The Patriot on Sunday is a newspaper published in Botswana on Sundays. The newspaper was founded in 2012 and is partly owned by parliamentarian Mpho Balopi.[2] The newspaper is indexed in AllAfrica.com.[3] The newspaper was involved in a Freedom of the Press dispute with the Printing & Publishing Company Botswana because of a negative perspective on the ruling party.[4]

Ownership

[edit]

The newspaper was owned by Botswana Democratic Party politician Mpho Balopi.[5] He sold the media company to Sadique Kebonang. Keobonang handed over the ownership of the newspaper to journalist Mpho Dibeela, who is the sole shareholder and director.[6][7]
