THE family of the slain army commander, Lieutenant General Maaparankoe Mahao, and other victims of human rights violations are livid with the head of the SADC facilitation to Lesotho, Dikgang Moseneke.
They accuse him of working flat out to save politicians, serving and former members of the security agencies from being tried for murder and other serious crimes.
They have vowed to resist his alleged schemes and if need be, they say they will even appeal to the Unites States and the European Union for justice for their relatives.
