Ministers, assistant ministers sworn in
MASERU –— Three new ministers and seven assistant ministers were sworn in at the Royal Palace on Monday.
The ministers took an oath of loyalty before King Letsie III.
The three ministers were appointed to the Senate by the King while the seven deputies were picked from the two houses of parliament, the Senate and the National Assembly.
Senator Chief Joang Molapo, the Basotho National Party (BNP) deputy leader, was appointed the new Home Affairs Minister replacing former deputy prime minister Lesao Lehohla.
Lehohla lost the Mafeteng constituency to the All Basotho Convention’s Temeki Tšolo.
Tšolo is now the Minister of Trade in the coalition government made up of the ABC, the BNP and the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD).
The coalition government is led by Thomas Thabane who has promised sweeping changes to tackle rampant corruption, joblessness and poverty.
Pinki Manamolela, a top medical practitioner who is a member of the ABC’s women’s league national executive, was appointed the new Minister of Health.
Manamolela replaced the Democratic Congress (DC)’s Dr Mphu Ramatlapeng.
Ramatlapeng lost the Peka constituency to the ABC’s Tlali Khasu who is now the Minister of Mines.
Mohlabi Tsekoa, the LCD’s deputy chairperson, was appointed Foreign Affairs Minister.
Tsekoa, who was the foreign affairs minister in the previous government led by Pakalitha Mosisili, was appointed to the Senate after he failed to win the Senqu constituency under the LCD banner in the May 26 election.
LCD youth league leader, Selibe Mochoboroane, was appointed Assistant Minister of Local Government and Chieftainship.
He deputises his boss in the LCD Mothetjoa Metsing.
Mochoboroane is the new MP for Thabana-Morena.
Dr Lucia Makoae, a BNP member, is the new AssistantMinister of health.
Dr Makoae is a former National University of Lesotho lecturer.
Another Senator, ’Malebitso Ralebitso, was appointed the Assistant Minister of Home Affairs.
Former trade unionist, S’khulumi Ntsoaole, who won the Mabote constituency under the ABC banner, is the new Assistant Minister of Trade.
Ntsoaole replaced the LCD’s Khotso Matla who is now the Minister of Forestry and Land Reclamation.
’Matšepo Ramakoae is the new Deputy Minister of Finance.
Mahala Molapo, an ABC member, is the new Deputy Minister of Agriculture while Apesi Ratšele was appointed the new education Assistant Minister.
The appointments bring the cabinet under the coalition government to 30 members. The previous government led by Mosisili had a total of 22 ministers and four assistant ministers.
Comment by Mathabi on 28 June 2012:
Mr Tsekoa again , i see more poverty
Comment by Love Lesotho First on 28 June 2012:
Poverty ea eng? Tsekoa is needed by the LCD team and the coalition Mathabi. He is a principled man who honestly speaks his mind at all levels especially in Cabinet. We need credibility here and he is the right man for us. Hape lona ma DC le mo hloile ebile lea mo ts’aba.
Comment by Mose-ho-Seaka on 28 June 2012:

Comment by LEKHOARA on 28 June 2012:
Lesothotimes! there has been an amendment to the Constitution to the effect that we now have “Deputy Ministers” not “Assistant Ministers” like it used to be, so please refrain from using the two terms interchangeably because they do not mean the same thing.
Comment by mju on 28 June 2012:
Caswell, why are you so casual guys, the last cabinet had only 23 ministerial posts. i.e 19 Ministers and 4 Assistant Ministers. You cannot even refer this from past posters. The coalition govt. is the most extravacant this country has seen. Needless to mention mediocrity and casual deployment of ministers. e.g. How on earth do you deploy two teachers on Trade & Industry ministry as the senior and junior ministers respectively? Na ehlile ke ‘nete hore Coalition ha e-na barutehi, kapa ba ts’aba ho kena mantloane? Ache banna!!!

Comment by mpegs on 28 June 2012:
@Mathabi, Mosebetsi oa Nt Tsekoa was not to look after the corrupt members of the previous cabinet who I think are the big players in the state of porvety in this country. The man is so principled and needed, have you sat down and analyesed how much foreing donations, grands, investments he had aquired during his office time? think about it and you will see that you r not right.
@ Mose ho seaka, we need to fairly distribute the work load so that people can perform, some of the ministries were so overloaded hence why they failed to produced instead became corrupt, there are so many ways to cut down the govt expenditure and trust me if this done well the whole scenario will balance out and you will be the happiest man eva.
Comment by Tiko on 28 June 2012:
@Tman ,they are old thats why they were given 5 years contracts so that when they are 60 they can retire ,and a contract is a legally binding agreement between 2 parties .
If a 55 years teacher is regarded as monna moholo what about a 73 years old president or Prime minister or minister ,tlohelang lehloeo basotho ,lets run our departments proffessionally.u cant have an employment contract and when u go to an ATM machine there is no money,Akhaaaaaaaa basotho we are unprofessional.
This is an embarrassment ,we are not running our departments professionally.

Comment by Lefefooane on 28 June 2012:
My worry is that our partners (LCD) are bringing the very tried and tested former minister who performed dismally in that old corrupt regime. I am a little bit disappointing. Anyway, I have hope that they will pull up their socks because the driver is a different one and there is high pressure for them to perform. Ntate Tsekoa should recall all the DC deployees from Lesotho embassies abroad. All those potoana guys should come home. We must close half of Lesotho foreign mission in particular the one in Malaysia because it was benefiting one man. We realy have no business having embassies all over the world. All of those guys at Lesotho embassies were Potona guys hence they have no business there. We need to deploy some ‘Block’ guys to embassies so that we have some stability in government.
Comment by Letsoara on 28 June 2012:
@pompong ,u are right mme mamosothoane will have to intervene as early as possible to deal with the matters of teachers who are not paid or else this will defile the record of her success as a minister,look at the issue of the books which were not in limpopo who it has affected the credibility of SA education Minister Angie Matshekga.
motho ea 55 yrs according to the constitution of lesotho can only retire voluntarily and qualifies to get lump sum and monthly pension,the right and legal age to retire is 65 years old.

Mr lefefoane that coalition will not work ,lcd and BNP or Abc will not work together ,u cant combine 0il and water.It was better if the government was abc or lcd or bnp .or coalition of abc and bnp .

@Tladi please note that even today almost half of teachers are still not being paid.We thought mamosotoana will deal intelligently with teachers matters bc she is a teacher by proffession but we are commencing to lose hope .She has just jumped into fokoti and nul leaving ,primaries and high school teachers hopeless without salaries.Where are we heading to.

Comment by Khatibe on 28 June 2012:
I am very disappointed with the slow rate of appointments taking place. When are the PS’s going to be appointed, remember those are the actual executers. Now we have a situation where Ma-DC are still put in strategic position which carry a very high reputational risk on our coalition government.
Look at the teacher’s salary thing: It’s not the minister who presses the button to pay the teachers, but she bares the full brunt of the criticism. We should put our people on all strategic places so that we know that the interest of the nation are well guarded.
All those people who were at the Ambasses who support DC we know them as the LCD and they must come back home, finish and Klar!!!!
Comment by Khatibe on 28 June 2012:
We have Ma-Dc and other lazy people out there, dragging their feet in the public sector, and the very people, start shouting how bad governance under coalition is. They forget this coalition is barely a month old and the structure which are in place are still to be credited to the DC government.
The full impact of the government will obviously be felt a few months from now after we have fired a few clowns who their intension is to undermine the voice of the people by sabotaging the government they elected into power.
Comment by Joang on 28 June 2012:
@khatibe ,pls highlight which strategic positions u are talking about ,do u mean if iam a dc supporter and director or manager or technical school such as nttc or fokoti i must be expelled ,e.g the woman who is a headmistress of a certain school in leribe she must step down because coalition is now in power ,Is this democracy? or oppression ,lesotho is going down the drain,if thats a principle.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeee111111111111 manasi 22222
Do u mean pple like Jomalet must come home from swizerland .No way ,hell will break loss.le ea re monela ha re le embassing .

@ Ramollo, Lona ma-Dc you think when a person stands for something strongly is because he is aiming at economic gains. Not all of us are opportunist.
Comment by top on 28 June 2012:
DC brothers and sisters people stood up to Ntate Mosisili when he was oppressing them and won against him,i suggest you do the same if u feel a bearly month old government of the people is oppression you do the same and stand up and be counted.
Comment by Khatibe on 28 June 2012:
@ Joang – by strategic posts i refer to all sensitive, high level political posts like bo li-PS and people at the embasses.
Now news flash, all past governments in Lesotho including your beloved DC did it before (but i know lintho lintle ha lietsoa ke lona). Have you ever wondered why when the DC was announcing its formation Li-PS were wearing DC regalia.
So get this through your head, I am not saying we should discriminate against civil servants, but where the position is high level and sensitive like LI-PS and bo Liembassy just to mention a few we should instate people who share the gaols and targets of that government at the time.
The government of the time is going to be judged on the bases of its actions during its rein, so it goes without being said that it must nominate the people who they believe are good enough to deliver the promises they made to the nation.
Li-embasy – Those people are there to maintain good relationships and paint a colourful picture of our country and goals with foreign countries. This helps to attract foreign direct investments, improve trade relations, donors, and tourist to mention a few. Now, we want to ensure that the people who are nominated in this sensitive posts are people the government trust will do a good job. The very government which will be judged harshly if it fails to secure trade lines, Foreign direct investors, attract tourist and so on.
So I maintain, the people we trust should be put in those strategic positions.

@Mju ,Apesi Ratsele is a leader of LCD in Mochechane No 1,Highly educated and dedicated ,he has good Background of Education and Agriculture as he worked as a Teacher in a school called Qholaqhoe H.S,We went to Overseas to further his studies.Therefore He deserves to be An Assistant Minister Of Education.

Comment by khaka on 30 June 2012:
@semenekane and khatibe taba ea lack of service delivery has nothing todo with the party u love lesotho must have the minister of performance management who must monitor why people do not perform the task ahead of tom Thabane is to give us what He Promised us as soon as posssible failure to give us excellent salaries will be his downfall ,please stop sowing division tell metsing to motivate us as he promised I am aloyal lcd supporter and I know why there is no service delivery,I never liked mccd but let’s face reality guys service delivery has nothing to do with party u love,again mccd is history why do we still insult them why can’t we attract them and show them love :honestly speaking iam not happy with the way lcd has performed in election ;we can not afford to rule via coalition ;as the party we re declining and abc is gaining more support :yes we are in power but we can not implent our manifesto ; according to me the parties that are still strong are dc and abc and we need to work intelligently to win people not hurting pple like we hammer dc one day we will need them bophelo ke lebili

Which political party has won the 2012 general elections in lesotho?if is dc they have have the right to challenge every decision we are not happy with if u think we are wrong then u don’t know democracy or the role of the official party,in the history of lesotho no opp party has won 41 constituencies and 7 district and all its members are not included in the governance ,which political party represent the majority of basotho?which political party has won lot of the lesotho district?that’s why we are talking democracy gives us the right to debate and reason every decision

Comment by Matjelo on 1 July 2012:
I really want to know How the coalition government will deal with the matter of service delivery ,Iam not talking about punishing pple when they dont perform ,iam talking of the strategic intervention not political one.
I thought Tom and the team would have the minister of performance Management ,and come up with motivational strategies in order to address the problem of poor service delivery and service quality.
This ministry will help us in Providing principled leadership and making the tough decisions that may be required to
deliver on our mandate. Strengthen our ability to co-operate across the three levels of government and work as a single delivery machine. Build a partnership between government and civil society so that we work together to Achieve our goal of a better life. Be completely transparent with each other. We must claim no easy victories , just tell the truth and build on what we have achieved. Recognize that there will always be limited funding and resources and yet be willing to commit to doing more with less and doing it on time. Develop a skilled and well motivated public service that is proud of what it does and receives full recognition for delivering better quality services.pple are demotivated yet highly educated as u promised Mr Thabane please adjust people`s salaries ena ke tsela ea ho hlola TLALA ke rata li ideas tsa hau ntate.Hobane o ile oa re bolella hore sera ke tlala joale re hloka meputso e metle ho loantsa tlala.
Why do we have the minister of forestry and Agriculture separately thats waist of cash – 1 ministry is enough .
Comment by Maru-mats'o on 1 July 2012:
It was easy for Tom to spew all the drivel and nonsensical stuff when he was in opposition. It’s a different ball game now that he is in power. Puso ha se papali. Tom owes us millions in lost revenue during stayaways, let him reduce the salaries of his ministers. It’s easier said than done. Let him fire VC, NUL willy-nilly as he promised, raise taxi fare, raise wages for factory workers, salaries for civili servants etc.

Comment by Lefefooane on 2 July 2012:
@Tamanisi, I think you confuse embassy deployees to civil servants. And until you learn the difference between a political appointment to a normal civil service appointment I will not argue with you on this matter. All the ambassodors and country diplomats are normally recalled home “to get a new mandate” when governments change. When it is a different government, “getting new mandate” is normally a pure recall. We will recall all the Lesotho ambassodors and “give them a new mandate” of the coallation government because they went ther on the LCD/Dc mandate. Hau monna, hare bana hle monna, we have always seen country diplomats being recalled when governments change or worst when they no longer support the agenda of the ruling party.
Comment by koena on 2 July 2012:

Comment by Lefefooane on 2 July 2012:
@semenekane, we all know that over 99% of the country diplomats were DC members. Ba ne ba bile basa ipate. Anyone whodoubts this my submission should log on to DC facebook page, just put a cursor on those people you will know who they are, where they are and their opinions. I am not saying it is wrong for anyone to be a DC member, rather I am saying the coallation should recall those potoana guys from Lesotho embassies abroard. Finally the coallation should cut the number ofLesotho foreign missions by half. We really have no business having an embassy in every country. Can you imagine we have a foreign mission in Asmara Eritrea? As for the Malasian embassy, it should be closed because that embassy was not even serving the interests of Lesotho, rather the interests of one ‘Doctor of Leadership’.
Comment by Lefefooane on 2 July 2012:
@Maru-mats’o, you decided to distort the ABC manifesto/promises on a number of issues. You even denied yourself an opportunity to come to ABC gatherings. Ha ke tsebe na litaba tsena tseo u li amahanyang le ntate Tom u ne u li utlooa kae hobane liboka tsa ABC were never shown on TV Lesotho. However I will take this opportunity to tell you some of what ABC preachings were:
1. NUL VC…….. ABC will make that incompitent/old/expensive(R140 00 pm) NUL to leave.
2. Factory workers wages………ABC will not increase factory workers wages, rahter it will ‘seriously’ engage the factory employers to pay to ‘basali ba litjale’ a living wage (minimum 2020)
3. Old age pension……. ABC will EITHER EITHER EITHER increase the old age pension OR OR OR decrease the age from 70 to maybe 60 years. NOT BOTH.
4. Corruption……………Kobotata ea Basotho e nena bobolu ho sa tsotellehe na bo etsoa ke mang.

Comment by Tsehla on 2 July 2012:
I am very worried by the way governments are appointing ministers and deputies. It looks like some ministers do not hold qualifications relevant to what the ministry entails. Furthermore, I have heard that some ministers do not have tertiary qualifications besides the COSC. How are they going to operate technical aspects/duties of their ministries.
Comment by Lefefooane on 2 July 2012:
@Tsehla, I remember the former minister of sports Nkhono Mathabiso Lepono had just done a mere form B at Mohale’s hoek high school yet she was appointed minister for ten years.
Comment by Lefefooane on 2 July 2012:
@Tamasini, I do not hate Indians as a people. Rather what I dislike is them being appointed ambassadors of Lesotho to foreign missions. I am sure there is no Mosotho who is an Indian ambassador so I find it disingeneous to appoint Indians to positions that can be held by locals. The same goes with Chinese, Nigerians etc.

Comment by Lefefooane on 4 July 2012:
@mju, you missed my point. I was merely responding to your opinion that for one to be a minister one therefore needs COSC. That is misinformation and disingenious of you. Our constitution stipulates that for one to be an MP one only needs to be able to read wnd write Sesotho and English. That being the case then, for one to be a minister, since ministers are appointed from parliament, then one only needs to be able to read and write.
Comment by Lefefooane on 4 July 2012:
@mju, as far as I know, there are no noentities our beloved coallation government. Cde Mophato Monyake (the minister of police) is a civil engineer. A postgraduate one for that matter. Dr. Manamolela of ABC is an MBchB holder. Me mamosthoane, I assume is a degree holder. Cde Edward Hae Phoofolo is a well known attorney. The deputy minister of health Dr. Makoae is a phd holder and not an honorary doctor like that other guy who used to rule Lesotho for 15 years. The list goes on and on. Besides, ABC is stuffed with the whole list of professionals. That is what makes the ABC different from you guys. If the ABC was to erect billboards in Maseru displaying all the ABC members who have Phds then hone ho sena moo re tla tsamaea. hence I so much objected to the idea of one fellow filling up the whole of Maseru with billboards of his doctorship as though he was the only one. Oooe hle bathong let us use billboards for whaty they are intended for other than displaying our qualifications on advertisement billboards. It even made me sick when that doctrate of that guy was a mere honorarily doctorate and not an academic one.
