Africa-Press<\/a> – Lesotho<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Kenyan legal scholar and activist Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba is expected to grace the launch of two books authored by soldier and international writer Bothata Kennedy Silase in Maseru on October 2.<\/p>\n

PLO Lumumba, as he is widely known, is the founder of PLO Lumumba Foundation and an advocate of the courts of Kenya and Tanganyika. He is a law professor known across the African continent and the world for his intellect and activism. Silase, on the other hand, is the deputy director of the PLO Lumumba Foundation-Lesotho Chapter.<\/p>\n

The launch of Silase\u2019s two books \u2018The Recoil 2: Days of the Haunted\u2019 and \u2018Against All Odds\u2019 will also mark the launch of \u2018The save Lesotho campaign\u2019 initiative at Victory Hall in Maseru \u2013 themed \u2018Lesotho what now? Way forward informed by historical lessons five erstwhile leaders of Africa.<\/p>\n

\u2019 Its sub-theme will be: \u2018Political reawakening, economic reorientation and social cohesion\u2019.<\/p>\n

The campaign is hinged on historical lessons learned from King Moshoeshoe I, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Captain Thomas Sankara, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and Dr John Pombe Magufuli.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe (The Bothata Kennedy Silase Foundation) have decided to bring Professor PLO Lumumba to Lesotho with The Save Lesotho Campaign because we believe the launch can catapult Lesotho to a different orbit in terms of Literature and Leadership,\u201d Silase told this publication.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Recoil 2\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

is a sequel to \u2018The Recoil\u2019, the first book Silase authored centred on the life of protagonist Masilo Mokoena, who had forgotten about his malicious deeds orchestrated during his days at the National University of Lesotho.<\/p>\n

Mokoena\u2019s life was gravitating towards a different orbit and got to be punished because of his previous crimes which had resurfaced and impacted significantly on his life.<\/p>\n

The other book, \u2018Against All Odds\u2019 is a memoir of Advocate Makhetha Julius Mot\u0161oari, an advocate of the courts of Lesotho. The 30-years-old Silase is an international author, ghost-writer and speech-writer, orator and pan-Africanist.<\/p>\n

He is presently waiting to hear how his book has fared in the 2021 Commonwealth Short Story Competition whose results are expected to be announced soon.<\/p>\n

He is an active Lesotho Defence Force airman with eight years of service. He works under the close supervision of literary agent, Thomas Michael Kielbasinski, from the United States of America. Silase has been named the deputy director of the PLO Lumumba Foundation in Lesotho, and is co-founder of The Bothata Kennedy Silase Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
