Ramaphosa to attend Lesotho PM’s inauguration

SADC Facilitator for Lesotho, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa will join regional and international leaders for the inauguration of the mountain kingdom’s Prime Minister-elect, Tom Thabane, on Friday.

The inauguration follows the recent general elections in Lesotho.

Ramaphosa earlier congratulated the people of Lesotho on holding peaceful and democratic elections.

Meanwhile, Lesotho police are investigating an incident in which Thabane’s estranged wife was shot dead on Wednesday night.

There are fears that this could lead to renewed political turmoil in Lesotho.

But, Ramaphosa has called for calm and insists that the inauguration will go ahead.
