Lesotho remains tense─── SABRINA DEAN 12:10 Wed, 01 Oct 2014
Maseru - As top-level diplomatic negotiations continue to seek a resolution to the political impasse in Lesotho, reports continue to emerge of further unrest.
AFP Correspondent Michael J Jordan spoke to OFM News from Lesotho where he is following up on reports of another shootout in the early hours of this morning. He says details are very sketchy.
Jordan says 140 SADC police observers arrived in Lesotho last week but the question still remains as to what exactly their role is supposed to be.
Meanwhile South Africa’s Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa is still in Lesotho. His spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa says the visit forms part of Ramaphosa’s SADC mandate.
Mamoepa was unable to confirm the latest reports of unrest.
