Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Action for Peace and Solidarity (APS) this week launched a scathing attack on former Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili, his deputy Mothetjoa Metsing and former defence minister, Ts\u030celiso Mokhosi, for trying to cover-up the murder of former army commander, Lieutenant General Maaparankoe Mahao. Yesterday marked exactly five years since his assassination. On June 25 2015, which also happens to have been a Thursday, Mahao was ambushed and killed by fellow soldiers. APS accused Mosisili, Metsing and Mokhosi of variously vilifying Mahao as a ringleader of a mutiny that \u201csupposedly unfolded during the period of his tenure as commander\u201d of the Lesotho Defence Force (LDF).
\n\u201cStrangely too, the government of the time made no efforts to investigate the matter and bring those responsible to book. Instead, (the government) shielded the criminals behind a weird shroud of what the rulers christened as independence of the army from civilian control claiming politicians had no right to interfere in the matters of security,\u201d APS said in a statement. Efforts to get responses from Mosisili, Metsing and Mokhosi were unsuccessful this week. APS is an association formed by friends, comrades and peers of Mahao after his brutal gunning down by soldiers in 2015 to which seeks to promote his legacy of the defense of the rule of law and human rights.
\nWhen Mahao was ambushed and murdered in a daylight shooting outside his village, Mokema in Roma, while on his way to Maseru on June 25, 2015, LDF said he was shot while resisting arrest by soldiers for supposed complicity in the mutiny plot. His family has always differed with this account based on the version of his nephews who were with him during the incident. A total of 23 \u201cmutiny suspects\u201d were arrested while a legion of other soldiers fled the country and hid in neighbouring South Africa.
\nA Commission of Inquiry, initiated by the Southern African Development Community (SADC), at the invitation of Mosisili, found that there were a series of previous attempts against Mahao\u2019s life by members of the LDF manifesting \u201ca desire to have him dead\u201d. The commission dispelled efforts of those LDF members implicated in Mahao\u2019s death to cast the shooting as having occurred in the course of arrest. It recommended stern action against the killers and also found that the alleged mutiny plot was \u201chighly suspect\u201d. The commission recommended an amnesty covering the arrested soldiers and those that skipped the country. The mutiny charges have since been quashed and the former suspects have been reintegrated in the army.
\n\u201cWhen the SADC commission of Inquiry led by Judge Mpaphi Phumaphi confirmed our conviction that Comrade Mahao was indeed callously murdered in a predetermined manhunt, and named the killers for prosecution, the government first refused to receive its report, then went on to accept it under threat of sanctions only to excise the names of wrongdoers under pretext of national security,\u201d APS said. Mosisili\u2019s government topped its act with a statement that SADC\u2019s decisions for its implementation were not binding on Lesotho as a sovereign state, the statement added.
\nIt said: \u201cThe rulers of the time went further to draft an ill-fated general amnesty bill that placed the arbitrarily detained and tortured \u201cmutineer\u201d soldiers in the same bracket with their Phumaphi named tormentors, and sought to cast a wide net of amnesty to exonerate them. \u201cThe cloud of the threat of international isolation that overhung the country over the 18 months to the collapse of that regime in June 2017, is now legend \u2013 all as a result of the intransigence born of an unholy marriage of the rulers and criminals embedded in the army.\u201d
\nSuspected Mahao killers were arrested and charged in November 2017, about five months after Mosisili\u2019s government collapsed. Those soldiers are: Captain Litekanyo Nyakane, Captain Haleo Makara, Sergeant Lekhooa Moepi, Sergeant Motsamai Fako, Corporal Marasi Moleli, Corporal Mots\u030coane Machai, Corporal Mohlalefi Seitlheko, and Corporal Ts\u030citso Ramoholi.
\nFormer LDF commander Lieutenant General Tlali Kamoli was cited as the 9th accused in Mahao\u2019s murder in January 2019, in a case that is still pending in the High Court. APS this week called on government to garner the courage and do the right thing by putting its foot down to remove all hurdles to a prompt, swift, transparent, and complete prosecution of Mahao killers and \u201call other cases of the dastardly, murderous state-condoned violence of the security forces; and afford a fitting compensation to the families of the victims\u201d.
\nMahao\u2019s death was preceded by power struggles within the LDF since August 2014 when then Prime Minister Thomas Thabane terminated Kamoli\u2019s appointment as LDF commander and promoted the deceased from the rank of brigadier to the rank of Lieutenant General and subsequently appointed him commander.
\nKamoli refused to step aside, challenging the legitimacy of his dismissal and subsequently the army attacked police stations and the State House, forcing Thabane to flee the country claiming the attacks were an attempted coup. The home of Mahao was also attacked with fire power which claimed the life of one of his dogs and left his cars riddled with bullets. Kamoli, Mahao and Khothatso Ts\u030cooana, then Commissioner of Police were later sent outside the country on special leave by the SADC Facilitator Cyril Ramaphosa as he tried to resolve the security crisis.
\nKamoli returned home before his two colleagues. This was after Thabane lost the election which was held in February 2015 and was ousted from power by Mosisili. Mahao and Ts\u030cooana arrived later. Mosisili reinstated Kamoli to the position of LDF commander in May 2015 and backdated the reinstatement to August 2014 when Thabane fired him. Mosisili also reversed Mahao\u2019s appointment, saying Kamoli\u2019s dismissal and Mahao\u2019s appointment were illegal. About a month later, Mahao was killed.
\nBut Kamoli has blamed the death of Mahao on the \u201cunfortunate decision\u201d to expel him in August 2014. He said if he was not \u201csuspended from full duty\u201d and posted outside Lesotho, Mahao \u201ccould not have possibly met his untimely death\u201d. The claims were made in papers filed in the High Court last year when Kamoli was seeking release on bail from prison. He submitted to the court that he had \u201cno involvement at all in any matter that had to do with the demise\u201d of Mahao, and further claimed that \u201cif it was expedient that Mahao ought to have been arrested\u201d, he could have arrested him \u201csinglehandedly\u201d.<\/p>\n
