I would not have made it if it were not for His mercy. As the African saying affirms ‘A person is a person because of other people’, which in Sesotho is translated as Motho ke motho ka batho, I believe that this thesis would not have been completed if it had not been for the assistance of other people. In particular, I extend my sincere gratitude to my Supervisors Professor I.M. Kosch and Professor M.J. Mafela for their guidance throughout the completion of this thesis. Their hard work, encouragement, constant support (both academically and personally) as well as their insightful comments offered throughout this study, gave me courage to continue. My special thanks also go to NIHSS/SAHUDA for its financial support during the carrying out of this study.

  • Lesotho Coups D'etat: Political Decay and Erosion of Democracy
    JOERNAAUJOURNAL PHERUDl/BARN ARD LESOTHO COUPS D'ETAT: POLITICAL DECAY AND EROSION OF DEMOCRACY M.L. Pherudi' and S.L. Barnard2 INTRODUCTORY BACKGROUND OF LESOTHO The Basotho nation and its proto state came into being in the first half of the 19th centmy. In 1868 the territoiy became the colonial possession of the British Crown.' As a colonial possession, Britain entrenched its colonial policies in a new­ ly acquired territoiy. Its loss of political sovereignty and indigenous independence was implicit in the Annexation Proclamation which declared that "the said tribe of the Basotho shall be, and shall be taken to be to all intents and pmposes British subjects, and the territoiy of the said tribe shall be, and shall be taken to be British territory". 4 Bringing the Basotho under British subjugation meant an end to and the amelioration of the communal practices and the beliefs of the Basotho. As British subjects, the Basotho had to conform to the voice of the new masters. This confor­ mity was emphasised in the churches, schools and communal assemblies (Li pitsong) under the supervision of the British officials. Some chiefs collaborated with the new rulers to suppress possible insurrection among the Basotho. Rugege argued that the Britons subjugated the Basotho because they wanted to l!Vert a possible annihilation of the people in the continuing wars with the Boers. 5 Protecting the Basotho against Boer intrusion from the Free State was an over­ simplification of the state of affairs. It is true that the Free State wanted to incorpo­ rate Lesotho but it is important also to recognise that Britain had an ambition of acquiring colonies from Cape to cairo.

A process of re-democratisation was attempted in the country in 1993 but another coup succeeded the elections. The next elections in 1998 were marked by the worst political violence in the history of Lesotho. Electoral reforms were then introduced in 2002. Still, the reforms did not prevent the coup attempt in 2014.

  • Mooki Leepa's Rebellion of February to March
    MOOKI LEEPA’S REBELLION OF FEBRUARY TO MARCH 1970: A PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF MOTIVES Neville W. Pule and Motlatsi Thabane1 Abstract This article deals with a well-known but largely under-researched event that occurred in Lesotho during the first three months of 1970, an incident in which members of opposition parties under the leadership of a former Deputy Commissioner of Police, Clement Mooki Leepa, occupied a cave, Lehaha-la-Likhomo, and organised themselves into a force determined to resist police arrest. Using the oral testimony of one key participant, court cases, official reports and secondary sources, the article firstly attempts to situate the incident, and Leepa’s involvement in it, in the context of political divisions that characterised the country’s road to independence and, secondly, to reconstruct the events that took place at the cave. The article mainly argues that, accepting without question the assertion that many of the acts of members of opposition parties in 1970 were attempts to topple government, prevents a deeper understanding of the complex and contradictory political and at times personal reasons and motivations of equally complex individuals and groups who participated in these activities. We have used the terms “rebel” or “rebellion” to describe the incident discussed in this paper, but have done so reluctantly because the men and their backers’ plans were nipped in the bud, and never came to anything. 1. INTRODUCTION Some of the difficulties of decolonisation in Africa became clear, and were sorted out, during negotiations, or struggles, for independence. Others came to the fore after independence, and combined with those that could not be resolved during pre- independence negotiations, demanded resolution and testing the ability of the newly- established political system to reproduce itself.

  • Lesotho – Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 21 June 2012
    Lesotho – Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 21 June 2012 Lesotho: Reports on politically-related violence since 2008 and inability or unwillingness of police and State authorities to provide effective protection. The 2012 Freedom House report on Lesotho, in a section titled “Overview”, refers to events since the 2007 elections as follows: “Opposition parties disputed the allocations, accusing the government of poll- rigging and gerrymandering, and called a general strike. The strike was halted after the SADC agreed to mediate, but the talks failed to formally resolve the dispute. In 2008, 43 by-elections were held, the results of which were also contested by the opposition. ABC supporters protested outside the office of the IEC, holding several workers hostage until the protest was broken up by police. In 2009, gunmen opened fire on Prime Minister Mosisili's house, but he escaped unharmed. Government officials and some journalists linked the assassination attempt to the ongoing election dispute, calling it a failed coup.” (Freedom House (14 June 2012) Freedom in the World 2012 – Lesotho) A US Department of State background note on Lesotho, in a section titled “History”, states: “On April 22, 2009, a failed assassination attempt was made on Prime Minister Mosisili at his residence.

  • Towards an Explanation of the Recurrence of Military Coups in Lesotho
    ASPJ Africa & Francophonie - 3rd Quarter 2017 Towards an Explanation of the Recurrence of Military Coups in Lesotho EVERISTO BENYERA, PHD* esotho’s history is littered with military coups, with the latest one—with questionable authenticity—complicating the already complicated role of the military in the South African country’s politics. This article un- packs what it terms a dangerous mix in Lesotho’s politics which pits the military against the monarch.1 This will be achieved by first exploring the history of monarch–military relations using the coloniality of power as the theoretical L 2 framework. This relationship is here cast as one of legitimisation, delegitimisa- tion, and relegitimisation.3 Some authors characterise the relationship as perpetu- ally antagonistic and maintain that it was never meant to work.4 Accordingly, the two institutions tend to have a love–hate relationship, at times opposing each other while also reinforcing one another on another level. In this relationship, tensions occur when the military delegitimises the monarch and the state, leading in turn to the monarchy seeking to relegitimise itself. The extent of these tensions is expressed—among other things—through the various military coup d’états that have rocked the kingdom in the clouds for decades. In Lesotho, the latest version of military coups occurred on 1 September 2014 and was the sixth successful coup in the country since 1970. Unlike other coups before it, this one was very different because it was disputed by many, in- cluding Lesotho’s powerful and influential only neighbour, South Africa, and the *Dr Everisto Benyera is a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Sciences at the University of South Africa in Pretoria, South Africa.
