interview with The Monitor. (See Police Raid Dada's Farm).
