Africa-Press – Lesotho. A primary school teacher recently gave her students homework. They were to ask their parents about their jobs and present their findings in class. Things were going well until one sad boy walked to the front for his turn.
“My father is a pimp who sells drugs to children. He is a jerk who steals from the disabled and kicks them in the head.
He once slapped a woman on a wheelchair,” the boy said. “My father has been arrested 15 times in the past three months. Last week, he came home with his truck full of stolen meat,” he added.
The class and the teacher are stunned into silence. “So what is your father’s job?” asked one student. “I don’t know how to describe him. He is a pimp, a thief and a jerk.
All in one,” said the boy. The teacher was shocked and wondered why the boy was lying because she knew the boy’s father was a policeman. “But isn’t your father a policeman?” she asked.
“Yes ma’m he is but I am too embarrassed to say he is a policeman. I would rather he be a pimp and a thief than a policeman.
There is no profession worse than being a policeman in this country,” said the boy as he wiped off tears. The teacher and the students instantly understood the boy’s predicament.

He didn’t want to be associated with the police in any way, shape or form. “Clap hands for him,” the teachers commanded the class. There is no way to describe the levels to which our police have sunk.
Last week they did it again. They have added another dead person to their long list of victims. Kopano Makutoane was allegedly killed by the police during the strike.
The LMPS (Lesotho Murderous Police Services) is living up to its reputation. This time it was so brazen that they couldn’t spin it. They promptly issued a statement saying they are aware of the “unfortunate and hurtful incidents” at NUL “where there was a loss of life and some casualties”.

They admitted that the “management is ashamed and condemns these acts”. This was the first time that the police confessed that they were “ashamed” of something.
The statement could have ended there because those words sufficed. But the police wanted to add some oomph to the statement by making a promise that even donkeys know they will not keep.
“We want to reassure the public that in-depth investigations have been launched to establish what really transpired so that action can be taken against the culprits”.
Hahahahahahahaha. That’s not Muckraker laughing but the rats in the ceiling at Mabote Police station. It’s the police promising to arrest itself for committing a crime.
If you believe that, you can believe anything. The Feselady has a real doctorate. Kabi and Majoro are now best friends. Mafeteng is the cleanest town in Lesotho. Shoprite loves Enrich. Mamarame is a brilliant lawyer. Majoro is Lesotho’s best prime minister. And you are not your mother’s child.
