“It’s been a double blow for the Moleleki’s family. The wife of the former Lesotho’s Deputy Prime and a long time serving Health Professional was earlier admitted after testing positive to COVID-19, she is said to be recovering and in good shape. But much care and prayers will be needed for the former Lesotho Deputy Prime Minister Monyane Moleleki who has previously been under intense medical treatment for other underlying medical conditions.
