Poultry import ban continues
Bereng Mpaki
LESOTHO’S ban on the importation of poultry products from parts of South Africa which have recorded cases of the deadly avian influenza is continuing, the government has said.
The government this week said it does not have the capacity to deal with the deadly avian influenza in the event of local transmissions.
The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) broke out in a Gauteng commercial chicken farm last month and has since spread out to other parts of the country including the North West province.
The South African Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) has said that affected farms have since been quarantined, with control measures being implemented. DALRRD this week also said no human transmissions have so far been recorded, therefore, the transmission risk to people is low.
Power debt cripples Trade ministry operations
Bereng Mpaki
BUSINESS has come to a halt at the Ministry of Trade and Industry after the Lesotho Electricity Company (LEC) cut the ministry’s power off over unpaid bills.
Although it could not be ascertained how much the Trade ministry is owing, late last month, the LEC started cutting off power supply to several clients who owe it huge amounts of money. Among them is the Ministry of Trade headquarters in Maseru, which has gone without power for the past three weeks.
The unavailability of power has forced the ministry to stop offering various services to its clients.
Mpilo Boutique shuts doors
MASERU-MPILO Boutique, one of Lesotho’s most high-end hotels, has shut down for good after failing to recover from the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The hotel initially shut its doors in May last year when the country went into lockdown as the pandemic was just beginning to wreak havoc.
At that time the management said it hoped the lockdown was temporary and they would soon be back in business.
That hope however evaporated as the country continued in lockdown and the borders remained closed.
The management this week decided to cut its losses and close the business, bringing one of Lesotho’s chicest hotel brands to an end.
