He said Manyokole wanted to familiarise himself with the matter before it could proceed, but was himself suspended in January 2021 and there had been no progress on the case since. WSSL’s co-owner, Mophato Monyake — Lesotho’s former justice minister — wrote to the finance ministry’s Procurement Policy and Advice Division listing the six companies that had been invited to bid, which did not include LTE.

He was backed up by another competitor who lost to LTE, Geoffrey Moshabesha of PM Aviation Consultancy, who also claimed that Mahlala represented LTE in the tender briefing sessions.Mahlala disputed claims by these two losing bidders that it was he who represented LTE at the airport tender briefings.

“Majola is a close friend, more of a brother to me. We registered that company together a long time ago but I pulled out even before the airport tender and therefore had nothing to do with it.“I may not be the DC treasurer but I would know if Majola was funding the DC. As my brother, he would have told me.”

Mofolo has other business links to Mahlala and his Facebook page suggests he is also connected to the Democratic Congress.
