Former Police Minister Sekola Lepota will be laid to rest at Khutsong Military Cemetery, just outside the Lesotho Defence Force Ratjomose Barracks, on Friday.
Before venturing into politics, Lepota served in the LDF, including a stint in VIP protection, where he was the driver to former Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili.
He passed away last Sunday after a brief illness.
Lepota served as Minister of Police and Public Safety in June 2021 under Prime Minister Moeketsi Majoro, representing the All Basotho Convention. He was also a Member of Parliament for his home constituency, Makhaleng.
Apart from politics, Lepota was a well-known taxi owner, a business he appears to have left behind when he became an active politician.
