Muckraker never thought the High Court will have its power cut off because of an unpaid debt. It\u2019s hilarious because it is the same High Court that is in the business of granting orders for banks to repossess houses and cars from people who default on their loans.<\/p>\n<p>It even orders naughty men and women to restore conjugal rights or else they would grant a divorce. Now the judges know how it feels when they order houses and cars to be sold for pittances to settle their debts.<\/p>\n<p>They have been switching off people\u2019s shelters for years. Now they have been forced to abandon their chambers and go home. Mohato Seleke, the LEC\u2019s managing director, is on the rampage.<\/p>\n<p>Those complaining about his methods are misdirected. Government departments should just pay their bills on time. This business of neglecting to pay your electricity bills because \u201cKe company ea \u2018Muso\u201d has to end.<\/p>\n<p>Muckraker is however irritated that the High Court has been closed because of the power cut. The High Court already has a source of power to keep operating.<\/p>\n<p>You see, those hideous colonial-era wigs that our judges keep wearing decades after independence could be the court\u2019s solution to this problem. Dip the wigs in paraffin for a few hours and light them.<\/p>\n<p>They will burn for days while the government finds the money to settle the debt. That way the judges would have killed two birds with one stone: get rid of a useless colonial relic and keep the courts lit for days.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing to be gained from wearing those shabby things more than 40 years after independence. There is no evidence that they make our judges smarter.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, they seem to make them slower and incompetent. No one can think straight with such a heavy load on their head. There is one more reason to bin those wigs.<\/p>\n<p>Muckraker did not know that former Chief Justice Nthomeng Majara is such a stunner until she saw her without the wig at the RFP launch a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>She was glowing. The wig made her look old, shabby and shoddy. Muckraker would like to see Justice \u2019Maseforo Mahase out of that wig. There is some pleasing sight under that heap of wool.<\/p>\n<p>#FreeMahasefromthewool. As for the male judges, Muckraker believes those wigs make them look ridiculous. Most of them look like old goats in those wigs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
