Every now and then, I love stepping away from the grand ceremonies to document the quieter, more ordinary moments in the lives of Lesotho’s Royal Family.
Beyond the crowns, titles and royal responsibilities, these are moments that reveal the human side of the monarchy.

@PolokoMokhele_ @MokitimiTsosane And also having a small number of local judges, some of the appealed decisions would have been made by them, so it would be difficult for example to put up a full bench.
Also the high court has to continue functioning.
But now there is a bigger number of judges

The current session of the Appeal Court has the highest number of Basotho judges on the bench in recent history. Among them is Dr Tekane Maqakachane, an academic and practising lawyer.

COURTS | The second week of the October sitting of the Court of Appeal opens with several high-profile appeals, including Justice Monaphathi vs Chief Justice, suspended RSL boss ‘Mathabo Mokoko vs the RSL Board and ‘Mamarame Matela vs LCA

@PolokoMokhele_ @MokitimiTsosane I see, actually the whole bench could be native Basotho. Besides the colonial legacy, I believe the thinking has always been that foreign judges can be more neutral as they have no interests or background to local issues.

@PolokoMokhele_ @Lestimes @thepostpaper @EyeLesotho I get you, as a proprietor I was interested more on how I should make money, as it is now, journalism is not considered a public good enterprise, as a result it is very difficult to keep the head above water

For the next six months, I’ll be shifting my reporting focus towards Parliament.

One thing I’ve learnt on the parliamentary beat is that building relationships requires you to arrive early, spend time at the porte-cochère, and master the art of doorstep interviews.

Yesterday, I visited Constitution Hill in Johannesburg, where I met a group of South Africans calling themselves the Galela Campaigners.

They have been living in makeshift tents around South Africa’s Constitutional Court for three years.

Most are women in their 60s and 70s. . .
