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.

Defence Minister Mosito fired
as Masoetsa blasts “spineless” Majoro for the decision.

PRIME Minister Moeketsi Majoro has fired Defence and National Security Minister Lekhetho Mosito barely two weeks after appointing him to the post.
Although Dr Majoro did not give reasons for the move, Mr Mosito this week bared his soul to the
Lesotho Times. He said the writing had been on the wall for him since last Tuesday when the premier told him that he was under immense pressure from ruling All Basotho Convention (ABC) apparatchiks to fire him.
Mr Mosito, the ABC’s legislator for the Likhetlane constituency, said Dr Majoro had even apologised for his imminent ouster. He said the premier told him that he had no choice but sacrifice him to save his own position after senior ABC officials had threatened to oust him as prime minister if he did not get rid of Mr Mosito.
