Thabane quits, faces charge for wife's murder

'Maesaiah stayed in the state house with Thabane during his first stint as prime minister.In the meantime, Lipolelo was fighting a legal battle to be recognised as the first lady so she could enjoy the plum benefits. Yet not even her court victory could persuade Thabane to afford her those benefits. When Thabane sued for divorce Lipolelo fought back, arguing that he was trying to end the marriage so he could continue his extramarital affair with 'Maesaiah.

She, however, stopped being a hindrance to Thabane's marriage to 'Maesaiah on June 14 2017, when she was shot dead by several gunmen.

Says he will resign in July. Why not now?

I can only imagine how courageous the investigating police& police commissioner had to be.Since '94🇿🇦 has had 12450 political killings.Some are done in the open, perpetrators are known hitmen yet SAPoliceService have only seen the successful prosecution of Thuli Ndlovu's killers

I hope he goes to jail and dies therr. There is little child without a mother because of his selfishness. Moleko wa nkwabetla

This is so sad.... a woman he vowed to love and protect!
