Seleke bounces back, lands top LEC job
Pascalinah Kabi
FORMER Lesotho National Development Authority (LNDC) chief executive officer CEO), Mohato Seleke, has been appointed as the new Lesotho Electricity Company (LEC) managing director.
He replaces Leketekete Ketso who had been in charge albeit in an acting capacity.
Mr Seleke’s appointment is with effect from tomorrow. It marks an upturn in his fortunes as it comes barely two months after Trade and Industry Minister, Thabiso Molapo, refused to renew his contract at the LNDC. He had since filed a High Court application seeking the reversal of the minister’s decision.

THE Judicial Service commission (JSC) has bemoaned the crippling shortage of judges which has resulted in a huge increase in the backlog of criminal and constitutional cases.
This was disclosed by JSC secretary, Advocate ‘Mathato Sekoai, in her court affidavit filed in opposition of Law and Justice Minister’s counter-application for the nullification of the process initiated by Acting Chief Justice ‘Maseforo Mahase and Attorney General Haae Phoofolo to recruit five new judges.
Adv Sekoai is JSC secretary by virtue of being the registrar of the High Court and Court of Appeal. Her affidavit represents Justice Mahase who authorised her to depose it.
