Army boss warns of plot
MASERU-In a startling revelation, army commander Lieutenant General Mojalefa Letsoela has warned that there are some soldiers who are plotting to topple the government.
Addressing a parade at the Makoanyane Military Barracks last Thursday, Lt Gen Letsoela said there is a group of soldiers that “want to back up an allegiance to remove the government”.
Lt Gen Letsoela said such soldiers belong to “some units under command directly”.
“I warn you soldiers, this will not happen under my command, not under my command,” Lt Gen Letsoela said.
The commander said the army has in the past failed to live up to its commitment.
