Mahao sues newspaper
MASERU-JUSTICE Minister Professor Nqosa Mahao is suing the Assistant Commissioner of Police Motlatsi Mapola and the Sunday Express newspaper for defamation.
Mahao is claiming M3 million as compensatory damages for defamation.
In court papers filed in court last Friday, Mahao says the story which was carried in the Sunday Express headlined, Mapola leaps to Thabane’s defence, was defamatory.
Mahao complains that the newspaper depicted him as having “actively anchored and led a political faction that deliberately and falsely implicated former Prime Minister Tom Thabane in Lipolelo Thabane’s (his late wife) murder for political gain”.
He also said the newspaper said he “abused Commissioner Holomo Molibeli and used his institutional clout as head of (the police) to stage a fabricated case of murder against the erstwhile, and or, former Prime Minister Thabane”.
