Metsing vows to kick out political appointees
By Nat Molomo
MOHALE’S HOEK — The Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) says contracts for political appointees like district administrators should end every five years along with the term of the government that appointed them.
Metsing told a campaign rally attended by about 4 000 people in Mohale’s Hoek on Sunday that if his party is elected into government it will have difficulties working with appointees of the previous government.
Metsing said he was shocked on February 28 to see district secretaries and principal secretaries dressed in party colours in parliament when Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili crossed the floor from the LCD with 44 other MPs to form the Democratic Congress (DC).
“How then are we expected to work with them after elections in a new government when they have so openly put on the new party’s colours?” he asked.
If the LCD is elected, he said, it will make sure that the contracts of district administrators and permanent secretaries expire when the government’s term ends.
Metsing was welcomed by the cheering LCD supporters who enthusiastically shouted, “O mocha mochine” (here is our new young leader).
He started his speech by narrating the problems which resulted in Mosisili defecting to the DC.
He said he was confident that the LCD was poised to become government after the May 26 general election.
“The truth is that Mosisili is no longer a welcome leader.
“Basotho now need change,” said Metsing, adding that the prime minister had done his part and could not stop change.
The LCD government will bring development to Mohale’s Hoek, he said.
“The money does not belong to the ruling party but to you as tax payers.
“Our government will not discriminate against anyone”.
Metsing cited the people of Ha ‘Mapotsane village about 4km out of the town, where the MP’s attempts to bring electricity to the residents failed because of squabbles within the LCD when it was still the ruling party.
He conceded that there were divisions in the LCD which resulted in factions but that was now water under the bridge because the party had reformed.
“We can only succeed to bring change through your votes and thereby provide an administration which will serve every Mosotho regardless of their political affiliation.”
The soft-spoken Metsing added: “We are leading a party which will be government after the May 26 general elections.”
He also noted that he was assuming the leadership of the party at a time when poverty, unemployment and the scourge of HIV and Aids are at their worst.

Comment by Ntate Poho on 10 May 2012:
So far I commend the move to ammend the constitution of LCD to allow only two five (5)terms for its LEADER. This move will definitely stabilize party politics if adopted. It should also be extended to the LAND’S Constitution in order to bring sustainable political stability in the country. Look at countries like Botswanam, RSA and others. It does not mean that there are no internal squables in the internal political formation, but they do not affect the stability of the country. I would also love to appeal to the CCN to be pivotal and influencial in this direction.

YES MR METSING WE NEED CHANGE(MCCD IS AWARE OF THAT THATS WHY AFTER DEFEATING YOU HE WILL APPOINT THE RIGHT CANDIDATE) ,BUT U ARE NOT THE RIGHT CANDIDATE TO TAKE OVER (U ARE NOT THAT CHANGE THAT WE NEED),I DONT EVEN THINK THAT U CAN MATCH MR LINCOLN MOKOSE IN TERMS OF SKILLS ,LEADERSHIP ,CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY.
THE FACT THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE OVER SO THAT WE CAN DISMISS THE GOVERNMENT SERVANTS WHO LOVES MCCD <IT SHOWS THE ELEMENT OF IMMATURITY,LET ME SCHOOL YOU,IF BY GOD~S GRACE U WIN THE ELECTIONS ,U MUST UNITE BASOTHO AND MAKE THEM ONE PEACEFUL NATION,NOT TO DISMISS THOSE WHO LOVE MCCD.IAM A SON OF THE CONGRESS FATHER ,THE MAN WHO WAS HIGHLY RESPECTED BY THE LATE NTSU,YOUR STATEMENTS MANIFESTS BO NATIONALE CONGRESS PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE WHO DONT REVENGE OR AVENGE <I WISH NTATE LIAKHE WAS ALIVE I WOULD SEND HIM TO U <SO THAT HE CAN SCHOOL U.

Comment by Vocalist on 10 May 2012:
Jomaleta i think u r not spot on with ur argument, it is improper for public officers to declare and show their affiliation in public. it is not about hating or loving Ntate Pakalitha but rather the principle.
secondly there is no issue of termination of contracts of those who love Ntate Mosisili rather there is mention of making contracts of political appointees to coincide with the term of government, that is to say they shud be given 5 years contracts kaha ke bapolotiki le bona ba sebeletse muso o ba o ratang. from a pespective of a man who is familiar with administration and good governance lyk me that makes perfect sense.
ache eena ea hore u r the son of the congress father who was respected by Ntate Ntsu it is totally colateral, what is its relevance to this article? u kno i dont

However some of the suggestions u made are permissible ,but it does not make metsing a Good leader,And I believe He is not the man who can bring about turn arounds in this land.
Anywhere go and manage music and leave me alone.

Comment by Vocalist on 10 May 2012:
Jomaleta since my birth in Lesotho there has only been 2 leaders with skill, ntate Leabuwa le ntate Ntsu. Ntate Metsing has only started being a leader of LCD ka March and i have gathered some leadership skills in his speaking, he is even aware of most events and things that affect Basotho. we are yet to see his leadership skills if he becomes the PM. with all due respect sir, ntate Pakalitha has had the bite of the cherry 4 15years but most things he achieved are achievable in one term. this roads they preach about have been constructed between 07 and now.

Comment by Reality! on 13 May 2012:
Basotho are relying on fucking shit salaries for their both ends meet. That’s why, most of basotho leave country and work in south- africa. Anyway, Lesotho should adjust civil servants’ salary compare with other’s neighboiur countries such as swarziland, botswana, namibia. South-africa is so far to compare with lesotho. Government is always taking that they can’t effort to pay. Why a small country like swarziland can pay more than lesotho. We have no idea for our country.
Comment by We wanna see Good future for our children! on 13 May 2012:
That’s absolutely true! All are victims of those fucking politicians. Our government can’t pay us for a decent living and we have to rely on foreigner’s company to pay more than our government. I am also totally disappointment to our politicians who accusing to foreigners. This is our country problem. Not need to accuse anybody! But, We need to change our regimen for our generations. I can’t let to happen the same difficulty situation now we are suffering for making ends meet

This country ha e hloke bo maithutoana e hloka Trial and tested leaders ,vocalist metsing is a talkative and he is immatured in politics ,yes Zeal e teng ho ena ,o hloka ho nyantsoa Tami ea Lipolotiki …lesotho lena le batho ba bangata haholo ba tsebang governance and ba clean in terms of Behaviour ,bo metsing ke bona batho ba entseng le hore lekhoaba a -tsoe ka hare ho naha .
I used to believe hore ntate ntsu ke leader e good but i was disppointed by some of his decision ha a fihla lesotho from botswana and SA,He is the reason of congress division ,while we were still in exile ntate Ntsu was Good ,a fihla a thetsoa hae mona.A lebala batho bane ba mo -tsehelitsa koana exile.
Leabua o ne a na le maano a good but he downfall was the bllod sheed of our congress brothers.
In the History ea congress ..Selometsi Baholo was the most powerful and intelligent leader followed by Molapo Qhobela .Taba li senyehile haho fongoa LCD,lpc,now DC .We need a congress leader who has the capacity to unite all congress parties.In 1993 we were in one accord but today enermies.
ka hona morena to me Metsing is a political baby he can not do anything to advance this country.
WHETHER U LIKE IT OR NOT MOSISILI IS THE ONLY WELL EXPERIENCED LEADER NOW ,EVEN THOUGH HE HAS WEAKNESSES HERE AND THERE .SO LETS INVEST IN HIM HOBANE THIS COUNTRY CAN NOT BE RULED OR LEAD BY BABIES LIKE METSING,YES WE NEED CHANGE BUT METSING IS NOT THE RIGHT MAN.
Comment by Lefefooane on 14 May 2012:
This is so disgusting that the man says his address is state house. I always wondered whether this size 2 has any brains. Che feela o teng motho oa monna ea ka elang university ho ithuta Sesotho (Maele, Maretlo puo, Liphafi etc) when there are so many courses one can study. Ke manna ea entseng joang eo eena a khethang ho ithuta Sesotho at university level? No wonder he at some stage called himself a professor> Eare ha ba mo thiba are “…Professor e ne ele lebitso laka la bolo….”. Then some Malasian fake varsity gave him some fake doctorate, poor size erected a big bill board advertising that he is now Dr. Size 2. He bathong. In no time he had lectured the LTV and Radio Lesotho guys to call him Dr, as though he has Phd when infact this was just honorary. How many times have you heard Nelson Mandela call himself Dr. Nelson Mandela yet he received so many honorary doctorates. Actually I have never seen any bill board portraying one as a ‘doctor’ except in the case of this Doctor of leadership.
Comment by Shawdy on 14 May 2012:
@Jomaleta: You are completely brainwashed if you think in a country with a population of about 2million people only one man can lead the country now.
You are talking about bringing congress parties together, and the very same person you think has the ability to do so failed LCD horribly (a blessing in disguise though) by favoring one faction over the other. And today he speaks like he has never been the leader of LCD!!!
In terms of governance, Ntate Mosisili is below average, or should I say he has failed??? Today he using problems he should have solved to campaign……????? I never thought he could make any of his ministers account for anything, many of them should have been fired long time ago, but he didn’t….I was surprised when he fired Ntate Metsing and the rest that he actually can fire Ministers, but he didn’t do it when it counted the most…..and you call that an experienced leader???
Lesotho has far more experienced leaders!!!
Comment by Khatibe on 14 May 2012:
@ Shawdy – le ha oka shoa o kutse monna oa heso. Bottom line is we have given the so called trialled and tested leaders a chance for more than 15yrs, as a matter of fact we are able to say they are trialled and tested today because we gave them a chance. It is time we gave another young leader the opportunity.
@Jomaleta, i am sure you nearly died when you saw the success of Hlotse rally, and that tells you people are embracing change and my advice to you is to do the same and stop worrying.
Comment by Lekhoakhoa on 14 May 2012:
@Shawdy -You are partially right but u misunderstood Jomaleta ,Jomaleta does not trust metsing he thinks metsing is a political baby ,and again Jomaleta admits that mccd had ups and downs during his reign however He thinks there are better leaders than Metsing in the country or within congress.Go and read Jomaleta entire message u will understand his argument,he stressed the point that mokhehle is the source of all this mess,which I totally agree with HIM.
@Khatibe in mechachane no 1 ,the fact that people attend conferences does not indicate they will vote 4 that Party.
Comment by Jomaleta on 14 May 2012:
This country is in Crisis ,it needs trial and tested leaders ,let me tell u the party I support so that u dont misunderstand me ,I support the congress(Botso botala Bokhubelu) before 1998 thats my party.
MCCD will retire very soon and I dont trust metsing at all ,I never said MCCD is the only capable leader ,Shawdy u dont get me at all.
@khatibe i want u 2 know that I will be happy if either DC or LCD wins however I dont believe that metsing is a potential Leader; u can not change or convince me to support metsing .I am congress and my Blood is GREEN <BLACK AND RED.I KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE ORIGINAL CONGRESS MEMBERS AND THOSE WHO CAME FOR OPPORTUNITIES EMPA LIPELONG E LE MANASI AND I WILL NOT VOTE FOR SUCH.
LET US NOT ALLOW THIS TO MAKE US ENERMIES ,WE NEED A LEADER WHO WILL UNITE CONGRESS PARTIES ,THAT MUST BE ONE OF HIS/HER AMBITIONS .
Empa ke bona eka DC etla win morena oa ka ,therefore never criticise me for that.lcd will be the opposition ke bona eka etla fumana feela mabatoha a 8 ,ABC a 3 .
O tla mpotsa ngoana monna DC etlo Wina ka analysis eaka,the problem those who dont like mccd are divided into many different parties ,yes many dont like him but the same parties which dont like him are not one ,thats why I say Come 26 may the man mccd will Win.
Comment by Khatibe on 14 May 2012:
@Jomaleta now you are speaking like a pure blood congress when you say “LET US NOT ALLOW THIS TO MAKE US ENERMIES”.
Humility is very important in congress and not only that but also truth, Justice and peace. Where you spoke like a Nazi is when you declared Ntate Metsing as a Nazi without fact and i found that comment very unjustified, but still yr opinion.
In your statement you further said”….WE NEED A LEADER WHO WILL UNITE CONGRESS PARTIES ,THAT MUST BE ONE OF HIS/HER AMBITIONS”
Its obvious that unity is important to you yet you follow MCCD who has showed lack of tolerance for those with different views and formed another congress without no concrete reason.
In conclusion, you mention this country is in crises and I agree with you 100% but my question is if you have been in power for 15yrs who is to blame for the crises?
I find the logic behind your thinking baffling that you trust the very person who is arguably to blame for the so called crises to take us out of the crises. I agree he has been trial and tested but you forget to mention he failed, thus the crises we are in. Let me enlighten you Basotho say bohlale ha booa aheloa ka hara ntlo ele ngoe. I would rather put my faith in a person who has attributes of a good leader than a person who has been trialled and tested and then failed.

Comment by Shawdy on 14 May 2012:
@Jomaleta, my apologies for not getting you quite right (thanks Lekhoakhoa), I read the very last statement, which to me summarised all that you had said. However I still think you are completely wrong, about Ntate Mosisili. Its good to be a political baby because you can grow, Ntate Metsing has grown and he currently demonstrates some level of maturity!! On the other hand the lack of capacity to grow is the downfall of every leader. Or should I say, political grandfathers really cant grow anywhere except to a rocking chair???
And we cant keep whining about leaders that don’t exist and will never lead Lesotho again..(Molapo and Selometsi).
I think Ntate Mosisili should have stepped down long time ago…..
In your statements you imply that some congress members ke “manazi” and you obviously think they do not have a right to be part of the congress movement. Ke ee utloe ma-DC a sa ntsa re ma-LCD ke ma Manazi…hahahaha…I think matla a manazi a highly exaggerated sometimes (like Ntate Mosisili’s popularity), especially in this period of Lesotho’s political arena!!! Who doesn’t want to be part of a winning movement????

Comment by Jomaleta on 15 May 2012:
Thank you Guys for sharing politics with me ,I still believe that one day God will take us out of these calamities,lets keep praying to God to come to our Aid ,however ,the painful thing that Hurts me is when politics make us enermies and when people die because of misunderstanding of politics,lefu la ntate machakela and mr lekhoaba le siile mahlomola pelong eaka .
I will have reasons why i respect ntate mccd together with his failures and success,however ,I think time for CHANGE has come and we must advance to another level he needs to appoint the man he has trained and tried to take us to our destiny ,unfortunately i dont trust metsing ,Iam thinking Ntate Malie is going to Control Him,lesotho needs someone with a very strong backbone ,who can resist even internal enermy.
However I think Metsing will go as time goes on but for now we need a turn around strategist-If Metsing wins we need to support him and make lesotho the better place in southern African,If he loses he must be cool and collected.
If DC wins mccd will have to step down and give moleleki and mokose chance to demostrate their skills ,and to step down will not mean he is weak.
Abc -must have new leader ntate thabane is getting older and older ,we really appreciate what he has done for us since 1965 his services have left the mark in our imaginations.
Lets go and vote for those we love ,le ha re hlotsoe re amohele re seke ra bolaeana bana ba thesele,ka hona ke hopola mantsoe a ntate oaka oa polotiki the late ntate Diekhe arena~Ealla koto ya khutla naha ,tsa khaoha liketane sa pholoha sechaba ,during tha time of exile,
I must say thank u Shardy ,Khatibe ,lekhoakhoa,lefefooane and others through this forum I have grown in politics .Khotso pula nala.lets continue even after 26 may ,who ever wins lets give Him the Blessing ,is not about the party but the success of our country.
Comment by Maru-mats'o on 15 May 2012:
@ Jomaleta
You show that you are a disciplined patriot and a true democrat. I agree with you that we should rally behind whoever wins, be it Ntate Tom, Metsing or Mosisili. We have suffered enough and been a laughing stock of other nations for too long. It’s just that some people conveniently choose to have a short-term memory about where we come from as a nation, and where we are today (I won’t repeat a well known history). We should not burn ourselves nor the country after the 26th. I also agree with you that should DC win, the current PM has to step down after the elections and hand over the baton to a new leader, say Mokola. (Like him or hate him, the man is smart, highly eloquent and well grounded in politics and experienced in government). Handing over power represents continuity and renewal of the party. I don’t know, but my gut feeling is that when all is said and done, when people have run out of insults, DC will win. I may be wrong but it’s my guess and not a fact. Don’t kill yourselves friends, if you hold a contrary view. I love you as my fellow countrymen; it’s just that we differ on perceptions.

@Jomaleta: A handshake to you mate!!! I am actually happy there is the seeming competition, I think it actually motivated a lot more voters in this election! There is nothing wrong with supporting different parties. Ntate Moleleki and Ntate Metsing should be given a chance to contest and may the best man come out a winner! Ntate Thabane and Ntate Mosisili should step down. I appreciate the move of LCD to make the term of the leader two terms (I think), maybe DC and other parties follow suit as well.
