Deal sealed
MASERU — Three opposition parties have sealed a deal to form a coalition government.
The leaders of the All Basotho Convention (ABC), Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) and Basotho National Party (BNP) signed the deal on Tuesday.
The deal has been approved by the executive committees of the three parties.
The agreement seen by the Lesotho Times says ABC leader Tom Thabane whose party got 30 seats in Saturday’s election will be the prime minister.
Mothetjoa Metsing whose LCD party got 26 seats will be the deputy prime minister.
A role will be found for BNP leader Thesele Maseribane whose party got five seats.
The coalition commands the 61 seats required to form a government.
This paper understands that although the three parties started talking before the election the real negotiations for the coalition started on Sunday after the parties realised that Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili’s Democratic Congress (DC) had failed to garner 61 votes to form a government.
The DC has 48 seats and is scrounging around to get the 13 more seats it requires to remain in government.
Yesterday Thabane, Metsing and Maseribane informed the Independent Electoral Commission and the Council of State about their deal.
Their letter said “from the results of the general elections 2012 it is apparent that the coalition stands to command majority in the National Assembly, being a total number of 61 seats”.
“We therefore kindly request the Council of State to advice (sic) the King accordingly and attend to this matter urgently as the issue is of national interest,” the letter said.
The deal means that even if the DC manages to persuade other small parties to join its coalition it will not be able to muster enough seats to form a government.
As things stand the Popular Front for Democracy (PFD) which got three votes has already said it will throw its lot behind the Thabane-led coalition.
The Marematlou Freedom Party (MFP) which got one seat has said it will do the same.
That means the DC will have to negotiate with All Democratic Corporation, Basotho Congress Party, Basotho Democratic National Party, National Independent Party, Lesotho People’s Congress, Lesotho Workers’ Party and Basotho Batho Democratic Party.
These parties got one seat each. Even if they agree to form a coalition their seats will not help the DC get 61 seats.
The best the coalition can achieve is 55 seats.
Last night the DC’s deputy leader Monyane Moleleki said his party was going to proceed with attempts to form a coalition government.
Moleleki told a press conference that was also attended by dozens of supporters that the party has started negotiating with some political parties to form a government.
He however refused to name parties the DC had approached, saying that information will only be revealed in parliament.
He also said the DC would accept defeat if it fails to get enough seats to form a government.
“If there is no party ready to form a coalition with us then we will concede defeat and become His Majesty’s loyal opposition,” Moleleki said.
In an interview last night Thabane said there is “no way the DC is going to form a government”.
He said Mosisili must start packing “his bags from the State House and government because his time is up”.
“The election result shows that the people want change and the DC must accept that,” said Thabane.
“I can tell you that Mosisili is now 100 percent replaceable.
“He should just go.”
Thabane said over the next few days he will meet Metsing and Maseribane to tie the loose ends of the deal.
“Although there are some differences in policies we think that will not stop us from working together in government.
“Most of the differences are on emphasis and outlook but that can be worked out”.
Thabane said he was going “to fight like hell” if the DC tries to approach some of his MPs to cross the floor.
“In the coalition we are determined that we will not be divided or induced.
“We are united by our determination to get the DC out of government.”
Mosisili tendered his resignation as premier to the King yesterday but was told to remain as head of government until a new administration takes over.
The King was worried that Mosisili’s resignation would leave a vacuum in government.

The famous carrot and stick approach is being used on opposition MP’s . Mokola is saying take care of me, I will do the same for u but if you fail to protect me your family is in danger. Nxa batsoali ba rona ba lebona. I think it’s time the coalition starts approaching DC MP’S ,they can start with the lady DC leaders who have reacently felt the sephali SA mokola.

MASERU — King Letsie III has ordered Democratic Congress (DC) leader Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili to remain in office until a new premier has been appointed and sworn in.
The Government Secretary’s office announced last night that the king’s directive followed Mosisili’s procedural resignation yesterday following Saturday’s general election.
Under Lesotho’s constitution King Letsie III is expected to call a special meeting of parliament within 14 days from the date of holding elections where MPs will be sworn-in, the speaker and deputy speaker elected and a party leader who will be the Prime Minister will be elected.
The elected Prime Minister is required by Section 87 of the Constitution to be from a party with the required majority of MPs to form government.
The same section says if no party has the majority to form a government the party with the highest number of MPs is given first preference to court other parties to form a coalition with it.
“The nation will recall that no political party garnered the required majority to govern effectively.
“As such all the political parties are engaged in negotiations in order to chart the way forward, with the right to form a government being guided by the total number of seats obtained by the political parties,” read part of the government statement.
“The entire process should be completed within 14 days of the holding of the National Assembly elections.”
Former attorney general, Kelebone Maope, who is now leader of the Lesotho People’s Congress party, told a local radio station this week that it was normal within Commonwealth countries for political parties to form coalition governments where no party commands an absolute majority.
“It is because of this parliamentary tradition, which is chiefly practised in Britain, that many Commonwealth countries’ constitutions have made this provision,” Maope said.
Maope brushed aside insinuations that the Lesotho constitution is riddled with loopholes regarding how the current situation should be handled.
Maope, who was the mastermind behind the writing of the current constitution, was a constitutional law lecturer at the National University of Lesotho.
Attorney Qhalehang Letsika told the Lesotho Times last night that if no party is willing to enter into a coalition to form government and all parties are unable to reach the required number of MPs there will be a hung parliament and the Independent Electoral Commission would have to call for a fresh election.
“Section 87 of our constitution has all answers to this problem and the parliamentary norms can be applied where appropriate,” Letsika said.

@ Semenekane ke ea leboha monna oa heso, but be wary of Mahaletere, 14days is still very long and whether we like it or not, there are people who are in it for their self enrichment and not the people who made them MP’s. Cross your fingers that this MP’s will not allow moea oa satane to entice them.

A minority government, in a parliamentary democracy, is one in which the governing party has fewer seats than the parties of the opposition. In the opposite situation, a majority government, the government is virtually certain to win any vote put to the legislature. It can thus be said to have the full confidence of parliament. A minority government is part of a hung parliament and can be subject to a vote of no confidence, which would bring down the governing party and force an election. A minority cannot occur in a two party system, but as the number of parties in the legislature increases, so does the chance of a minority. ma national le ntena hobane reading culture ha se ntho eo lenang le eona lentse lere nyoe!nyoe!nyoe!Mosisili nyoe!ha le bale hase hore minority gvnmnt e ne tlameha ho hla molaong oa motheo,uena common sense e o fang!if haesale Lesohto le busoa ka majority gvnment ha ho boleloe hore the opposite of that ha se ntho e teng empa ele hore it has some limitations.hlaphoheloang hleng b rational lipolotiki hase papali.

This is really a decline. No wonder he now talks of manority government. What on earth is this minority government? Minority government does not have a place in a democratic society.

Comment by Morutehi on 31 May 2012:
@Lefefooane, A minority government or a minority cabinet is a cabinet of a parliamentary system formed when a political party or coalition of parties does not have a majority of overall seats in the parliament but is sworn into government to break a Hung Parliament election result. To deal with situations where no clear majorities appear, parties either form coalition governments, alliances or agreements with other parties to stay in office.

Comment by Selomo on 31 May 2012:
There is a lot of angry, exited or disappointed waffling on this wall right now, with very little focus of mind and objectivity. Of course there are people who are deservedly celebrating their triumphs in the past elections; well and good! All in all, this is democracy at work! All true democrats across the political spectrum should celebrate our democratic elections, but remain vigilant of agitators for post election trouble which has become characteristic of Lesotho.
There are a few realities which all need acknowledge in spite of our political allegiances:
•If the ABC has succeeded to bring together like-minded parties in a coalition under their leadership, they should get the chance to form government; and the DC has to step back and let them do that.
•The DC under the leadership of PB Mosisili is the single biggest political party in Lesotho on the basis of the election results, and the least they will become in the 8th Parliament is His Majesty’s loyal official opposition. Its leader will therefore be entitled to the relevant privileges because his party has more than a quarter of the support in parliament.
•The biggest loser in this election is the LCD who have gone down from 61 seats in 2007 to 26 in 2012. As a minor partner in a coalition government while having been in the previous government, they are likely to be worse off in public support. They will be blamed for the previous government’s errors and the new government’s errors.
•Some big heads have rolled in these elections in terms of constituency loses; some former ministers are not even going to be in parliament! Also some political parties should be struck off the roll for being a waste of public time and money.
•Similarly, there have been some historically massive wins by some MPs. I think Semano Sekatle may have broken the record in terms of number of votes for an individual seat in Lesotho’s history at 7,254.
All true democrats need neither celebrate too hard and lose their heads, or mourn their loss to hard and lose their hearts.

@mawande ,the true coalition must include the party that has won unless it doesnt want to be part of that, there wont be peace unless Dc is allowed to be part of Coalition ,the current coalition is the coalition against a certain part(DC) not a coalition to govern ,who are u going to govern . metsing walk in hatred yet he uses the bible to campaign -there is a power of unforgiveness operating in his heart ,how can u trust that God will be with u while u revenge and avenge against those who tresspass against u. MCCD has resigned so why is he still angry with DC members .ha ke bone kopano o bua ka eona mawande feela dc e khesoa.There is a Rain that is coming within 14 days ,justice will prevail and the law will take its course(lets wait and see if lesotho will have a PM who have just won 26 or 12 seats).
manasi(ABC) u are used to doing things that are unconstitutional ,beat us with votes and apply the law effectively then u can be a proper and lawful government(u cant hijack democracy where is BCP now) .LCD will split again if metsing think that He owns it or He is LCD and undermine the minority that has selected him ,how can he enter the coalition without going back to the voters at the grass roots level.If metsing was a true lcd leader he was supposed to wait for 14 days and consult all branches of lcd and hear their opinions ,he owes his supporters a big apology within 14 days or someone will campaign for his position at lcd .

Democracy is not only when Ntate MCCD is voted into power.
If there is any body to blame is Ntate MCCD for what has befallen you.
I wonder if he knew that the minute he fired Ntate Mtsing as Communications minister, he was literally resigning himself as a PM. What went up by the ballot must come down by the ballot. So on that note guys wait your turn 5yrs later, Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa.

When will you come to the reality that members of parliament are equal irrespective of whether one is a constituency or PR MP? A look at the outgoing cabinet ea DC/LCD will show you that more than 5 DC/LCD MPs were elected by proportional representation and went on to be ministers. Mamphono(Mamoshanyana), Lineo Molise-Mabusela-Masomething, Motloheloa Phooko, etc were all PR MPs. Lest you forget how DC/LCD benefited from that shameful adulterous marriage with NIP. From now on, you must decist from refering to mps as either constituency mps or PR mps or Highlands (Ba Maloting) or Lowlands MPs. Once those people are gazzeted as mps they are equal.

Comment by Thaba-Telle on 31 May 2012:
Ever wondered why BCP/LCD/DC has been winning elections consistently over the years? It’s because some people choose to quash the truth, but the truth, as it usually does, reemerged like a ball pressed down into water when it’s released. The truth is that in 1970, BCP had won the elections fair and square, but the rulers denied it the right to govern. So, this injustice was recorded in the hearts of people and younger generations. Based on that historical fact, I would urge DC to accept the ruse used by the coalition driven by envy, hatred and burning hunger for power.
Just when he opened his mouth, the leader of the coalition came out blazing fire, spewing vitriol; not conciliatory at all, telling the outgoing PM with his trademark larger-than-life attitude to ‘pack his bags and go’, disregarding the command by the King that the PM should stay put until all the arrangements have been made to install a new government. That’s claptrap from a person who wants to be the leader of the nation! Always be gracious in defeat and humble in victory. The day of reckoning shall come. Come 2017, and years ahead, people will not forget this flagrant theft and machination intended to subvert the will of the people in plush hotels. Let them rejoice for now, but surely payback time will come; when I don’t know.

Comment by Nthakzie on 31 May 2012:
Molele, go home with your head right up because you were never reluctant or even afraid to advice the king to call on elections whenever they were due.secondly, DC has not lost elections. it actually came first, but unfortunately, DC could not secure enough parliamentary seats to form a government. thirdly, you admit defeat because you handed your resignation letter to the King who then ordered you to stay put. so, all these are signs of a vey good political leader this country has ever produced. so now that Basotho have won in the elections, you too should be very proud.
To the in-coming new coalition administration, my plea is that, whenever and for whatever reason you do, please make it point that it is worked towards VISION 2020. if that happens, my vote would have done so much. Basotho pele, Lesotho ke la bohle.

Comment by observer on 31 May 2012:
MASERU — King Letsie III has ordered Democratic Congress (DC) leader Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili to remain in office until a new premier has been appointed and sworn in.
The Government Secretary’s office announced last night that the king’s directive followed Mosisili’s procedural resignation yesterday following Saturday’s general election.
Now doesnt procedural resignation mean Mosisili was just following a constitutional procedure in order to facilitate the appointment of the new PM?
Didnt he do the same thing in 2007 to facilitate the appointment of the new PM?? Didnt he also do the same in 2002??
The same applies to the dissolution of parliament, the King dissolves the parliament prior every national elections & this by no means imply that he overthrows parliament.
Lastly, I think people are putting the cart before the horse, it is premature to bury Mosisili or DC since they also have 14days to form a coalition with any other party & dnt be surprised come 12 june when DC walks down the isle with LCD, hand in hand

Comment by Mafonyoko on 1 June 2012:
Thabane said he was going “to fight like hell” if the DC tries to approach some of his MPs to cross the floor.
What do you mean by this statement? Do you mean you can kill someone for power? This statement is worrying. Who killed your deputy Machakela as we have heard he wanted to cross to DC before he got murdered? Ntate, mind your words. You are so aggressive just because you always wanted to be a prime minister. We,basotho don’t ever need a violent regime in this country. If you wish to murder your colleagues in parliament, that means you can us as a nation. We don’t want to see all the evil deeds that we have experienced during Leabua and his BNP regime. If you want to be respected, first start respecting the entire nation of Lesotho.
I think each MP has got a right to change his or her mind. They have got the rights to switch to another party if they wish to do so. They are not compelled to be in your party for your own selfish interest. I’m disgusted by your evil words and you make us hate politics. We don’t need politics of hate, don’t need politics of murder in this country. It would be a curse!!!

Taba ena ea Machakela must be investigated ,hona le batho ba eang toronkong .Basotho are not stupid they know the people who eat machakela ,Ba keke ba atleha le-khale .They think that they are clean baitlatsoa ka DC ..wait and see..
MASERU — The All Basotho Convention (ABC) chairman Sello Machakela has defected to Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili’s newly formed Democratic Congress (DC), the Sunday Express has learnt.
A senior DC official told this paper that Machakela was on Wednesday introduced to a caucus of DC MPs as one of the party’s newest members.
The caucus was held a day after parliament had adjourned “sine die” in preparation for the May 26 general election.
The official who was also part of the caucus meeting said Machakela was introduced to DC MPs as a member of the party.
“We were told that Machakela was now a new member of the DC and that his family had also been welcomed to join under him,” the source said.
Machakela defected from the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) to Thomas Thabane’s ABC in 2006.
At the time of his defection he was labour minister in the LCD administration which made him one of the most prominent people to join the ABC.
He became a member of Thabane’s inner circle until a few months ago when the relationship soured.
Machakela dragged the ABC to court on grounds that the party had barred him from contesting the May election in Malimong constituency.
The case is still pending in the High Court with judgment expected to be delivered on Wednesday.
On February 29 Machakela voted with the DC and National Independent Party (NIP) MPs in a confidence vote for Mosisili.
This was despite the fact that Machakela’s opposition colleagues walked out in protest against the motion.
DC secretary general Ralechate ‘Mokose last week said the onus was on Machakela “to confirm or dispute” that he had joined the DC.
But another senior official of the DC confirmed on Friday that Machakela had indeed joined the DC.
“It is true that he has joined us. But I don’t know if he’s in a position to comment on the record as yet,” the official said.
“There is procedure to be followed before one can be declared an absolute member. It (the process) has not yet been completed.”
Machakela told this paper that although he had been in talks with the DC on a couple of occasions he had not yet joined the party.
“It’s true I’ve been in talks with the DC, but I’ve also had similar meetings with other political parties,” Machakela said.
“One resigns from his party if there’s a letter to show for it and I haven’t submitted mine as yet.”
However, Machakela admitted that he was fed up with the ABC.
“When I voted with the DC in parliament, the ABC leader went on radio to say he saw me pulling up my trousers and crossing the river,” Machakela said.
“He only said that because of the case I have against the ABC in the High Court where I’m challenging the party’s decision to bar me from contesting elections.”
Machakela said he was disappointed with the way the ABC is dealing with issues.
“It’s not the kind of a political party I’d thought it would be. The manner in which it handles issues is not satisfactory,” he said.
“It gets worse when one considers the impact this could have on their political future. Because of such issues, you end up searching for a new political home.”
Asked if by a new political home he meant the DC, Machakela laughed and said “ideal leaders sat down with members of their parties instead of throwing stones”.
“The DC leader is one of the finest leaders I’ve come across, although he has weaknesses which we all have as human beings. I’ve been with Mosisili for a very long time, we had difference of opinion,” Machakela said.
“But he’s a tolerant leader who also makes time to listen and gives you a platform to air your views on issues.”
ABC secretary-general Thabiso Lits’iba told the Sunday Express that although the party had not yet received Machakela’s resignation they had heard rumours he had joined the DC.
“That he has officially been introduced to the DC as its member is news to me. But I can confirm that we’ve heard rumours that he and a group from Malimong have joined the DC,” Lits’iba said.
“We’re yet to receive his resignation from the ABC. But the surprising part about this is that he still has a case against the ABC pending in the High Court.”
However, Lits’iba said Machakela’s decision, if it was true, was not shocking because he had voted with the DC in parliament recently.
“We wait to hear when he intends to resign from the ABC because he has not yet done so,” Lits’iba said

Now is the time to look forward and forget about the last regimes mistakes and mismanagements.These talks of congress vs. nationals ain’t doing us good at all.Lesotho has healed from the past injustices,so let us not open those wounds.Demopcracy was born in 93 so let us let it take its course.Remember:”He who know most grieves most for wasted time”
Whoever lead our country to poverty shall be voted-out by the masses of the people.Corruption got no room in a democratically run country.Nepotism,unemployment,crime and smuggling out of resourses belonging the nation by dem leaders is what people are and will vote against.

Let me express my solidarity with the struggling for Freedom in Mountain kingdom ,I have observed the political situation in Lesotho and everybody is excited with the word Coalition ,and Basotho cant wait for Thomas Thabane and Metsing to Drive the vehicle so-called coalition ,however I foresee the disaster in this coming coalition government , if it will be successful,whoever will win shall get my Blessing but I hate coalition governments and my mind tells me that Lesotho is heading for Economic Disaster ,and King letsie must now rise up to this occasion before it is too late ,He must seek for an advise from Economic experts and Gurus .
The questions ringing in my mind are ;
Will the coalition manage to deal with the change they are talking about ,without involving members of the current government DC, How ?maybe Lesotho will make a history.
Will the coalition Work and Bring Change in Lesotho?
Coalition government means alliances of several parties. This situation arises, if no party on its own can achieve majority in the Parliament. To have strong coalitions, it is necessary that political parties must moderate their ideologies and programme.
The problem is that they often will disagree with each other due to different beliefs which could lead to a split in the group. The most obvious criticism of coalition is that it could form divided government.. This is seen by some as a majorly bad thing as it supposedly does not allow ‘strong’ government. Having more than one party in charge of decision making could cause a lot of arguments between the leaders of the country as the top ministers may have opposing political ideologies and views. It could also mean that it is very hard to get policy through the governmental process meaning government could be overall less effective in the running of the country. In this case another problem could be the disproportionate power that the ABC would gain out of the coalition .
Theorists who disapprove of coalition governments believe that such governments have a tendency to be fractious and prone to disharmony. This is because coalitions would necessarily include different parties with differing beliefs and who, therefore, may not always agree on the correct path for governmental policy. Sometimes the results of an election are such that the coalitions which are mathematically most probable are ideologically unfeasible.
In a alliance government, it is the prime minister who is the most concerned
with the excellence of governance. In many coalition governments, the power is not
concentrated on the prime minister because he/she does not directly control rank-and file members in other parties; individual parties maintain certain autonomy. While the prime minister of a coalition government has only limited authority, s/he plays a leading role in facilitating coordination among coalition member parties so that they can make full use of the authority of government
A second difficulty might be the ability of minor parties to play “kingmaker” and, particularly in close elections, gain far more for their support than their vote would otherwise indicate. Additionally, existing, powerful parties can use their leverage in coalition to hinder the growth and formation of new parties by forming alliances without them.
I totally think coalition government t in Lesotho can’t able to bring about proper development of country because the government will not have power to make decisions herself. The government have to follow the ideas of other political parties .
When coalition parties fail to reach agreement in the policy-making process, the
government cannot accomplish much because, as a result of coordination failure,
coalition parties may take steps that produce inefficient outcomes such as deadlock or the termination of the coalition. Previous research indeed shows that ideologically diverse coalitions tend to be short-lived (Warwick 1992) and experience more delays in introducing bills (Martin 2004) as well as delays in debates in the parliament (Martin 2004; Martin and Vanberg 2005). While coalition parties recognize the problem of coordination failure, the government performance does not always merit the greatest concern for them because they have strong incentives to satisfy their own supporters .
However, Let those who will be the government lead basotho with fairness and intergrity
,whether be a Coalition or DC .We wish them the best and God Bless them.

Comment by Sdm Matjelo on 1 June 2012:
@Tsotsina and Mohatla oa Toeba ,I personally think and feel that coalitions are too much of a compromise and always lead to unstable governments (lesotho have so many political parties ask yourself why), as a consequence Lesotho can think of alternative forms of government the ; presidential System can be one but it has its own cons. It is very important for the political parties to moderate their ideas as there are no ready made formulas and easy elucidations and Answers to make coalitions work in a smooth manner.
Therefore , it is in best interest for all that political parties to build up a sense of understanding and do not play games of power politics and hatred politics. It is high time that the MPs realize how bad Lesotho fares on other economic variables in the world, and it is time they put their energy in improving those than just catering to their selfish ambitions .
Why there are so many political parties in Lesotho ?
Differing opinons about analysis have cloud issues and comparisons between alternatives, Members of other political parties tend to give up on a process if they feel it can’t be solved and they go an form their own. Confrontations have graduated to the degree of being too personal. It is never fun to be the object of someone else’s dislike .
Khotso Pula Nala
Next time lets discuss issues such as ,How to introduce change in the country that is in Crisis like lesotho? Why is it important for all parties to be part of a Coalition? why Dr Nelson Mandela Made PW de klerk his deputy President in 1994 ? Why did he give Dr Buthelizi an opportunity to be the Acting president in several occassions regardless of tension between IFP and ANC ?
lets change this forum and talk facts and reality ,Basotho ke batho ba khotso and we must stop insults ,and speak life .

Comment by Lefefooane on 2 June 2012:
The people of Lesotho could no longer tlerate a corrupt and nepotic regime so they choose change. In twenty years mmcd did nothing to this country except to sell our state assets to foreigners. He sold Lesotho National Development Bank, closed Lesotho Agricultural Development Bank, closed Basotho Canners, sold Lesotho flour mills, closed Lesotho Airways, closed Lesotho flying doctors services, closed Basotho pony trecking, sold our Telecommunication Coorporation, destroyed all the legacies we had.
Haesale ke ipotsa hore na motho o teng ea ka elang university ho ea ithuta maretlapuo, mareo, maetsi, liphafi etc when there are so many things to study. He even had no decency of declaring himself a professor when he knew very well he was not one. Lately I saw a big billboard declaring him a doctor of leadership. I stopped a minute and asked “so this man now has phd in leadership?”. I was told it was honourary. I was like blufff, bluff bluff. We have so many people with phds yet they never erect billboards advertising their qualifications. Even the cheif of Khanyane the late Morena Mako Moliboea was awarded an honourary doctrate in leadership yet he never erected a billboard. Motho o qalella o ipotsa bohlale ba motho ea joalo. Khelik!!!

Comment by Thaba-Telle on 2 June 2012:
@ Lefefooane
I have been to a couple of countries; I have never seen people who hate one another with a passion like Basotho. Pseudo-intellectuals like you are a menace to society. You can never with this kind of warped mind make peace and build society. What do you really benefit from this deep hatred for Mosisili that is so blatant every time you write about him? As they say, when you point a finger at someone, there’s three pointing back at you. You expose your mediocrity by making these kinds of elementary and uninformed arguments. You struggle yourself to string together comprehensible sentences in English, the very language, which, according to you is a marker of intelligence and intellectualism. In all countries around the world, native/home languages are studied up to the highest level. For your information, even in English-speaking countries such as the US and UK, students study foreign languages. There is absolutely nothing wrong with studying Sesotho up to the highest level. We actually need more people to study Sesotho and other African languages to help develop them as they face extinction from Afro-pessimists like you. We have to rediscover our roots and identity as Africans. Learn more and stop being pretentious, and you’ll appreciate ‘knowledges’ of other people.

Comment by Lefefooane on 4 June 2012:
@Thaba-Telle, I have never been good in languages. I have never even aspired to be good. Bare with me on this one. I do not hate mccd as aperson, rather I dislike any male person who goes to varsity to study languages, worst of all Sesotho. Boohle rea se tseba Sesotho without even needing a Phd in Sesotho. Re tseba maretlo puo, maele, liphafi, liemeli, mareo, so what? Kannete motho oa monna ha a tsoha e be o emellane le ho bala maele le ho etsa litsomo yet there are so many challenges we have. Ehlile ke tiile ha ke na ho lumellana le banna ba litelu ba elang university ho ea ithuta litsomo le maele. I tend to differ on this one. Like I said before, even English men who go to varsity to study nouns, adverbs, adjectives I will have a problem with. In general ke men should leave languages for women. I will hit hard on any male person who anticipates studying Sesotho at varsity.

Pros and Cons of coalitions
I Stand firm that that a coalition government is inefficient and ineffective ,and can not work in Lesotho , Basotho politicians are very augumentative and unable to solve their differences (that’s why we have so many political parties eminating from only two parties BNP and BCP).If u think Lesotho government ministers were corrupt ,u had never seen anything ,wait for coalition government , In some cases, it might also increase the risk of underhanded deals and increase corruption, because more politicians could be willing to make deals to get things accomplished. A coalition government also can have members who are very argumentative, even more so than other forms of government, simply because so much is at stake.
Despite these concerns, however, some people believe that a coalition government has the best opportunity to promote real issues and solve everyday problems. This is because the coalition government is seen by these people as the most accurate representation of the people’s will. Also, proponents believe that a coalition government can lead to greater unity because members of varying backgrounds and ideologies must come together and agree to create policies in the best interest of all but this will not work oily in Lesotho e.g Metsing and Mosisili failed to solve party problems as a consequence DC was born ,in 2006 Tom Thabane failed to solve their issues with LCD and ABC was Born , In 1997 The late Dr Ntsu mokhehle fought with BCP and they all failed to solve their differences as a result LCD was born ,this excludes divisions in small parties such as ABC and BNP .(Basotho re batho ba likhang and 5 years is more than enough )The only common thing that unites basotho parties now is that they don’t want the current government and looking for change ,Time will tell and I hope that Coalition will prove me wrong for the benefit of this nation of our father Moshoeshoe.
Nevertheless ,let us be positive and believe that God will Guide those who will be in charge ,lets cross our fingers and fix our believe into God and hope that one day Lesotho will be the best country in the southern Hemisphere .
In addition to long-standing coalitions, a coalition government also can be created at a time of national transition or crisis. In Iraq, for example, a coalition government was created in 2004 in an effort to bring the country together after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s government. In this example, various leaders from different religious sects and regions of the country were brought together in an attempt to create policies that would be regarded as beneficial to the Iraqi people as a whole, not just one particular group.
Examples of coalitions
Across Europe, coalition governments are taking a battering. In April, the Belgian coalition government collapsed after only five months. In the UK, just four months after forming its first coalition government in over 30 years, the ruling parties enter their annual conferences already on the defensive. In the Netherlands, three months after elections, the country is still waiting for a new government as coalition talks have stalled.
The Italian government run by Silvio Berlusconi is currently facing a serious political crisis. The new troubles originated from the growing conflict between the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the Chairman of the Chamber of Deputies Gianfranco Fini – the two founders of the majority Party of the People. The crisis led to the expulsion of Fini. His subsequent foundation of a new political movement, formed by several Members of Parliament, has eroded the support for the government in both Houses. In the last few months, the government has been paralysed by internal conflicts that have raised the uncertainty on the duration of the legislature. Our analysis shows that the economic costs of the present political instability are likely to be substantial (Manasse and Trigilia 2010).

Comment by Lefefooane on 5 June 2012:
To all clowns who think for one to be a minister of health one needs to have done MBchB, then it shows why Lesotho is so underdeveloped. So you mean only doctors can adnminister health policies? That is a joke. Ironically the very people never see anything wrong when we used to have a Sesotho language teacher being a prime minister. For one to be a minister, one needs only to understand and articulate party policies and be a good administrator irrespective of the course he studied.

I will say this again, hatred, bitterness, anger and war are not Lesotho’s future. We have a lot to learn from Rwanda, their horrible history is part of their past not their future, that is why it has become currently the praise of so many nations…..!!! Re basotho pele!!!
