Lesotho pm faces calls to quit sooner over murder case

It appears that the Prime Minister of Lesotho, Thomas Thabane, is facing pressure to resign sooner rather than later due to his alleged involvement in a murder case.

According to reports, Thabane's wife, Lipolelo Thabane, was murdered in 2017, just before he took office as Prime Minister. An investigation into her death has been ongoing, and Thabane has been accused of being involved in her murder.

The opposition parties in Lesotho have been calling for Thabane to resign, citing his alleged involvement in the murder and his failure to cooperate with the investigation. The opposition parties have also accused Thabane of using his position to try to influence the investigation and avoid accountability.

The situation has become increasingly tense, with protests and demonstrations taking place in the capital city of Maseru. The international community, including the African Union and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), has also called for Thabane to step down and allow a transparent investigation into the murder.

It remains to be seen whether Thabane will resign or continue to face pressure to do so. The situation is likely to continue to unfold in the coming days and weeks.
