Thabane refuses to move

MASERU — Prime Minister Thomas Thabane has refused to stay in a hotel while he waits for the State House to be renovated.

Thabane said he will stay in his modest house in Abia because “it will be unfair to make the poor people of this country pay huge hotel bills”.

“I am not going to go to the hotel for anything,” said the All Basotho Convention (ABC) leader who was sworn last Friday.

Thabane, 73, is leading a coalition government that includes the ABC, the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) and the Basotho National Party (BNP).

The three parties cobbled up the coalition after former prime minister Pakalitha Mosisili’s Democratic Congress (DC) failed to get a parliamentary majority to retain power.

Because the renovations at the State House are slightly behind schedule government officials had offered to book Thabane at Lesotho Sun, the country’s most elegant and expensive hotel.

Yesterday Thabane told the Lesotho Times that “Abia is my domicile and no one is going to persuade me to stay in a hotel.”

“I don’t think it’s necessary to go and stay in a hotel at the expense of the people’s coffers,” said Thabane.

“We have to walk the talk and if we are talking of cutting the government’s expenditure, it has to start with us.”

Thabane lives in a three-roomed house in Abia. His bedroom is an outside room on the other corner of the house.

The house was a milking shed he converted after his original home was burnt down in 1998.

In one corner of his bedroom sits three couches crammed together, drabbed in yellow and green covers.

In another corner is a double bed with a headboard.

His toiletries are perched on the side drawer on the left side of the bed.

Thabane uses a gas heater to warm his room.  Although he does have a television set Thabane rarely watches it because of his busy schedule.

Instead he spends most of his time going through the pile of documents on his narrow coffee table at the centre of the room.

The house itself is built of cheap blocks. Corrugated iron sheets make the roof.

To get to Thabane’s humble house you take a narrow tarred track off the Main South 1 road. After a two-minute drive you get to a ragged footpath that is so damaged that it threatens to damage even the suspension of a 4×4 truck.

That footpath takes you to a leaning gate that is never closed.

A pit latrine sits near the gate.

If you are looking for a manicured garden and a fountain with running water then you would have come to the wrong place.

A yard full of cobblestones and patches of drying lawn is what you get at the prime minister’s house.

In a previous interview Thabane described his house as a “comfortable home”.

“It has everything I want,” he said.

A green tent his bodyguards have pitched in the yard is the only thing that has changed at the house since its owner became the prime minister last week.

Thabane said this is not about to change because he is now the prime minister.

If he had agreed to move into Lesotho Sun Thabane would have probably occupied a M4 855 per night presidential suite at the hotel.

If a presidential suite was not available he would have been booked into a duplex suite that costs M3 140 per night.

His bodyguards would have been booked into standard rooms that cost M1 750 per night. The bill would have easily run into thousands of maloti in a few weeks.

Thabane said such a luxury would run contrary to his promises that his government will not be extravagant.

There are cheaper ways of doing things and staying in Abia is one of those, he said.

“I will not close that house. It’s my home. I know that there are people who won’t feel comfortable with coming to see me at the State House and I will take them to my place to make them feel comfortable,” Thabane said.

Thabane went on to say that people love mystifying life once one holds a better post in government and it’s wrong.

“I will be occupying that house because of the people who made me prime minister. So I will frequent my house as my position doesn’t make me any less a village man.”

  2. Khiliki! Ache! Re u khots’e moea Lekhoakhoa. Keep on

  3. Wow u ar trully something my PM,keep it up!

  4. This is cheap politics u ai Tom.It is pure stupidity to mislead unsuspecting people in this manner.It is practically unsafe to stay there ai Tom.Whether u like it or not u r no longer an ordinary village man u used to be.This shows tt u r a real prankster.

  5. “I don’t think it’s necessary to go and stay in a hotel at the expense of the people’s coffers,” said Thabane.

    “We have to walk the talk and if we are talking of cutting the government’s expenditure, it has to start with us.”

    Congratulations PM Thabane. This gesture indicates your intent to carry out your duties with careful thought as to the impact of your actions on Basotho. This is an excellent start to your term in office.

    I wish you God’s blessings

  6. “Thank you for what?” It is his duty to save the country’s moneys. If I read Scrutator coorectly, we should refrain from giving credit to people when they are doing their duties well. If that is the spirit to go by, therefore, I don’t think Tom deserves the kind of ululation the Basotho people are making about this issue. It is only ideal to do that. Much as it was ideal for Mosisili to relinquish power without resistance. Furthermore, Tom is not the first person to stay at his home while waiting for the renovation of the state house. The first phenomenon is the ululation. Perhaps it was not expected from the person of his ways.

  7. Good one, Lekhoakhoa.

  15. I always knew hore Ntate Tom is special, pele ea pele ntate, Molimo a o bolokele Lesotho le basotho. I wish all the Ministers will follow on your foot steps, ba tsebe hore Basotho pele.

  16. What a good start. The PM has now set a standard that he should maintain in the whole coming five years. Such humble gestures from one of the highest offices in this country is what we need to see after a long period of excessive and corrupt spending of public money by the previous regime. Basotho, let us be more vigilant than ever when it comes to government expenditure. We must ensure that this coalition government succeeds.

  17. it’s a shame that some people can be as small-minded as some of those who just commented. Thabane is the kind of man we have always wanted. Now this is modesty. If you cannot accept your home no matter how humble it may be, then you have a problem. The Malawian President Joyce Banda just sold the Presidential Jet as she felt it was not needed in a poor country like hers. Thumbs up to her and Thabane.

  18. If what your saying truly comes from your heart, I salute you, Molimo a u bolokele Basotho Tom Thabane

  19. @Mju…You are right when you say people should be hailed for fulfilling their normal duties. But one should be commended for going out of the ordinary, irrespective of whether they are still in the line of their duties or not.

    @Lethula MF…Playa Hater *singing*.

  20. Good start, we dont care what anyone says and remember first impressions last. Ha eseke ea eba Maholi a patileng Maeba.

  30. Sure if Obama reads this, he’s gonna scratch his feet ten times his fingers. Hae maan ntate Nkemeleeeeeee!

  31. Ntate Thabane eena all these years while he held such high positions in various governments what does he have to show for it? Le re chelete tsa sechaba li baballehile ka tlala e tje?

  32. good start ntate Thabane; we as Basotho need to maintain good relations with RSA, and RSA has had no problem with us, infact they always wanted to assist us from day one our brothers and sisters in the mines were offered dual citizenship but BCP government refused, (despite the fact that the same BCP government assisted PAC with funds for 1994 first democratic elections in RSA but did not assist the ANC) NUM offered projects for retired miners, as well as unclaimed pensions but the LCD government (Mosisili led LCD, not the new LCD)wanted the funds to be channeled through them of course NUM refused. Lately, Mosisili refused adamantly to meet ANC officials who were on a charm offensive to maintain good relations with ruling parties across Africa as a whole, SADC region in particular!

    That is a good start Lekhoakhoa, and do take enough time to decide on the cabinet with your colleagues in the coalition (Messrs Metsing, ‘Maseribane, others), Mosisisili took three to four weeks to annouce his cabinets after general elections, so you are on schedule especially when you promised to announce it this week, exactly a week after your inauguration.

    Pele ea pele Lekhoakhoa, u ts’oare joalo!

  33. In many instances, I do not subscribe to the Hounable Prime Minister’s political thoughts, but this is one step and move I wish to appaulde, sir, you are humble, a gentleman and a scholar. Big up to you.

  34. @Pontoki, We thank you on behalf of Ntate Nkemele for the wonderful words. He is indeed what you describe him. What you see is what you get.

  35. @Phalo…Ke utloa taba ea hao but I think that doesn’t apply much in this instance. Lesotho Sun ese e ntse e na le staff se pataloang khoeli e ngoe le e ngoe.I don’t think a few months stay would have created sustainable jobs that could be well equated to the money spend. In short, we need to optimise our gorverment expenditure with employment creation in the country.

    Again on the other hand you need to realise that the PM stay in a hotel doesn’t necessarily guarantee a high turnover in terms of the hotel’s revenue since some of its regular customers might detest the whole idea of having beefed up security measures at the hotel and therefore opt to spend their money elsewhere. Sustainale employment was created by refurbishing the state house for the PM already. Now he has decided to save the money which you’d have costed each individual mosotho with little or no returns.

  36. “I don’t think it’s necessary to go and stay in a hotel at the expense of the people’s coffers,” said Thabane

    Laaaa Chhaaabaaaa!!!!

  37. Exactly why I like this man. Oh my God, I feel so humbled by ntate Tom. Tsoara joalo Lekhoakhoa ‘me molimo a re bookele uena. La Chaba. Change has come.W waited too lng for such change to happen.

  38. @Matamong, ngoana monna ke utoa ke hloletsoe, ke feloa ke mantsoe. I feel so humbled by this old man. Ntate Nkemelehas always been my hero. From the time he scrapped that annual study pmit, to the time he shoul the foot soldiers in the hunting tracking down of that Makhoathi guy, to the tim he would allow odinary folks to visit him and laym their problems. Menyllo ene e ke ke ea lumela ho lula maha eoa. They could hav rushedand crowded that Lesotho sun wth family and friends all at our expenses. The former prime minister would hav acceped to stay i that hotel for a year ll under the ausicies of ‘rennovations’. That prime minister was always on the flight tourng the world for sweet nothing. Every three months he would always go o Malaysia. Nate Tommust find out if our taxes were not laundered to Malaysia. Kanne re lokela ho tseba na ke eng enae kana e neng e etsoa Malaysia. I bet w will get shocked La Chaaabaaa!!!

  39. Ntate Nkemele joale o bonts’a ba bacha hore na bosebeletsi keng, Basotho pele ho ntho tsohle; ha ba ke ba ithute ka bosebeletsi ba nke malebela. I so wish that all public servants may follow on your footsteps and together we take Lesotho our country from this detrimental situation to a better situation.

  40. @Lethula, ngoana monna tamo noa lipilisitsa stress. You are such a bitter moron. In fact youmst be one of thoe crrupt tenderpreneurs whoare now running for thei lives. Ntate Tom is here to stay. You better learn to accept. Sis.

  46. i will be honest. in the beginning i did not trust this man, based on the past things he did, but now i am humbled by his dream n efforts. i have never voted in my life but i believe in the next five years i will cast my vote to keep Mr. Thabane as my prime minister. he gives me no doubt that his fellow ministers are going to work hard for our beloved country and him as well. he is leading by example. what more do i need? i will forever be patriotic, serve my country and vote for the best leader. a shepherd doesnt walk in front of the cattle and gives them a whip for no good reason, he walks behind them and taps them to the right direction while he plays lesiba for his cattle graze beautifully. i respect my new Prime Minister. God bless you Ntate Thabane and your fellow Parties that formed our new government. Amen.

  47. He started wayback when he refused to use the 4K (Likhapha). This man is a marvel.

  88. hao kanthe Ntate Tom ha a hana ho lula Lesotho Sun he was opting instead for expensive hotels in Gauteng,banna so far from his people…..

  89. @Lethula, that is cheap of you using my name Lefefooane. Atleast everybody on this column will distinguish between the tru Lefefeooane and some clown calling himself Lefefooane. Just reading your comments Basotho will tell that it is not Lefefooane hence they will proceed to read my real comments. Ka bomalimabe hore you take Basotho so cheaply.You thing by merely calling yourself Lefefooane Basotho forumists will think “Lefefooane has changed alias crossed”. That is too cheap. It shows clearly hore molimo u timme bohlale.

  90. The time has come, things have changed,congratulations ntate Tom.

  91. Ntate Tom, it really shows why you returned that M3999 Mercedes benz. Kea bona hore ehlile ha u motho ea ratang injustioce in whatever its forms. Keep it up Ntate. Molimo a re bolokele Lekhoakhoa. Molimo a re bolke nate Nkemele, Molimo a re bolokele Ntate Makopo, molimo a re bolokele Ntate Thomas Motsoahaabia Thabane. La chaba.

  92. Surely we are not going to see cabinet ministers suddenly getting rich. Ntate Tomshould cut the number of laxarious cars from 4 to just two. A minister should just have two cars. This will happen and is not difficult for sure. Next, all those who benefited from shoddy deals like block farming should account. next all road construction tenders must be investigated. In particular we need to who benefited from those dodgy deals. How did it come that tsela ea Thaba tseka e ile ea nkoa ke likhohola. Boooohllle ba jeleng chelete ea litaemane ba bile ba e senya ka ho kuta litelu tsa bona lisalooning tse turu Sandton must account. Laaaaaa Chhhhaaaabbaaa!!!!!

  93. Ntate Tom should not be scared to fire all under performing ministers because indeed a bulk of those former ministers are sure to under perform. Let us wait for 90 days review.Ma LCD ke kopa le phahamise lieta hle banna re ntsetse Lesotho pele. Haele ena ea ho re tlisetsa bo ntatte Thahane ke koppa le e hlahlobe please. You guys can do better by bringing new blood like Ramakeoana (and not Litjobos).

  94. A QALA KA OTO LE SELE TOM. LIJO LE MA-CHINA CAN ONLY MEAN BOBOLU!

  95. Can’t you remember Julius Nyerere of Tanzania

  96. Ache nna ke utloa ntate a zama so hard 2 impress evry1……its nt abt luxury ke 4 safety……duh!!!!!!

  97. Thank you very much Lekhoakhoa , even those who left power unceremoniously will learn a lesson \ two here . We need people of your calibre . Please , instil the same culture into your cabinet . Basotho will be the winners .

  98. Kannete le chabile letsatsi. Mmopi re ea u leboha Ntate ka ho re fa moetapele ea nang le kutloelo bohloko le chebelo pele. Ts’oara joalo Ntate Tom.

  99. Rea leboha Lekhoakhoa. Mju ena a ilo itiela ha eba oa belaela.

  100. Well you have a good start. Ntate! How about cancel those workshop, seminar and meetings held by government people that take place in expensive hotel? The worst thing is that many of them disappear after lunch!! Yes DISAPPEAR and even not go back to their office!

  101. Hon PM,I salute u sir,they are few who can do this,if ever its real,it is done for the common good&think u r being moral&ethical!Once again,I salute u!!!

  102. First, I should applaud the new PM for being considerate in how to spend public money. However, I’m somehow puzzled because this is the same man who disrupted public life by calling stayaways from 2007 to 2010, thus costing the national fiscus millions of Maloti in lost revenue. He is the same man who wrote to MCA to stop funding Lesotho allenging that the country was undemoractic. Hypocracy of the highest order!

  103. Very good to hear such news. Glad he is thinking in terms of what the majority of the people earn in a day – M40, so that hotel room would be the same as 100 peoples’ wages for a day.

    Now let’s see what he does about his vehicle, and the misuse of Gov’t vehicles, especially on weekends. That’s another huge drain on the country’s resources.

    If satefy is a concern then all what’s required is to ante up the security by increasing a number of his bodyguards. That will still cost way less than the figures which Lesotho Sun are demanding.

    If what Thabane is doing is a front, at least it’s a kind of a front that will instill new culture in the gorvement.

  118. A lot of people who are down-playing Thabane’s decisions are people who are already of the opinion that Thabane has failed before he even started. This are most likely to be staunch supporters of the former PM.

    Forget about which side you are and frankly tell us what your response would’ve been if the headlines read as follows: “M6 000 per night accomodation for the new PM”

  119. This dude is so humble it hurts. Gives me more reasons to love him more, you cant talk about change without YOU being one. Big Ups Mr PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  120. @Thabo, indeed my brother those useless workshops should be cancelled. Rather we should be having seminars in which academics present their academic papers and research works. It always annoyed me how there was always the rush to host workshops, print t-shirts, etc yet the money could better be used somehow. Imagine how much it could have caused a taxpayer if Ntate Nkemele and his body guards would have moved to Lesotho sun. A whooping R12 000 per night for about 30 days wold have cost us close to half a million.

  121. I understand even president Obama is shocked about an African prime minister who would stay in a three roomed house when there is a four star hotel available. Obama even called Thabane for the second time in this week to assure him of his support. This man has made headlines. It is unheard of what he has done. Le ‘na ke ntse ke ipotsa hore na ke ‘nete taba tsena tsa nate Thabane. If so, kannete ke mo khotse moea monna eno.

  129. we r very thankful for what Ntate Thabane did,and just hoping that he is not buying ppl faces as if he cares for public funds yet he is not.Iam saying this bz ppl will recall that in 2007,de Ntate Thabane was amongs de first gvt officials to recieve and registered luxury gvt cars at lowest price of M4 000.00 and later turned down that offer after he realised that public was against that deal even though he was initially part of it when it started.we further hope that if he intends to call for an audit into gvt funds by de previous gvts,that will include de gvt whc he was a member to so as pove that he has clean hands.

  149. Whether he pretends to be a new messiah, Thabane is an opportunist, who would stop at nothing to get power and influence. He destablised the country from day one after the 2007 elections until the last day before he assended to the highest office in the land. He manipulated his way into power by hook and crook. He is responsible for huge losses of revenue through unnecessary stayaways that he was a mastermind of, and he personally commanded. This is payback time for him. The best he could do to repay Basotho is to cut his salary and those of his ministers to reduce the debt. A new fleet Lesotho National Bus Service buses had to be procured to countered his weapon of choice – stayaways which were ruining Lesotho’s fragile economy. He is unprincipled sellout. He called SADC complaining about the allocation of seats and was crying all the time. What kind of a partriot is that?
