Savanna Tobacco refutes cigarette smuggling charge
HARARE – There were reports last week that Savanna Tobacco was smuggling cigarettes into South Africa and that the company was making millions of dollars through the illegal trade.
DN: There have been accusations in the South African media that Savanna Tobacco is involved in the smuggling of cigarettes to South Africa. Please give us your comment on this.
ST: The accusations are patently false.
There is no iota of evidence by the media in question to back up this fictitious story. One Stephen Botha, head of Forensic Security Services (FSS), telephoned Savanna’s general manager in South Africa at the beginning of December promising “revenge” for the arrest of two of his service providers in Zimbabwe for espionage. Upon further investigation, FSS and Botha have been proven to be service providers for a major competitor of ours.
