Former PM addresses safety concerns

Former Lesotho Prime Minister Tom Thabane has accused SADC of neglecting him and the other two opposition leaders who returned from exile in South Africa. The Lesotho Times reports that Thabane said the regional bloc ‘should not be deceived’ into thinking their security was guaranteed and 'there are people baying for our lives’ in Lesotho. Thabane, who is the leader of the All Basotho Convention, fled the country in May 2015, together with Basotho National Party leader Thesele Maseribane and Reformed Congress of Lesotho leader Keketso Rantso. They returned to Lesotho a week ago after two years of self-imposed exile in South Africa. SADC facilitator Cyril Ramaphosa said the government had guaranteed the safety of the leaders.
