Court to rule on Thabane ouster today
Mohalenyane Phakela
ALL Basotho Convention (ABC) leader, Thomas Thabane, will today know whether or not he will be ousted as his party’s boss.
High Court Justice Polo Banyane is expected to deliver judgment on a case brought by two ABC officials, Sekhonyana Mosenene and Thabo Sekonyela, who want to have Mr Thabane removed as leader, claiming he was too old and too ill to continue holding the post.
They have sought urgent reliefs to, among other things, interdict Mr Thabane from making decisions on behalf of the ABC and attending its NEC meetings due to his alleged ill health until a new leader is elected at an elective conference

TWO members of the Professor Nqosa Mahao-led faction of the ruling All Basotho Convention (ABC) have petitioned the High Court to declare former prime minister and party leader Thomas Thabane unfit to lead the fractious party.
The two – Sekhonyana Mosenene and Thabo Sekonyela – also want the court to interdict Mr Thabane from making decisions on behalf of the ABC due to his alleged ill health until a new leader is elected.

Their bizarre court application is yet another affirmation that the implosion of the ABC – the anchor party in the current governing coalition – continues unabated.
