He replied that he hopes that things will change when they are here and have received their degrees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Their success may change the nature of the crimes that happen a lot in this field of grazing issues. Because these letters were received by the Lesotho Highlands Water Project for the Polihali dam which will start construction soon,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that this issue of crimes inside the dam will eventually cause the dam to end due to the floods that will occur when the land is not covered with grass. He said the rain will not come off the ground and will pollute the dam as well as cover it.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Seeiso has appealed to those who have been given degrees to take part in giving thanks to LHDA for seeing that the land is protected, to have a speech in their villages that will warn the herdsmen to see that the land is protected.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Lesotho is a country that lives on agriculture and animals and all those things are things that come from the land where the land is preserved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Other issues of destruction of the country give birth to crimes such as murders that we see rampant in the country every day we hide people who kill each other in the country here.<\/p>\n<p>These same issues of crime and hunger have fueled the kind of gangs that are now brutally killing each other. They came out of the country because of the problems and hunger in the country, but if this country was good, they would have stayed and worked for themselves to avoid such things. Even those who have the talent to sing should not produce it, they make money with it and not by killing each other,&#8221; he said.<\/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.
