Lesotho Prime Minister Announces Intention To Resign

Lesotho Prime Minister Tom Thabane yesterday announced his intention to leave the office SABC News reports.

This might be linked to the 80-year old’s wife who is reportedly on the run after a warrant of arrest was issued for her after she failed to turn up for questioning. However, according to analysts, there are many underlying reasons why Thabane might want to retire 2 years after he took office.

Mrs Thabane is wanted for questioning in the murder of Thabane’s first wife who was gunned down just outside Maseru in June 2017.
