HC Deb 01 April 1953 vol 513 c155W
71. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is now prepared to state in what way the African Press Limited will be of benefit to the African tobacco and cotton producers; and what information will be given in the newspaper, and in what language, as a result of the loan approved by the Governor.

Mr. Lyttelton

The assets of African Press Limited have now been taken over by a private company, Kachalola Limited, a subsidiary of the Bantu Press Group which, I understand, propose to commence publication of a weekly newspaper for Africans in Nyasaland later this year.
