The newly appointed Prime minister Moeketsi Majoro swears in at the Royal Palace in Maseru in the morning of May 20, 2020. – Lesotho’s beleaguered former prime minister resigned, ending a months-long political crisis that engulfed the kingdom after he was accused of playing a conspiratory role in the 2017 murder of his estranged wife.
On Tuesday, he confirmed his resignation, clearing the way for 58-year-old Majoro, a seasoned economist, to take the reins. “I will be a true and faithful prime minister, so help me God,” said Majoro, who previously worked as an executive director at the International Monetary Fund in one of its Africa offices.
Two months later he married his now-wife Maesaiah Thabane, 43, who is considered a co-conspirator in the killing.Maesaiah was absent from Wednesday’s swearing-in ceremony, where her husband apologised for his shortcomings during his nearly three years in office.
And so God help you to allow the law prosecute alleged murderers who snuffed life out of Lipolelo Thabane in 2017, aged 58. But why such heinous crime? The truth would soon be found out.
