CONTROVERSIAL Pakistani national, Rama Qamar, who has been accused of human trafficking alongside some senior government officials, could also have been involved in the equally heinous crime of drug trafficking, the
Lesotho Times has learnt.
Mr Qamar’s alleged criminality prompted His Majesty King Letsie III’s Senior Private Secretary (SPS), Monehela Posholi, to implore the police to probe the controversial Pakistani because he was allegedly selling drugs to, among others, National University of Lesotho (NUL) students putting their futures at stake. But nothing seems to have been done by the police, then under the control of former Prime Minister Thomas Thabane’s coalition.

HOME Affairs Minister Motlalentoa Letsosa says the government has submitted its report to the United States (US) government detailing the measures it has taken to address the latter’s concerns about alleged rampant human trafficking.
Mr Letsosa said the report was submitted to the US embassy in Maseru on Friday. This was just a couple of days shy of the 1 February 2021 deadline the US government had given for the submission of the report, failing which Lesotho would have automatically lost its eligibility for US development assistance and preferential trade benefits under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), among other things.

JOHANNESBURG - Lesotho’s Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro fired a defence minister who he appointed just 10 days ago, signaling an apparent loss of power within his party.
This follows reports that the All Basotho Convention, which is still led by murder-accused former Prime Minister Tom Thabane, threatened to remove him if he failed to reverse the appointment.
(MENAFN - The Post) MASERU -KNIVES are out against Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro, amid a fresh and aggressive push to oust him.
Pushing for Majoro s removal is All Basotho Convention (ABC) leader former Prime Minister Thomas Thabane, who is backed by his son-in-law and the party s secretary general Lebohang Hlaele.
Party spokesperson Montoeli Masoetsa is now in Thabane s camp and the public face of the plot against Majoro.
Hlaele and Masoetsa were once central figures in deputy leader Professor Nqosa Mahao s camp that helped Majoro become prime minister.
The push to remove Majoro has split the ABC s executive committee right in the middle. In Hlaele and Masoetsa, Thabane seems to have found willing tools to advance his political interests against Majoro. It doesn t appear as if Thabane wants to return as prime minister.
