Defections rock ABC
MASERU-Ten members of two popular musical bands which were closely connected with the All Basotho Convention (ABC) have defected to the Democratic Congress (DC) party.
The two parties are partners in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro.
The bands were crowd pullers at the party’s rallies.
They crossed to the DC last Friday.
The bands are led by Sello Kuoe, widely known as Chaile, and Molapo Molapo.
The ABC national executive committee members declined to comment saying it is the spokesman, Montoeli Masoetsa, who has the mandate to speak.
Efforts to contact Masoetsa failed this week.
