  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

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.

  • 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.
