The people of Lesotho are mourning the tragic loss of their first lady, Lipolelo Thabane.
The estranged wife of incoming Lesotho Prime Minister Thomas Thabane was shot dead this morning, just two days before his inauguration. The 58-year-old was traveling home with a friend when both women were shot by an unknown assailant, the police say.
The police add that details surrounding the killing are still sketchy but an investigation is already on to arrest those who have a hand in it.
The incoming prime minister and his late wife had been living separately since 2012 after they filed for divorce which hasn’t been granted yet. But she won a high court battle against her husband to secure the privileges of a First Lady, instead of Mr. Thabane’s youngest wife, Liabiloe, reports the AFP news agency.
Samonyane Ntsekele, the secretary-general of Mr. Thabane’s All Basotho Convention party, told AFP that the prime minister was devastated by the shooting.
“Everyone is traumatised by these developments,” he said.
Thomas Thabane was last week Friday elected Prime Minister of Lesotho after he emerged as the winner of 48 parliamentary but short of the 61 needed to form a government.

I smell something here

I think SANDF should pull a Russian style annexation of Lesotho that 10th SA province has been acting up for years now, Swaziland should be next too.

I 've got two suspects in my. 1) The PM himself. 2)The PM's new wife. Now the second suspect seems to me to have a stronger motive to want to whack Mrs. "former first lady". Don't know what you think but if this is coming from the very higher(PM) up,then I don't see this case getting solved. It will just go away-just like that. I get a feeling this is murkier than we like to think. Like,what led to the rift between the PM and his enstranged wife in the first place? Power is sometimes crazy. Wishing the detectives @Maseru goodluck cracking this. Normally,I love cases like this...following.

Devastated...sure. I am sure the first lady-in waiting is also 'devastated' and crying herself to sleep too.

DictatorZAR1 Ever heard of the word/term "sovereignty". Yeah,Lesotho and Swaziland might be tiny but they are sovereign nation States. Any attempt to annex them will bring the full weight of the international community on whosoever the aggressor is. Russia got away with just sanctions and you know just why. ZA will get it WORSE if it pulled a similar stunt! You keep that in mind,man.

RIP

Those very sovereign nations are 99% reliant on SA and whenever they have issues SA suffers. SA funds there government budgets even that outdated absolute Swazi Monarch whose pervy King marries a new teen each year gets he's perks from SA. The same international community ask SA to intervene every 4months when a new crisis starts. Russia is a different story and there's no correlation between the two issues.

The issue with Lesotho is they have a out going PM who will do anything to stay in power he even went as far to deploy he's useless army at polling stations during the recent elections, and he still lost. Lesotho should dismantle there army because it is the main driver behind its issues.

Anyway the west has no interest in Lesotho so an annexation would not affect there neocon ambitions.

I know about these issues okay,but that doesn't change the fact that these two monarchies are sovereign entities(very sad reality). This might sound all too legalistic but that is the truth and I am sure that the government of SA knows this and that is why I don't see it making such a move any time soon. You were right about Mswazi though. The guy is a real pervert.
