Lesotho. -(News of The South) – Lesotho’s Prime Minister Tom Thabane, yesterday told a South African envoy deployed by the country’s President to assess and salvage the political situation in the mountainous kingdom that he wanted to retire.
Thabane and his wife Maesaiah have been fingered in the controversial 2017 murder of Lipolelo Thabane the Prime Minister’s ex wife.
“We started with a courtesy call to His Majesty the King and then we went to see the Prime Minister who explained the issues that are unfolding here in the Kingdom of Lesotho.
South Africa will support all the measures and decision that the Honourable Prime Minister and the people of Lesotho are making,” said Jeff Radebe, who is part of the South African envoy to Lesotho.
Thabane’s intention to retire comes after the opposition and his own ABC party called for him to vacate office. This was after he was accused of shielding his wife who is wanted by the police.
However, Lesotho’s opposition said if Thabane didn’t step down anytime soon, it would see to it that Parliament reopens, so it could use its numbers to vote him out.
