Thabane off to meet Zuma
MASERU — Prime Minister Thomas Thabane yesterday left Maseru to meet with South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma, the Lesotho Times has learnt.
Although there was no official confirmation about the trip, a source within Thabane’s coalition government told this paper that the agenda of the meeting in Pretoria was to “discuss Lesotho’s relations with South Africa over the next five years”.
“The Prime Minister is meeting with President Jacob Zuma today in Pretoria to discuss working relations between Lesotho and South Africa,” the source said yesterday.
Thabane himself yesterday pulled out of an interview with this paper saying he had to travel out of the country.
When contacted for comment, the All Basotho Convention’s secretary general, Thabiso Lits’iba, declined to divulge the agenda of Thabane’s meeting with Zuma but said he was aware the premier had travelled to South Africa “because it’s an official visit”.
“I don’t know what he has gone to do in South Africa. I can’t comment on that one because it’s not a party visit. He has gone there on state business,” Lits’iba said.
Lits’iba then referred this paper government secretary Motlatsi Ramafole.
However, attempts by this paper to contact Ramafole proved futile as he was not available on his phone.
South Africa’s High Commissioner to Lesotho, Happy Mahlangu, also declined to comment on the agenda of the meeting saying he had not been “told about the meeting”.
“I don’t know what the agenda of the meeting is as I wasn’t told about it,” Mahlangu said.
Last weekend South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation issued a congratulatory statement to Thabane and undertook to enhance working relations between the two governments.
“The South African government congratulates the Kingdom of Lesotho Prime Minister, Mr Motsoahae Thomas Thabane,” the statement read.
“The South African government has noted the announcement of a coalition by a number of political parties which took part in the Lesotho national assembly elections held on May 26, 2012, leading to Mr Motsoahae Thomas Thabane being appointed as the new Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Lesotho.”
The statement also said that South Africa wished to extend its sincere congratulations to Thabane on his election adding the country wished to reaffirm its desire to further enhance its strong relations with Lesotho.
“Furthermore, the South African government reiterates its commitment to continue working with the government and the people of the Kingdom of Lesotho with a strong emphasis on devising mechanisms and processes to ensure rapid development in existing and new bilateral projects for the mutual benefit of the two countries,” the statement said.
“South Africa remains committed to regional integration and sees the Kingdom of Lesotho as a strategic partner in the pursuit of development as aligned with the principles of the African Union and NEPAD.”
Relations between Lesotho and South Africa were strained under the previous government after Pretoria tightened its borders two years ago. The new restrictions saw long queues at the Maseru border post.
During his election campaign Thabane promised to improve relations between Lesotho and its giant neighbour.

The congress movement ‘sell out’ named DJ Waters with his right-hand man Khotso Amandla must remind Basotho about Menepe’s ABC’s relations with Ramatlhodis and others in RSA.ABC being a social project,it is proper for its manager in Lesotho to go and report to the board as to how things went these past days.Amandla knows very well about this project and he can divulge if he likes.

Comment by Thabang on 14 June 2012:
Our new PM’s flexibility is another quality which will bring wonders to his administration if it is done in a timely manner. Both Basotho and South African were equally thirsty for regime-change in Lesotho, and it is not a secret that the ABC and ANC enjoyed cordial relations between each other. So maybe Bra Tom was paying a courtesy visit and be congratulated at the same time. However, it would be wrong for him to begin official negotiations with SA without the involvement of his Cabinet.

Comment by The Enlightened ONE on 14 June 2012:
Some of the comments in here are so ludicrous its flabbergasting! Its not about DC losing or ABC winning its about being patriotic and fighting for Lesotho’s sovereignity. You are so fixated that relations between South Africa are good for Lesotho. South Africa has its own unemployment and economic woes. What in the name of Jehova makes you think that, Msholozi and his fumbling cabinet who are also in a bitter power struggle have the best interest of Basotho at heart. Those that propose and support this relationship, probably work in RSA, pay taxes to SARS, and yet they cry about lesotho being poor when they dont give back. Come back home and fix the country before making ridiculous statements. There will always be a loser in agreements tsa Lesotho and RSA.
Comment by Young on 14 June 2012:
@Bahabile-kae…bonyane oena o bonts’a kutloisiso. You are right that it’s highly imperitive that the cabinet is set so that work can commence. But we have the coalation goverment and I’m sure that we need to be careful and not rush into having a cabinet which was not properly evaluated. We need to be vigilant and avoid encountering future problems within the coalation because of not be able to set up an effective gorverment ka labaka la ho tata feela.

this is a bad start indeed ,ntate tom u siea a country in limbo over the formation of an operational government and goes off to meet a foreign statesman without an official entourage.this shows great disrespect and lack of trust in people he chose to be in government in and to the Basotho nation who presented him an opportunity to govern in general. This is bitterly disappointing for a man who was once a foreign affairs minister,what is it that he is already hiding from the nation when he goes and conducts clandestine meetings like this,batho ba Molimo will this coalition government hold with such a terrible start.lilhoa lekhoara chuoooooo

Le rona ba RSA rea lapa ,re batla citizen ya lesotho and we also want the constitution to allow us to have dual citizenship,we also want to buy big fields and property in lesotho so is good for Tom 2 come this side so that we can be one country,UN will enforce lesotho to be incorporated to RSA ,whether they like it or not is gone be like that.
All Southern African countries will come under one state in the next 5 to 10 yrs from there African will be under one state and there will be new world order ,then anti christ will rule the entire world,but those who fear God will be raptured to heaven and all people living on earth will have 666 by force ,they did not like mccd because he was delaying .

Whether Tom succeeds or not, like him or not. Lesotho has freed itself from the autoctratic kleptocracy of Mccd and his hench men let by Haldi and Pontso in government – and MTN in the private sector. For me removing Mccd is more important than anything the electorate will ever do for this country.
Now Basotho know that assholes are removable from power by ballot.

There will be no free movement between Lesotho and RSA. We don’t have time for SA criminals to enter Lesotho freely and Lesotho criminals to cross into RSA freely. Ntate Thabane knows well that ANC govt rejected that request a long time ago. I hope Zuma will reject that request too, citizens of both countries must use their passports for entry into these two countries. We are not one country and we don’t want to be. I know Zuma will not allow this nonsense. We want to be protected in this country, as we don’t need to be humiliated by RSA criminals whilst we are sick and tired of Lesotho criminals. O tla khutla le se neng se mo isitse!!!
Comment by Young on 15 June 2012:
@Ke pana poho…Ke utloa litaba tsa hao ebile le nna Zuma ha kea mo nkela holimo. Feela the fact remains that we are highly dependent on SA whether being as a results of the work done by Maburu kapa ona Mazulu.
The point I’m trying to make is that we need to enchance our relations with SA and get the blessing of the their gorverment since SA does have impact in our every day lives. We need to engage them and put them in the loop if we want them to come to the party and assist in paving a way forward. At the same time we need to be proud of ourselves and our country, while at the same time avoiding the risk of tripping over our own ego.
Comment by Young on 15 June 2012:
@Ke pana poho…I’ve never suggested that SA needs no other countries to advance. I wouldn’t have even thought of that because I still mentioned that Lesotho sells water to SA. That’s a good demostration that there’s mutual dependency between the 2 countries.
If any kind of instability broke off in Lesotho who do you think Lesotho gorvement will approach first for assistance? Ha o fihla motseng kapa ntlong e ncha, hoa pele ke ho itsebisa bahaisaneng. Kapa ha o mosotho na?

am disgusted by the way Lesotho is piggy bagging behind SA with its own resources, take a look for example, SA population is way beyond ours probably close to China`s, soon we will be having 2 more dams but SA will still slap us at it an consume our electricity, right now electricity prices are sicknening, airtime has even become cheaper than Power, we are suffering just because we like being SA Sex Slaves, its time the new parliament got Lesotho head out of its butt and set up our plants at all the dams, there are many countries who will be willng to fund us at that, 5years is too long not to do that.
