Pheko said when South Africa was engulfed by the chaos of the apartheid years its black people were scattered all over the world including Lesotho, now is the time to return the favour. “If the comrades in Lesotho have to seek refuge in our country, because they are being persecuted for resisting government repression, we shall welcome them. We promise to support the ABC as it is Lesotho’s government of the future”. This was an apparent reference to the Harvest FM’s Reverend Adam Lekhoaba who was summarily deported to South Africa in what some observers have interpreted as the Lesotho government’s attempt to gag the media.

This comes from a Public Eye story on ABC support in Welkom, SA. Read the full story here. Perhaps one of these days we will get some actual news on the Lesotho political situation, instead of hearing murmurs and grumbles only.
Then again maybe the ABC will give the ANC a kick in the pants…
Here are some details (and here) about Lekhoaba’s situation before it escalated to exile in RSA.
