Chief of the South African Navy, Vice Admiral Monde Lobese, Warns Unpatriotic Government Leaders and Sellouts Who Are Turning a Blind Eye to Maritime Crime and Endangering the Navy and SANDF, While Pushing for Privatization
“As the Navy, we rejected this sellout and unpatriotic decision.”
“Attempts have been made by certain government departments to bring a foreign company to come patrol our waters.”
“The unpatriotic and what appears to be a sellout posture of defunding the SA Navy and the SANDF in general…”
“…these consistent underfunding and incapacitating of the South African Navy and the defence force in general is to ensure the success of the operations that undermine our nation…”
“I often find myself questioning whether those responsible… may be directly or indirectly influenced by these drug cartels, illegal traders, maritime criminals, and human traffickers.”
“…whether the people behind what I would like to call nonsense, if they are not busy with a mission to privatize the SA Navy and the SANDF…”
“…private security is a lucrative business in our country and it is replacing the state security machinery.”
“Should the SA Navy’s roles fall into private hands… the same government that today tells us there is no money to fund the Navy will use government reserves to fund those private security forces.”
The Matekane-led coalition has now completed 3 years, the first in Lesotho’s history to last this long. 🇱🇸
With 2 years left, as analysts we hold mixed views on its performance so far, from governance and stability to policy delivery.

Lesotho’s Constitution has become fragmented with numerous amendments, now worsened by the 10th. For good governance & rule of law, Govt should publish a consolidated, official version via the Government Printing to ensure accessibility, transparency & constitutional literacy.
Grateful to have published a number of academic articles at my age. This is proof that passion, persistence, and purpose know no age limit. Here’s to inspiring more young minds to share their voices and shape the future of knowledge.
Three more currently under review.
I have taken the advice of my Executive Director at the Strategic Institute for Research and Dialogue- SIRD, Prof. Khabele Matlosa to develop this into an academic journal as it is very contemporary. The work starts now. #Lesotho
@YourKayBol This is a good case which challenges the status that we can’t sue to demand socio-economic rights. WASCO’s response is premised on that and it is not surprising. Even if it was not WASCO,any parastatal or government department would have responded in that way
I think there are more important things to worry about than get worked up over #Trump comment about #Lesotho. He said it and now many more people know about the country, which is good. Let’s focus on other more important things:
• Youth Unemployment
• Health Budget e.t.c
In his address to Congress , Trump outlines what he terms a waste of money by Democrats, which included:
“$8 million to promote LGBTQI in Lesotho, a country nobody knows about…”

#Militarisation of public security has several features. One is the use of the military on activities related to citizen security. Trivialisation of the exceptional use of the armed forces in public security brings the logic of war, resulting in serious #human_rights violations.
Sesotho is being taken to greater HIGHTS by our local artists. Who would have thought. Such a vibe I personally never thought will come to being. #SesothoFashioneng
