Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The camp had 312 boys and 145 girls under the LDF Youth Development Programme. The boot camp\u2019s manager, Major \u2019Mamofokeng Masheli, said the LDF Youth Development Programme started in 2021 after some chiefs and villagers complained about the unruly and violent behaviour of some youths in their areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of youths who would steal, rape, and assault people showed that the security of the fellow citizens was compromised, and the army had to act,\u201d Major Masheli said.<\/p>\n

She said they were immediately instructed to round up those perpetrators to deal with such barbaric acts \u201cbut, after completing their training we received many other letters complaining about people who train these youngsters at schools\u201d.<\/p>\n

She said the army commander told them to be proactive and \u201cordered us to go to schools to teach the students about patriotism and leadership\u201d. One of the boot camp\u2019s sponsors, Mothepu Lesaoana from Storm Mountain Mine, said they are proud to be associated with the programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank the army for realising that thupa e otlolloa esale metsi (catch them while they are still young),\u201d Lesaoana said.<\/p>\n

He said the business sector is facing challenges that include theft and other crimes mostly perpetrated by the youth \u201ctherefore they must be taught good manners\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever call yourselves soldiers and bully others when you go back to your homes.\u201d<\/p>\n
