LEPOSA fumes over Covid-19 treatment
MASERU-THE Lesotho Police Staff Association (LEPOSA) has accused the police authorities of turning a blind eye to their plight after four officers died of Covid-19.
The Leposa spokesman, Constable Motlatsi Mofokeng, told thepost yesterday that a further four police officers have been admitted at a hospital with Covid-19.
“Three of them have since been discharged while the fourth one is battling for his life,” Constable Mofokeng said.
He said they still have some police officers who are showing some symptoms associated with Covid-19 but are at their homes.
The four dead police officers were from Maseru Rural (Mazenod), Roma, Leribe and Butha-Buthe.

Molibeli ‘disbands’ LEPOSA
MASERU-POLICE Commissioner Holomo Molibeli has ordered the Lesotho Police Staff Association (LEPOSA) to immediately halt all its operations as he moved to stamp his authority within the police.
Commissioner Molibeli has also ordered that all LEPOSA members should stop wearing the association’s regalia or participate in any of its activities.
Police spokesman Superintendent Mpiti Mopeli said the order means that “all of their operations and everything about them has ceased from now on until further notice”.
He said the decision to ban all LEPOSA activities was reached last week.
The decision could immediately neutralise LEPOSA’s power within the Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS).
