Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>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.
\n\u201cMy father is a pimp who sells drugs to children. He is a jerk who steals from the disabled and kicks them in the head.
\nHe once slapped a woman on a wheelchair,\u201d the boy said. \u201cMy father has been arrested 15 times in the past three months. Last week, he came home with his truck full of stolen meat,\u201d he added.
\nThe class and the teacher are stunned into silence. \u201cSo what is your father\u2019s job?\u201d asked one student. \u201cI don\u2019t know how to describe him. He is a pimp, a thief and a jerk.
\nAll in one,\u201d said the boy. The teacher was shocked and wondered why the boy was lying because she knew the boy\u2019s father was a policeman. \u201cBut isn\u2019t your father a policeman?\u201d she asked.
\n\u201cYes ma\u2019m 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.
\nThere is no profession worse than being a policeman in this country,\u201d said the boy as he wiped off tears. The teacher and the students instantly understood the boy\u2019s predicament.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t want to be associated with the police in any way, shape or form. \u201cClap hands for him,\u201d the teachers commanded the class. There is no way to describe the levels to which our police have sunk.
\nLast 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.
\nThe LMPS (Lesotho Murderous Police Services) is living up to its reputation. This time it was so brazen that they couldn\u2019t spin it. They promptly issued a statement saying they are aware of the \u201cunfortunate and hurtful incidents\u201d at NUL \u201cwhere there was a loss of life and some casualties\u201d.<\/p>\n

They admitted that the \u201cmanagement is ashamed and condemns these acts\u201d. This was the first time that the police confessed that they were \u201cashamed\u201d of something.
\nThe 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.
\n\u201cWe 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\u201d.
\nHahahahahahahaha. That\u2019s not Muckraker laughing but the rats in the ceiling at Mabote Police station. It\u2019s the police promising to arrest itself for committing a crime.
\nIf 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\u2019s best prime minister. And you are not your mother\u2019s child.<\/p>\n
