Massive blow for Mahao
dealing a death blow to his plans for a no confidence vote against Majoro.
‘Marafaele Mohloboli
FORMER ruling All Basotho Convention (ABC) deputy Nqosa Mahao’s plans to push a successful no confidence vote against the Moeketsi Majoro-led governing coalition appear dead in the water at least for now.
This after only nine legislators dumped the ABC to join his newly formed Basotho Action Party (BAP). The nine who have publicly joined the BAP are Mphosong MP Libe Motšoane, Sotlehang Sekhamane (Maputsoe constituency), Fako Moshoeshoe (Mabote), ‘Mamoipone Senauoane (Thaba-Tseka), Motlatsi Maqelepo (Berea), Mphosi Nkhasi (Pela-Tšoeu), Nto Moakhi (Malibamatšo), Tello Kibane (Peka) and Motebang Koma (Koro-Koro).
Ex- minister Au breaks silence on human trafficking saga
Mohalenyane Phakela
FORMER Home Affairs Minister, Tsukutlane Au, says he revoked the residence permit of the controversial Rana Qamar in 2017. Mr Qamar is a Pakistani currently at the centre of a drug and human trafficking storm.
Mr Au said Mr Qamar fled the country in 2017 upon learning of the moves to revoke his permit and only resurfaced in the country last year after the advent of the current governing coalition anchored by the All Basotho Convention (ABC) and Democratic Congress (DC).
Mr Qamar is currently in his home country after again fleeing the country last year in the wake of allegations linking him to an elaborate criminal web of drug and human trafficking activities, allegedly with the connivance of senior government officials.
