Lesotho PM tells SA envoy he wants to retire, as police seek his fugitive wife

“It was proper for the prime minister to request it and inform the neighbours of his intentions ,” Lesotho minister of communications science and technology Chief Thesele Maseribane said.“We need to understand that it is a process, there should be some constitutional requirements. There should be arrangements that have to be done. An official statement is still awaiting that. We need to inform other stakeholders also of this honourable intention of retirement,” Maseribane said.

“We started with a courtesy call to His Majesty the King and then we went to see the prime minister who explained the issues that are unfolding here in the Kingdom of Lesotho,” he said.“We will support all the measures and decision that the honourable prime minister and the people of Lesotho are making and SA is ever ready to put its shoulder to the wheel because that is what a good neighbour does,” he said.He said they were very optimistic about the political developments in Lesotho.

Thabane’s intention to retire comes after the opposition and his own ABC party called for him to vacate office. This was after he was accused of shielding his wife who is wanted by the police. Police put up posters in its headquarters and other police stations with Maesiah’s picture as a wanted person.
