its a sad situation what happened back home fam...isht is really bugged. the problem however is that as much as this is disturbing and should be protested and voiced against, its going to be shoved under the carpet. its not the first time something of this nature has happened in Lesotho. Cops shoot people everyday homes, in bars, in their homes, on the street "enforcing so called curfews". its just mad...!
cops in Lesotho have no "formal" riot control training. last time the national university had a similar protest by students they were doused half to death with tear gas...!
my condolences to her family. no justice no peace!
and another thing, this is not a copout or some quire cowardness, its reality. be careful what you say about the Lesotho Government, especially if you put it on Radio. its no joke with them niccas homes, saying that theyl find you and knock on your door and have you disappear is not fiction
they murked an
MP just down the street to my house "
selala" was his name...shoved sluggs deep in the cats dome for showing protest against the current administration. not only that but there was a huge row over a popular journo if i remember correctly
just forgot his name but he even had to skip the country cos they were threatening the life of him & his wife just cos he was getting people to "talk" about what was really going on in the country, with regard to the corruption with ministers and them purchasing Mercedes Benzes for R4000.00
wrote my undergrad research paper on
Bureaucratic corruption in Lesotho and its crazy "how far the rabbit hole goes"...stepping on the wrong people's toes & messing with their bread (even if its just in an academic interview) is hella risky!
