LMPS receives M60k in donations

Africa-PressLesotho. Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS) received from Nedbank Lesotho M60 000 and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to be used at the Police Training College

(PTC). Speaking at the handover ceremony Nedbank Managing Director Nkau Matete explained that

the bank has over the years appreciated a remarkable fruitful relationship with LMPS and through their support it has been able to provide safe and secure

financial services. He said the bank cooperates with the police on many security initiatives including the fight against money-laundering and proceeds

of crime, fraud perpetuated by the local and international crime syndicates, and cyber-security. He added that the partnership and collaboration continue to

be one of the cornerstones of the stability of the banking and financial services, saying Nedbank Lesotho will continue to support the LMPS through these and other corporate social investment activities.

He furthered that they saw the need to donate to LMPS having noted the challenges that local police face against the fight of the Covid-19 pandemic, as they put

their lives at great risk. “We felt that it is important to contribute in a meaningful way to the well-being of the police, directly to the PTC where young

police officers begin their career and journey,” said Matete. Deputy Commissioner of Police Paseka Mokete stated that Nedbank Lesotho like other companies is giving back to the nation.

He expressed his gratitude to Nedbank Lesotho for the donation they made to LMPS on behalf of their well-being, as the nation is faced with Covid-19. Commissioner

of Police (COMPOL) Holomo Molibeli thanked Nedbank Lesotho for the donations. “Police services are not only for the bank but the entire Basotho nation, therefore

this donation benefit all of us,” COMPOL said. Addressing the challenges they have, he mentioned that there is an alarming increase of crime especially car theft.

“Like Mr Matete has mentioned, we have recently

received multiple reports of stolen cars. I would like to rebuke the doers of those actions, I urge them to stop,” said Molibeli. He added that plans are in place to overcome these challenges.
