Lesotho Defence Force Commander, Lieutenant General Mojalefa Letsoela, has urged his troops to exercise courtesy and professionalism when interacting with civilians during the festive season.

This he said while addressing the staff roll call parade at Makoanyane on Thursday, where he emphasized the importance of maintaining respectful conduct, particularly for those assigned to assist the police at vehicle checkpoints operations.

He reminded them that many civilians are grappling with life’s hardships, which can make them irritable.

“You have seen lately, that some Basotho are irascible. Be gentle with them, and be courteous. Oftentimes, they will calm down when they see you maintaining your cool. Remember, you are there to serve and protect them,” Letsoela said.

He further commanded his soldiers to remain kind even when provoked but cautioned them to be vigilant against being manipulated by criminals.

“Some criminals will pull tricks on you to make you lose focus. Be vigilant and don’t let criminals pull the wool over your eyes,” he added.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Letsoela stressed the need to take a firm stance against criminal activity.

“Be hard on criminals. I will not dictate how, but a criminal should fear the sight of a soldier,” he warned.

Deputy Commander Major General Matela Matobakele also addressed the gathering, focusing on the importance of discipline.

He criticized soldiers for going out at night, stating that such behavior not only violates military policy but also negatively impacts their finances and family well-being.

“Stop going out at night. You have seen how this behavior has affected some of your colleagues. You do not want to become victims,” Matobakele cautioned.

Historically, the army’s interactions with civilians have been criticized for being overly harsh, instilling fear in some segments of the community.

The recent remarks by the LDF command appear to be an effort to shift this perception and emphasize professionalism and discipline within the force.

Defend The Trap, Spudu’s Fun House, events by the youth, for the youth! What about these events make them so cool and relevant? Morena Leraba to do a show in Maseru after a successful show in Johannesburg.

Defend The Trap was founded by Teboho Moshoeshoe, Thulo Mokhathali, and Tseliso Monts’i. An event that was created to provide a platform for young hip hop artists while also bringing big acts from abroad to perform in the mountain kingdom. Having had 14 events before this one, DTT maintains its consistency and brings rising trap star Kindly Nxsh to perform in their 2024 edition of the event. All aspiring artists are also given a chance to go on the DTT stage through a competition online. DTT aims to grow and inspire the industry, proving that the entertainment industry has potential to go further. Held on the 26th of December 2024 at Headlines, this year's DTT will be one for the books.

Spudu’s Fun House collective invites summer with “The Sunset Experience”. Known for their invite only events, the collective has caused quite a lot of controversy among the youth. So what gets you an invite to a SFH event? “Motion”, when you have motion it means you thrive and excel in what you do, that you aren’t only a functioning member of society but you contribute and bring about a positive change to your community . Maseru is a city full of young professionals, creatives and innovators. An event like SFH is where like minded people from different backgrounds meet and network. It begs the question, who wouldn't want to be invited to an exclusive event? If you have motion, we will be seeing you at The Sunset Experience on the 20th of December 2024 at the Elibo guesthouse!

“It is such a privilege to be able to showcase our genre-bending sound in Lesotho”, Morena Leraba says, as he prepares for his show in Maseru that will be held by the Cafe What restaurant on the 22nd of December 2024. Having recently done shows in Ljubljana, Slovenia and Johannesburg, South Africa, Leraba is on a tour sharing his music with the world. Make sure to get there on time as there is limited space in the venue.

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐞 (56) has retired after an illustrious 37-year career in the Lesotho Defence Force (LDF).

He began his career with the LDF on 1 July 1987 and quickly rose through the ranks, marking significant milestones along the way.

A notable highlight of his service includes his 1997 graduation from the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom. Following which, he returned to Lesotho and served as an instructor in the LDF Training Wing for five years.

In July 2006, Brigadier Stemere was deployed to the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS), where he served as Group Side Commander in Darfur's Kulbus region.

Two years later, in 2008, he was appointed Defence Advisor at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Lesotho in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He held this diplomatic post for little over three years.

Upon returning home, he was appointed as Provost Marshal in the LDF Military Police.

His exceptional performance in this role led to his promotion to Brigadier and subsequent appointment as Brigade Commander.

Colleagues, fellow servicemen, and civilians alike have hailed Brigadier Stemere as the epitome of a good soldier.

His career is widely regarded as a shining example of service, leadership, and commitment to duty.

As Brigadier Stemere steps into retirement, he leaves behind a legacy of professionalism and integrity, which will continue to inspire the ranks of the LDF for years to come.
