‘I gave up power to avert bloodbath’
MASERU — Former Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili says he gave up power to avert a bloodbath and protect democracy.
Mosisili made the remarks while addressing his Democratic Congress (DC) supporters at a rally in Ha Mabote to explain why his party could not form government after winning 48 seats in the May 26 election.
This was the first public comment by Mosisili since he handed over the reins to Prime Minister Thomas Thabane last month.
Mosisili who steered the ship of state for almost 15 years said he decided to cede power to the coalition government “for the preservation and protection of democracy, Basotho and the country’s economy”.
“For these reasons, I advised the DC executive committee that it would be wise to pass the baton of governance to the coalition government,” Mosisili said.
“We chose to hand over the reins of power to the tripartite coalition to avoid bloodshed while we go back to the public that voted for us to thank them for their immeasurable support.”
The DC won 48 seats in the 120-member parliament while Thabane’s All Basotho Convention (ABC) won 30 seats.
The former ruling Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) won 26 seats while the Basotho National Party (BNP) got five seats.
But with no party winning the required 61 seats to form government, the ABC, LCD and BNP quickly announced that they had cobbled a coalition deal.
Mosisili however insisted that as the winner, the DC should have been afforded the first opportunity to form a government instead of the ABC, LCD and BNP cobbling up their numbers “to push us aside”.
“The party which had won the election should have been allowed to form a government instead of the losers announcing to the King that they had formed a coalition,” Mosisili said.
“Let’s take England as an example. David Cameron’s Conservative Party won the election but did not garner enough numbers to form a government on its own. The party was given first priority to court coalition partners, a reflection of respect for the people’s vote.”
He said the coalition hijacked the public vote to form government.
“The losers ganged up against the winner to hijack the public vote and form a coalition,” Mosisili said.
“There is nothing wrong with the formation of a coalition government. But there’s a whole lot wrong with it if it’s formed solely to hijack the people’s vote. God would never bless such a union.”
Mosisili told his supporters at the rally in Ha Mabote that “there’s really no need for you to bow your heads in shame because in actual fact the DC won the May 26 election”.
Mosisili added that his party had resolved to be a fierce opposition “for people who have no legitimacy”.
“We’re going to give them a hard time because we will have a shadow minister for every ministry and attack from all corners,” Mosisili said.
He added that supporters of the congress movement would never forgive the LCD for giving the ABC and BNP parties which he said were of the nationalist ideology “the opportunity to govern Lesotho”.
“We always thought that members of the congress movement were steadfast in their support, but now the LCD has merged with the enemy to fight us,” Mosisili said.
“At least Basotho can today differentiate between genuine and fake congress supporters. What has happened should teach and convince us that democracy in Lesotho has enemies: they are still there, they haven’t given up.”
In response to Mosisili’s attack, the LCD secretary general Keketso Rantšo described the former premier’s statements as “merely words from a disillusioned and heartbroken man” because her party refused to merge with the DC to form a coalition.
“He’s a bitter man because we refused to form a coalition with the DC. We’d never have agreed to work with them because they are a bunch of dishonest and untrustworthy people,” Rantšo said.
“They also enslaved and hurt LCD supporters while also sowing divisions in the party for a very long time.”
Rantšo said their coalition with the ABC and BNP was by God’s design and it was shocking to hear Mosisili accusing them of undermining the congress movement “by working with nationalists”.
“It’s quite shocking to hear him say that because the LCD worked harmoniously with nationalists for years and never for once did he complain,” Rantšo said.
“For him to look down on the coalition is tantamount to insulting and undermining that which was decided by God. It was by God’s design that Lesotho would have a coalition government after the May 26 elections.”
“He’s talking ancient politics and very unfortunately for him, they don’t have a place in today’s society,” Rantšo said.

Moqhobi oa koloi ea Ntate Mosisili please drive the vehicle towards Makoanyane Barrack, and when you around that area please ask for a mental hospital around. You appear to be driving around lehlanya la high value around. You are driving a man who committed political suicide by failing to stop factionalism within a party he led, but instead joined Lija Mollo faction, and consequently worked towards losing elections. The results of his actions worked towards benefiting ABC, and it was only a desire of all people he hurt that they ganged up against his cheap politics that he is out in the streets today, and he goes around blaming LCD for his delinquent deeds. He also had opportunity to form a government, but due to his cheap character everyone ran away from hi. If he feels cheated its time to start working towards re-election. He will rightfully feel how it is, to work towards re-election without abusing state resources. He should first have a mental checkup to ensure that he is okay upstairs, otherwise his bunch will not be aware that they are following a lunatic around.

Well said Keketso Rants’o. Mr MCCD had his time and he should now stop talking cheap politics. When he said he relinquished power to avert bloodbath, what options did he have? To use Kamoli and his other brainless followers to go on a killing rampage? I never thought even for a second that you had changed whilst trying to fool the world in making them you are the kindest man in Africa during the innaguration of Tom Thabane. To me, you are the same old Prof who never cared about Basotho but your family and close friends. Who are you after all to decide what God should do to other people because I believe you are the most arrogant man ever to rule Lesotho. Thanks for vacating the PM seat. I wish you well in your future endeavors.

Truth be told for the benefit of peace loving Basotho.The nazists and their allies were more than ready to destroy Lesotho for good.Even if LCD(neo-nazists II) had agreed to form a coalition with DC(congress movement) they would still carry out that destructive mission.I am therefore proud of my leader,ntate Pakalitha Mosisili no matter what the nazists say or do.’Nete ke thebe sechaba ke poho.

Ntate Mosisili o hlokela sechaba SA Basotho toka Kannete , maobane Mona he was saying ‘khang sala mo’ today he is saying jhang ha re ferehane. When he decided to to leave LCD didn’t he think he is creating a situation of instability? He himself is saying there are no ideological differences between himself and LCD he would still be leader of an LCD in power now he is not leader of the country and he is crying foul. Ntate Mosisili please please rea o rapela mohlomphehi lumella Ntate Molimo a kene Pelong ea hao. Please accept a majority of the people of Lesotho through their representatives see what they have decided through the ballot box. Democracy is unfair at times you know that well. Please focus on forming a democrative party in DC and prepare for the next election. May god bless u and give you strength to accept the will of the people.Amen

This Mosisili fool is a complete lunatic and this country has done brilliantly to rid itself of dinasaurs like him. he belongs to the dark ages not in the current era. does he think he and his congress of fools have been annointed by God to rule Lesotho forever? He must go and jump into the Katse Dam and drown. we don’t need him. good riddance to bad rubbish!
Comment by BKC on 5 July 2012:
This is a democratic state in which freedom of expression reigns supreme, therefore, it falls within Mosisili’s democartic rights to address his supporters as he has done.
Let us not be misguided by other issues in his address but focus on the real issues-what should have happened during the formation of a new government is not an issue but what remains an issue is how they mean to become an effective opposition in parliament. I am a Mosotho Man with no interest in who is in the power seat but whose interest lie with politics that would develop the Basotho. The fact that Mosisili has clearly said they will be having a shadow cabinet, as an opposition strategy in parliament is a new thing and the coalition government needs to be on its’ toes because the proposed opposition strategy is going to leave no room for complacency!
The greatest challenge for the coalition government is now to start defining the kind of change they would work towards and agree on it as a governemnt of coalition parties.
Their inability to start defining the kind of change they would like to realize shall otherwise become their ‘heel of Achilles’! They need to realize that they are dealing with an experienced oppoistion here that is not going to spend its’ term lamenting power loss but will be engaging the new govrnment from all angles.
At the centre of all this, what is important is that where all managed the current parliament is likely to bring about developmental results that have never been realized before.
Let us hope that this parliament becomes well managed and does not become a mockery of the hopes of the Basotho People!

@BKC freedom of expression like every other right had its own limitation,if someone incites instability and anarchy there has to be a shock and disgust at that at the very least at best the authorities have to do something about it,what ntate Mosisili is doing through his out bursts is denying this nation peace and stability.
The real issues he is supposedly to have brought up during his outburst pale into insignificance and its a pity because that all we are going to hear from his future statements.
Ntate Mosisili has had 15years of on the whole failed leadership that at one point took this country to the brink of collapse and anarchy, he has felt how difficult it is to lead under such trying conditions why cant he adopt God’s will and accept the situation as he led us to believe he would at the inauguration speech.
The coalition government has had hardly a month to ‘govern’ and i think its disingenuous of him to start saying they are failing, why do People like Ntate Mosisisli have to be given 15years to prove themselves and yet mere mortals like Thabane, Metsing and the team be allowed hardly a month,they deserve at-least a reasonable time to prove themselves its only fair that way,is it too much to ask to be given a 100 days to settle and start running the country.WE are all bana ba Lesotho le Molimo and we dont deserve what ntate Mosisili is wishing on this nation we have been through so much as a nation please i beg you Ma DC a matle Lesotho le deserver some stability ,there are courts and SADC and other bodies to put your case forward not to incite so much hate and ultimately anarchy.NTATE MOSISISLI REA O RAPELA HLE……

Comment by Lefefooane on 5 July 2012:
I am often wrongly accussed by potoana guys of ‘hating’ mccd. I never hate this guy as a person, rather I dislike his dishonesty. He is the most dishonest person I have come across. Instead of Size2 telling his supporters that section 87(2) of Lesotho constitution allows for the coalltion of political parties to fo rm a government, he decided to mislead the p[oor souls of Potoana supporters. He unashamadely, and purposely so, decided not to tell them that the state coucil (of which he was part of) forwarded the name of Tom Thabane to the king for Thabane to form a government as per section 87(2)of our constitution. He claims that they should have been allowed to form a goverment. Ke mang ea ileng a ba hanela? I have never known of anyone refusing when DC and mccd tried to form a coallation. O leshano. No one disalloed him to form a coallation government. If so, did he say who that person was. nxa. Poor loser.

Comment by Senqu on 5 July 2012:
I have personally made peace with the low-mindedness and cheap politicking by some commentators on this forum. I have accepted that it’s in the nature of some ‘(mis)educated’ Basotho to hate with a passion, which is a direct opposite of our disadvantaged folk most of whom are in the rural areas, who are far more tolerant and able to coexist and collaborate in their survival challenges despite their political differences. Bottom-line, Mosisili is a politician and a political leader, whose party polled the most votes in the last elections. He owes it to his supporters to explain why they failed to form a government despite the fact that DC won. For the uninitiated, Johnny-come-lately, DC, with Pakalitha as the face of the party, is charting a new political path, looking beyond the present. Aside from the fact that he is a political leader, he is exercising his constitutional and democratic right of freedom of association and expression as a citizen of the country. So, by holding rallies and making political noise, he is acting within his rights. If the enjoyment of his right angers you, it’s your own business sadly, and other like-minded haters.

Comment by Lefefooane on 5 July 2012:
Size 2 is correct that DC won the elections. However he missed the very fundemental point as to why we go elections. We go to elections not to win them but rather to form government. The ultimate goal of an election is to form government. Failure to form government is tuntamount to having lost elections. The ultimate result of elections is forming government ntate tichere ea Sesotho. Pheletso ea likhetho ke ho theha puso morena oa ka. Ke kopa o anohele hore lehoja o ne o hlotse likhetho ka 39.4% ba bang ba etsang 60.6% of the votes decided to form government.

Comment by Lefefooane on 5 July 2012:
To avert blood? What blood? nxa. When size 2 had the oppotunity to avert lose of blood in 1998 he never did. Ironically when there was no emminent lose of blood poor size 2 claims to have averted lose of blood. For a long time doubted the intelligence quotient of this man. No wonder he decided to study Sesotho at varsity when there all other courses he would study.

@ oa senqu morena oaka ea khabane Ntate Mosisis is inciting arnarchy and hatred perioid he is in no way exercising his right to freedom of expression,those right have limitations and he as a responsible leader show be aware of those limitations under the constitution.
Ntate Mosisili has instilled so much hate and diferences in the minds of the rural folks.
Go to your senqu constituency and many other rural constituencies and see how much hate and fear Ntate Mosisili and his team were planting in peoples minds,people where being told in no uncertain terms that should they fail to put DC into power their livelihoods would be ruined forever.A book with a list of people who promised a vote was being taken from house to house as a book of life,a book that will take those people to better opportunities and everyone else who could not vouch to support him had their names written down and told he will be dealt with after the election.I don’t know what u mean by saying people in the rural areas don’t hold the same hatred that the majority of voters have for DC and its practices.I am of Rural soil and i see what hatred and damage the formation of DC and its un-godly practices to garner votes have done to our struggling brothers and sisters in the rural areas.Ntate Mosisili has recently been nothing close to a curse on our beloved country,and yes i say that with a shameful but a clear heart and mind,he is a curse upon Lesotho….

Comment by Tsehla on 5 July 2012:
I wonder if DC will ever come back again and form a government. Some political parties that stepped down never made it to become government. This is true with some political parties like BNP and BCP. DC was using public resources to gain political popularity, and it would be difficult for them to transport people from far places to their rallies especially in Maseru. We remember the incidence when DC hired all buses in the country for their supporters only to disadvantage supporters of other parties to attend rallies. It is now time for the coalition government to make their name and become popular among the Basotho nation. We know that DC was using some social safety nets like old age pensions and one of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, “Access to Primary Education by all children at primary level by the year 2015″ as a political campaign. It is now a high time that the coalition government also take advantage of these. But they should not misuse them because that might result to their collapse. If coalition government can make its name very well in the next four or five years DC will not even win a single constituency in the country. This means that, ABC, LCD and BNP should work hard in their ministries. This is because in the 2017 elections, each and every party will be on its own. This is a good chance for BNP to win some constituencies.

Let’s not waste our valuable breath on this man. He is a sore loser. That what he is. The politics of hatred and marginalisation along party lines no longer have a place in Lesotho. Wake up and smell coffee Mr.Mosisili. You are the author of your own downfall. Under your reign as the Prime Minister of Lesotho you deflowered Basotho of their pride and dignity and turned Lesotho into pariah state that went from one country to another with a begging bowl. Ntate Mosisili lacks a moral high ground to comment about how others perform because they, themselves, were incompetent and compounded their incompetence with a sickening arrogance. Shame on him!

Comment by Concerned on 5 July 2012:
“Let’s take England as an example. David Cameron’s Conservative Party won the election but did not garner enough numbers to form a government on its own. The party was given first priority to court coalition partners, a reflection of respect for the people’s vote.”
Ntate Mosisili (as a Former Prime Minister), I am sorry to say to you that you are lying with this statement. Who do you think you are bashing lies like these in the faces of Basotho?
Gordon Brown was a sitting Prime Minister when the Labour Party Government lost those elections narrowly, and David Cameron’s Conservative Party did not win them outrightly too, meaning, there was a hung parliament. Gordon Brown as given a chance to form government with the Liberal Democrats, however, they refused, and he had to make way by resigning, clearing way for David Cameron to form his own government with Liberal Democrats.
The same scenario applied here locally. Ntate Moleleki kept on saying that “o ntse a fereha”, and as a sitting interim Prime Minister during transition, your party was afforded that opportunity whilst you were in power, and you failed to convince no one except for Ntate Ramathebane’s Party.. STOP LYING TO THE NATION NTATE PLEASE..

Comment by Tsehla on 5 July 2012:
It was time for DC to relinquish power to another party. This is because of the fact that DC failed do deliver for the public. There is no point that Lesotho is still dependent on food sourced elsewhere. The former government failed to ensure food security through production among the poor households, instead, the former government declared the state of emergency on hunger. If government cannot ensure that citizens have access to food, shelter, employment and other economic and social services, that government has failed. There is no point that Lesotho received food donations from some poor countries like Malawi when we have the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security. There is also no point that farmers in Lesotho produce only for subsistence purposes when government has to assist them with farming facilities and so that they can engage in expanded commodity production for the market. It is a shame that Basotho are still considered a cheap labour to South African mines, plantations and farms if the DC government was serious about reducing poverty and creating employment opportunities in the country. Now migrant labourers are facing high retrenchment rate, and labour migration has taken a new phase, women from Lesotho are migrating in large numbers to work illegally as domestic workers in South Africa. These economic and social issues have to be solved by the government because citizens have entrusted them with power to solve their problems. We have been dependent on South Africa for variety of things for a long time. It is a shame that Basotho still import agricultural commodities like cabbage, carrots, potatoes and others from SA when we have flowing rivers but irrigation facilities are not sold to the potential farmers but to the elites. In this way I consider DC to have failed, and it was proper for them to give another ruler a chance.

He says he has members who have been ministers and he will chase the coalition government in every coner!END OF DC.people who elected him will be his enemies. BE CAREFULL OF WHAT YOU SAY MCCD. u seke wa jala pherekano sechabeng ntate.enjoy opposition side please.
Comment by Tsehla on 5 July 2012:
@Mokhomotsane!! I wondered what DC has done so far that we can point. The previous developments were done by LCD not DC. After all, I can assure you, DC will never come back and be government, where is BCP?? They are fighting for property and less interested in politics. DC was using the public means to campaign, this time those facilities will be used by ABC, LCD and BNP. They will now revert to the private radio stations for campaigning eventhough they were against them during their reign.
Comment by Tsehla on 5 July 2012:
@Mokhomotsane, DC will never win the lowlands constituencies. The civil people know what they want from government, whereas people in the rural areas think that old age pensions and free primary education are the DC properties. I there must be two prime ministers in Lesotho, for the Lowlands and Highlands, definitely DC will govern in the Highlands.

Comment by voicetruth on 5 July 2012:
Ntate Mosisili’s utterances are misguided, unfortunate and dangerous to our future Democracy. In as much as it is his democratic right to speechify like any other bitter man, as a former PM he still has a lot of influence in our socio-democratic space and should stop trying to indoctrinate into us the mentality that Democracy can be willy-nilly averted, when its convinient to powerful individuals.
We don’t see the basis for him to proclaim that he left power by sheer will or choice. That is an insult to Democracy. DC simply had no choice except may be bribing some members of the military into some kind of a coup, using his ill-gotten wealth. Apart from that, Mosisili is just lying to his gullible supporters that he has some kind of super-natural powers that could have kept him in office which he certainly doesn’t have.
We all know that the reason Mosisili formed DC and subsequently stole power from LCD was because he could not imagine himself out of office. His former party had made it clear, it was time up Ntate; and he could not stomach that.
Ntate; you lost; you lost. No one stopped you from forming alliance with anyone. Even dishing millions to individuals wouldn’t serve you. Accept and move on’ and be credible opposition as you promised in your farewell speech.
Comment by LEO-TY on 5 July 2012:
Mosisili have got a democratic right to express his opinion as liars \ truth , but does not have a right to threaten a country’s stability . HE MUST NOT REPEAT MISTAKES OF HIS PREDESSOR NTSU MOKHEHLE OTHERWISE he will find himself facing the same predicament . We still want him to be investigated by DCEO . We do not hate with passion as Senqu believes , but want to know the truth .

Comment by Senzo on 5 July 2012:
I respect the old man Pakalitha for having behaved like a true statesman. I must admit, he behaved well after losing the 2012 elections. He lost, and that’s the truth, he was the best loser of all, that’s the truth. He had time to court the other parties to form a coalition. he dismally failed. That is always the case with emperors, they do not realise when they are naked. Only the gullible will imbibe the trash that came out of his mouth when he addressed the pitiful DC members recently, and by saying what he said, he immediately wiped off the good will that the nation has shown him.
With falsehoods and disregard for the stability of the country, he puts himself in a very precarious position. Here is a man who has done a lot for the country, but greed has overpowered his imagination and he looks and sounds more like an imbecile. Pathetic. Who the hell is his adviser – he deserves a long term jail sentence for misguiding this old man. If I were him, I would gladly shut my baritone and disappear quietly, look after my grand kids, retire from politics and leave the younger ones to try and revive the DC which died the day it failed to form the government.
If he wants to be taken seriously, it is time he set a good example by being professional and becoming a powerful opposition in parliament, but it does seem that bitterness has reared its ugly head and blinded his vision. If he had any. A man who presides on a party that disintegrates on every five years is not worthy of being taken seriously. he is damn weak – a bloody weakling who simply became lucky for inadvertently inheriting leadership from a senile leader on his deathbed. Just a lucky man. Not anything to write home about. Now that his luck has run out after stealing LCD government and ensuring that Mokhehle’s party splits further, he should just sit down and shut the hell up. The ruling coalition will be stupid if it will sit about and watch the DC set an agenda by busying them with wild stories and wild goose chases. Coalition should show that they are a Government.
They must go out into the rural areas and systematically expose the DC lie. Improve the lot of the people, and like they used to do, never invite their MPs when you engage with the locals. The locals must see that the coalition lives and is capable. DC came yesterday, and it is the duty of coalition to send it to a permanent sleep. DC is a party of thieves and arrogant peasants who by sheer luck and chicanery made good. They must be put where they belong, ke balisana ba hlalifisitsoeng ke teropo feela tjena (ntle le Mahaletere, eena ke tsotsi ea Maseru).
They must never be forgiven for burning and hiding LCD stationary and membership cards in many constituencies and telling lies that LCD had expelled Mosisili whilst they were the ones who wanted to force other LCD leaders to leave, when that failed, they stole the government with assistance from that tomboy (mampenyana), the former speaker – one arrogant ass. The days of largess are over (liphallelo (tse neng ese tsa chelete ea hau)tsa li khutsana li tlo fanoa ke babang joale). Hloahloeng is going back to LCD, whether the “Speaker” likes it or not.
There is absolutely no difference between NIP and BNP – both nationalists. But in desperation when DC fails to court BNP and or ABC, they bring back the ghosts of the past…sis. Phooo. Ntho e mpe e ea ts’oeloa. Just go and be “fierce” opposition and stop misdirecting yourselves and the gullible country bumpkins.

Comment by tlotlisang on 6 July 2012:
I personally see nothing wrong with keeping national and congress separated as Dr. Mccd does because this is about ideology not personalities as some of you guys seem to think he has some hatred. Not unless ideologies matter no more! This is about the way of thinking, how a certain political party think about democracy or governance. It is true that ABC, BNP ideologies are different from congress ideology. That difference may become a challenge for coalition such that a lot of time may be spent trying to bring those different understandings together. I tell you, if this is no more about ideology, it will not last. This is the spirit of DC leader’s speech. It is also true that LCD and DC as congress movements, share the same philosophy.Their differences is only personalities of which if people were to rise above them, they could easily work together. This is the spirit.

Comment by pit on 6 July 2012:
@tlotlisang Ntate Mosisili is talking ideology today but when he left LCD ideology was the last thing on his mind so I fail to understand how ideology is al of a sudden so important to him. If it was all about ideology LCD would still be intact, when he was shouting explitives from the top of Kunene’s tent he did not see the need to look at ideology. Now that he wants to distabilise the country ideology is at the forefront,cummon now. He must just go open Zhar Qhacha and stay there and leave our country peaceful….
Comment by Bohla on 6 July 2012:
Tlotlisang, whilst I agree with you about the importance ideological differences, can one describe the difference between the ideological difference between congress and nationalist parties in Lesotho? How does one bring the importance of the other to the modern Lesotho apart form the fact that BNP historically killed and maimed congress members?
We need people who can truthfully bring about that difference. The two still support chieftainship, they want to get rid of poverty, they want Lesotho to develop. Even the founder of BNP was a congress man himself. One should also be reminded of how BNP came into being. Do those dynamics exist in present Lesotho, or should BNP go back to Congress where it originates? Nationalists in RSA saw it fit to disband and join either ANC and or DA. If a truth commission had been constituted in Lesotho to exocise the demons of 1970 era people would have closure. That is what is needed. DC leader is not helping by demonising nationalists when it suits him. It just shows ideological bankruptsy on his part and to justify the immoral existence of DC. He is not a custodian of congress ideology. He was, like most of us, the victim of BNP atrocitities of 1970. However, that is history which the new generation is not interested in. Please explain the-so-called ideological difference between congress and nationalist.

Basotho ba khabane, the former PM says “We’re going to give them a hard time because we will have a shadow minister for every ministry and attack from all corners,”. Let us not stop praying to cast away this evil spirits that today he says will be in every ministry to attack from every corners. The devil can air his words as if it’s just words all to find that he really means it. May God open our eyes on this statement and act accordingly through strong prayers. It is true that where evil spirits are,there is no success as his work is to be against everything good. Basotho as we prayed before elections, likewise let us keep on praying for the peace of our country. He further reiterates that he gave up power to avert a bloodbath and protect democracy. Basotho, do not forget that satan and his followers live by blood. Cast away this demonic statements through strong prayers, I plea you. But the devil is aliar he can’t get over Basotho people.

@LEO-TY,DCEO must investigate all the political parties’ leaders starting from the BNP regime’s leaders, Army government leaders upto the congress parties leaders to date. They are all corrupt. No one has been on power in every government here is clean. We want all of them to be investigated and prosecuted if necessary. Even some who are ministers in this ABC LCD BNP coalition govt and those who were ministers in the past governments are not clean at all. One of this coalition govt minister has done a fraud at LEPSA and then got fired from that association. Some of the ministers of coalition are fraudsters but didn’t get prosecuted. Being coalition officials doesn’t mean you are clean as most of ABC BNP people think and trying to convince us.
When will this coalition govt deliver services to poor people, while we just hear them focusing on accusing the previous govt? We are no more interested to the previous govt but we looked forward to the present govt to bring changes as they had promised and deliver services to the nation. You are just making noise about Mosisili’s mismanagement and corruption whilst we want to receive service delivery from you. We are no more interested to hear about Mosisili’s incompetence now, we want to see competent people implementing changes that they had promised the nation. Period!!!

Step down peacefully is a good decision, you will have a very good reputation in the history. If same condition happen in future, the party can not get majority victory in election also have to step down if fail to make a coalition government. You make a very unique example.

Which is the biggest political party in lesotho?which political party represent majority of basotho?which political party have won majority of lesotho districts? Let all men be liars and lord be the truth,is this party abc,lcd,bnp,if nön of these parties represent the majority of basotho ,they are illegal! Letsie hates us largely in 1993 he removed dr mokhehle and formed coalition led by nationalist thats where phoofolo was pm,dc must know that king letsie hate them , that coalition will never succecced ,lesotho kings hate democracy they want lesotho to be poor like swaziland,u are right ntate mccd metsing has sold our democracy to nationalists and soon they will suffer for that ,the king sided with the nationalists he never gave dc the first option to court or he should have called for reelection,kings must be neutral as they are the concious of the nation.i hope peete and others are listerning,the king of makhoakhoa morena Thaabe was a very fair person may his soul rest in peace,moshoeshoe oa pele was a man who usually united basotho he was not a tribalist nor politician.i know they will seèk my blood as i express my democratic rights,these nationalists had killed and buried our brothers alive in 70′s metsing have now brought them into power,i urgue dc to be the home of real congress movements,iam the real supporter of lcd but when metsing formed a coalition he never sent begged the voters in bothabothe leribe ty etc

Comment by Maru-mats'o on 9 July 2012:
You don’t need to be a genius to see that in 2017 DC will win yet again, as it did this year in just less than three months of its formation. Wishing Mosisili away or silencing him won’t serve anybody any good. If he is politically irrelevant and emasculated as some of the “enlightened” people want us to believe, why worry about him? Give him political space that is guaranteed by the constitution to report back to his supporters and to chart their own way forward. That’s the essence of democracy! Political diversity is what makes successful countries win. He has never ordered stayaways or his followers to rise up against the coalition government. He has never gone to SADC to ask for mediation or assistance. So what’s the fuss about? Politics is about engaging in issues and selling your story to people. Politics is not a war. People are not kids; they will make their own choices anyway. You can’t dictate to people how to think and decide. This phobia about Mosisli is unfounded and raises alarm for nothing. It’s much ado about nothing. He is a man of peace and principle. Please don’t hang yourself when he wins again in 2017!

Comment by Lobengula on 10 July 2012:
A ke le mo utloeng; e ka re o re etsetsa favour! It is more painful for me that DC gained more votes in the highlands where I hail from; taking into consideration that the highlands regions have been neglected under the various Mosisili administrations. The highlands are the liveblood of Lesotho; diamonds are mined there; wool is produced there; water comes from the highlands and the highland people have not neglected farming like the lowlands even though they get no assistance from the government. The parties in the coalition must go into the highlands and start delivering; roads are non existant; hospitals; clinics; government offices. The people from Leribe highlands ( HA THEKO; HA SESHOTE; MAMOHAU; MOTETE; KAO; FOKA MOSOTHO; HA KHAUTA; MPHOROSANE; HA LEJONE; HA NKISI) have to travel all the way to Hlotse for passports; licences and other government services. The coalition must bring this services close to the people and the fact that some of the services( like vehicle number plates) can only be found in Maseru is a punishment to Basotho. As for Mosisili he can dream on and go around making a fool of himself; Basotho have gone past his kind of politics, the politics of propaganda and lies. The fact is; no party wanted to work with his DC because DC is a training centre for thieves.
Comment by pit on 10 July 2012:
Mary mats’o what is it that Ntate Mosisili is doing if he is not inciting violence against a democratically government , as much as DC would try make us believe this is just cheap politicking from Ntate Mosisili truth be told Ntate enoa will not settle at anything but see the government toppled by hook or by crook. Ntate Mosisili is playing a very dirty game the last time this game was played it was on him at state house and he knows the outcome of that battle people died ,today it’s him inciting people to kill and he thinks he can getaway with it.

@lofo ,I dont care what u are saying ,I will never allow my forefathers party congress to be consumed by nationalists,I put my head on the Block that metsing need to send the voters a letter of agology or else he will have to step down by force and pressure (I wish him the best to be deputy and may he work in Peace with Tom Thabane that man who have the heart to solve problems of Basotho ,May God Bless Them ),I am not joking nor laughing ,ho kena selekaneng le bnp is not a Child play but an insult upon the ideology of congress parties ,in the next congress meeting Mokhomo a tla ja libantsa ,we went out of the country and some of our Brothers died in exile in Libya ,Botswana,and RSA ,only for metsing to sell it to the nationalists within Two hours ,I say in the next lcd meeting I will fight for this party of my father ,Heads will Turn .For this Congress to live I will work hard to bring those who formed lpc back ,I will bring DC home ,I will work hand in hand with BCP as the father and the mother of this ideology -All congress parties must form one movement to revive this ideology,I will restore the years which were consumed by mahlabapheo and congress will live again ,this is my story ,This is my song and my dream will come into reality.
My commends have nothing to do with coalition ,I care of rebuilding and restoring the fallen walls of congress ,next time when Metsing get into serious issues he must consult the voters First then the executive committe will decide based on the people`s opinion-14 days was enough for lcd leaders to enquire from the voters .Athe what is puso ea sechaba ka sechaba ,what is congress for Democracy? It means that u dont decide for the nation but u apply Batho pele or sechaba pele principle .
Metsing I advise u to make a rally and explain to the community why u entered into the deal without consulting them ,i advise u to say sorry to them because they are not as educated or understaning as u are ,please swallow u pride guys ,we elected u into power and have disappointed us .

Lesotho and Basotho existed before Congress and Nationalists movements. These ideologies you talk about have created animosity between brothers and have had fatal consequences…and you still want to carry it forward?? You sound very militant in your convictions and I doubt there is still any room for you and your type in the era we currently live in. Congress and National movements are movements for Basotho. We can live in harmony even if we do things differently……Lesotho ke la Basotho eseng manasi kapa macongress, the sooner you learn the faster you will heal!!

Ao batho ‘Lesotho’ oa Molimo o ntse a phela bophelong ba litoro tsa “Manasi le Makhonkerese”!? My brother/sister; wake up this is 2012 not 1966 for Petes sake! This is a time when Basotho need to unite and take this country forward; to another level. If it means the CONGRESS PARTIES joining hands with the NATIONALISTS (WHATEVER THAT MEANS)so be it. Basotho are naturally hard workers; people who passionately love education, smart people and tidy people ( that is why there are no shandy towns in Lesotho). We just need leadership that is God fearing; honest and has the interests of Basotho elevate above those of petty party politics. I bet ‘Lesotho’ your grandfather has long went to meet his Maker and his needs in 1966 were different to your needs now. Mosisili is just out to create chaos and misinform Basotho about the COALITION and why DC is not spearheading governance after elections; which is simply because no party wanted to be associated to a man and a group which has misruled; stolen; misdirected; tortured; maimed; crippled; abused our mighty nation. If you do not want to wake up to reality; just keep on dreaming but do not day dream.
Comment by Lesotho on 11 July 2012:
@Shady you are indeed lost in the belly of indian ocean,lets put congress parties together towards 2017 ,this is the cry of our heart .
2.Lcd executive committe have undermined the voters by making sensitive decisions without consulting them..that conclusion undermines Puso ea sechaba ka sechaba which means congress of the people ,or puso ea batho not nationalism which is a doctrine that nations should act independently (rather than collectively) to attain their goals.LCD ke party ea ideology ea congress which means a formal assembly of a union, trade body, or similar organization; the assembly of a society ,country solutions through peoples ideas and opinions etc.
however let me say Metsing was not alone when the coalition was formed they allow him to sign so that they can get positions ,but what about the future of lcd ? now the poor pple think that is metsing who sold democracy to nationals and tomoro the same pple who advised Him to sign for a coalition will be campaigning for his position.
watch this space….
Comment by Lesotho on 11 July 2012:
@Lobengula, U seem to be a Blind person ,whether we unite or not there will also be nationals and congress ,God has created us with different idealogies and unity means pple with the same mind coming together in one accord ,meaning whoever wants to be part of us must understand our idealogy.this is not a sin , what u are talking about is not unity but togetherness ..and the togetherness of Basotho never produced anything for this country .
if i have a congress ideology and u have a national ideology and we come together it does not mean that we are united or in oneness ..because we have two different minds .lesotho does not need togetherness ..it needs to be ruled either by nationals or congresses .
togetherness cant produce peace and love ,but unity and being at-one-ment can produce peace and prosperity.
Even for this current coalition to work together one big party in the coalition has to withdraw or compromise so that there can be a way forward.
The pple who were building the tower of babel were not together but they had one ideology in the mind thats why nothing could stop them.
The pple who were praying on the day of pentecost where having one ideology in the mind thats Christ Jesus and there was earth quake and the spirit came upon them .all of them were believers of Christ ,there were no pharasisis there ,judaism but were all christians …there had one idea-logy.
So what do u mean ,by saying basotho must unite..for us to unite congresses must unite first and nationals must unite as they have united in the coalition (BNP and ABC),so why are u criticising me when i say congresses must unite.Go and study unity not togetherness or gathering..there is no unity without common ideology…Read is 2012

Your concern is mainly on your forefathers’ s congress not for anything tt will benefit Basotho in terms of developments.
Petty minds will discuss about congress and nazis which does not make sense at all. Great minds will focus on de unity, developments, economic growth for Basotho.
I urge u to change ur mind set my friend. Why should u be concerned about DC?. Why u never advice Mahaletere to avoid split from de beginning? U are crying for a split milk. U are seriously in need of Mothoba-pelo. Go to Pink House @ Ha Ts’osane to seek for a healing.

Is ntate “Fonkong” Mosisili a christian? ‘Forgive us, as we forgive those who sin against us’! Take a leaf from baba Madiba’s book. He forgave Boers, who raped their mothers, sisters and killed their children (June-16)and the black Americans. No Mosotho has witnessed or suffered the way they were inhumanly subjected to! I am from a congress family but a proud ABC. You belong to a museum. You are a fake Christian! Our politics have evolved, its time for Basotho to work hand in hand to make Lesotho a better country. Not cheap politics! Fokong is better than you.
