Government must urgently cushion fuel prices before today’s mining crisis becomes tomorrow’s economic disaster. The cost of inaction will be far greater than the cost of intervention.
When fuel costs soar, unemployment rises, service delivery suffers, investment declines and poverty deepens.
Govt must urgently cushion fuel prices before today’s mining crisis becomes tomorrow’s economic disaster.
Cost of inaction will be greater than the cost of intervention.
Fuel is the blood of the economy.
Kao Mine’s closure and the loss of 750 jobs is a stark warning.
Rising fuel prices are choking production, destroying jobs and forcing businesses to scale down or shut down.
Government has no role in the appointment of the Director of Elections. The Electoral Act makes the Director the IEC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, while the Constitution guarantees the Commission’s independence.
Auditor-General has revealed a shocking M3.09 billion discrepancy in government accounts.

We are witnessing the consolidation of populist power, coalitions of state capture, Vulture Culture and anti-constitutionalism in Lesotho. We are in a crisis. Na le bona tsietsi eo re leng ho eona?!!
258,000 Basotho already face hunger, and by March 2026 that number could reach 334,000, yet government action remains slow. Food is available, but our people simply can’t afford it. Poverty in Lesotho is no longer a statistic, it’s a policy failure.
Raising crucial concerns on the Supplementary Appropriation 2025 Bill. Only emergency spending should bypass Parliament, everything else needs proper approval. Financial discipline matters, and the Constitution must be followed.
