Lesotho’s first lady, Maesaiah Thabane denies murder charge

She is also charged with the attempted murder of Thato Sibolla, who was in the same car with Lipolelo Thabane when she was ambushed near her home.

Maesaiah was charged on February 5, about three weeks after she fled the country into South Africa when the police called her for questioning. Her freedom might however be short-lived. The Court of Appeal will soon hear an urgent appeal by four people who want her bail cancelled. One of them is the Prime Minister Thabane’s grandchild and namesake, Thomas Motsoahae Thabane , who argues that the bail was illegally granted.

The police also say Mrs Thabane “is a friend of very dangerous Famo music gangs who are too fond of killing any person irrespective of reasons.”
