PRIME Minister Moeketsi Majoro has been appointed deputy leader of the ruling All Basotho Convention (ABC).
He replaces Professor Nqosa Mahao who dumped the ABC to form the Basotho Action Party (BAP) after falling out with Dr Majoro and secretary general Lebohang Hlaele whom he both accused of conniving to hand back the party and government to former Prime Minister and current ABC leader Thomas Thabane.
His appointment was announced by the ABC’s national executive committee (NEC) at a media briefing at the State House this week. The briefing was attended by Mr Thabane, NEC members and members of parliament (MPs) who pledged their support for Dr Majoro to remain prime minister until next year’s elections.

A VICIOUS war has erupted between Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro’s two key ministers.
Newly appointed Defence and National Security Minister Lekhetho Mosito has filed an unprecedented M3 million defamation lawsuit against his cabinet colleague, Agriculture, Marketing and Food Security Minister, Tefo Mapesela.
This after Mr Mapesela’s scathing broadside against Mr Mosito. The agriculture minister last week viciously attacked Mr Mosito and even chastised Prime Minister Majoro for appointing him into cabinet.
Mr Mosito is the ruling All Basotho Convention (ABC)’s legislator for the Likhetlane constituency. He was on 3 February 2021 appointed defence minister by Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro. This was Dr Majoro’s first cabinet reshuffle since taking over from former incumbent Thomas Thabane who leads the ABC.
