Lesotho's Prime Minister Resigns Amid Corruption Allegations
Maseru, Lesotho – Lesotho's Prime Minister Thomas Thabane has resigned after facing mounting pressure over his involvement in the 2017 murder of his estranged wife, Lipolelo Thabane. The allegations have sparked widespread outrage and calls for his removal from office.
According to police investigations, Thabane is suspected of being complicit in the killing of Lipolelo, who was found dead on the outskirts of the capital, Maseru, three years ago. Phone records and witness testimony allegedly link Thabane to the crime.
The Prime Minister has denied any involvement, but the allegations have cast a shadow over his administration and led to growing calls for his resignation. Opponents have accused Thabane of using his position to interfere with the investigation.
In a televised address to the nation, Thabane announced his decision to step down, saying that he wanted to “prioritize the stability of the kingdom.” He also said that he was “confident” that he would be cleared of the charges.
The resignation of Prime Minister Thabane follows a period of political instability in Lesotho. The country has been plagued by coups and assassinations in recent decades, and the latest allegations have only served to deepen the crisis.
The international community has expressed concern over the situation in Lesotho and called for a peaceful resolution. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has sent a delegation to mediate negotiations between the government and opposition parties.
