The kingdom of Lesotho, situated and landlocked within the borders of South Africa, currently finds itself at a precipice following the announcement that the nation’s current prime minister, Tom Thabane, 80, is stepping down from his position. In the last few months, preceding Thabane’s incapacitation and subsequent resignation have been marred by controversies surrounding his wife, Maesaiah and the murder of his ex-wife and mother of his children, Lipolelo.
In the previous election, the two parties merged and agreed on a spilt - power sharing agreement where the All Basotho Convention had retained its old seats and ABC did the same with its own. This is a largely supported view from some quarters who are calling for the deputy prime minister Monyane Moleleki to take over Thabane in a bid to ensure that there is political stability, the question on everyone’s lips is, who is Moleleki and what is he bringing to the nation in the current highly protracted economic climate.
Playing a prominent leadership role in various political parties in Lesotho from the Basutoland Congress Party , Lesotho Congress for Democracy , Democratic Congress and now Alliance of Democrats , Moleleki was Minister of Natural Resources from 1993 to 1994, Minister of Information from 1996 to 1998, Minister of Natural Resources from 1998 to 2004, Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2004 to 2007, and Minister of Natural Resources from 2007 to 2012.
