President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Former Deputy Chief Justice of the Republic of South Africa, Dikgang Moseneke, as the leader of the Mediation Team of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) facilitation in the Kingdom of Lesotho.
This will assist the President as he continues to facilitate the political national dialogue and reform processes in the Kingdom of Lesotho.
This decision is in line with the resolution that was taken at the SADC Double Troika Summit that was held on 24 April 2018 in Luanda, Angola, which decided that President Ramaphosa should continue with the facilitation and recommended that he appoint high level personalities to support him.
Justice Moseneke will be supported by three more members of the team, which include Deputy Ministers Enver Surty of Basic Education, Regina Mhaule of International Relations and Cooperation and Ellen Molekane of State Security.
In September 2014, President Ramaphosa was appointed by the SADC Heads of State and Government as a SADC Facilitator in Lesotho, following the country’s security and political challenges.
