Africa-Press<\/a> – Lesotho<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>In a statement made on Friday last week, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations Hon. \u2018Mat\u0161epo Ramakoae said on June 10, they received a<\/p>\n

note verbale from the government of South Africa (SA) detailing the allegations of the Lesotho\u2019s diplomats attached in some parts of that country. The<\/p>\n

Minister said upon receiving the report, the Ministry immediately acted on charges levelled by the neighbouring country adding that they wrote to it to<\/p>\n

express their remorse over the conduct of the Lesotho diplomats. These developments result from the recent debacle allegedly committed by the Lesotho diplomats in SA attached in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Durban missions.<\/p>\n

The Diplomats are in hot water \u201cdue to the abuse of their diplomatic privileges\u201d, a move which prompted their host country to declare them and their families persona non grata, this means they are<\/p>\n

undesirable to be in the host country. Reacting to these developments, the government had then said it has learned with \u201cdisappointment and embarrassment that several Basotho diplomats serving in the<\/p>\n

Republic of South Africa, at Lesotho High Commission in Pretoria and Lesotho Consulate in Johannesburg have been declared Persona Non Grata by the Government of South Africa\u201d.<\/p>\n

They were given 72 hours to vacate SA. She said those diplomats have been stripped of their diplomatic privileges and no longer enjoy diplomatic immunity.<\/p>\n

The following diplomats and their spouses are alleged to have abused their privileges: \u2018Malika Sylvia Molapo-Mphofe (Consular), Keketso Halieo Makhupane (First Secretary), Jane<\/p>\n

Lekunya (Third Secretary), \u2018Malebohang Jane (Attach\u00e9 Administration), Cephas Koluoane Jane (spouse of M Jane), Ketso Pitrose Kalake (Attach\u00e9 Driver), \u2018Mathato Joyce Kalake (spouse of KP Kalake), Limakatso Mafelesi (spouse<\/p>\n

of LJ Ralebesi, Consular Attach\u00e9 Administration, Durban), Teboho Charles Letsela (Consular Attach\u00e9, Johannesburg), Molefi John Matsoso (Assistant Attach\u00e9, Johannesburg), \u2018Makhotso Angelinah<\/p>\n

Matsoso (spouse of MJ Matsoso) and \u2018Makagiso Anicia Mabeleng (spouse of K Mabeleng, Consular Attach\u00e9, Johannesburg). The Ministry had also warned that the<\/p>\n

two diplomats despite appearing in the list their contract had expired. Despite the government of SA saying they have to surrender the diplomatic tools (diplomatic identity cards (Ids),<\/p>\n

diplomatic plate numbers and diplomatic passports), the Minister said of the 12 only four had returned theirs. Asked when the rest will surrender the Lesotho diplomatic passports to be deregistered, the Ministry\u2019s Principal<\/p>\n

Secretary (PS) retired Colonel Tanki Mothae said they will ensure that the diplomatic passports are returned as it is a norm when the tenure of office<\/p>\n

ends. Asked when they will also return the SA\u2019s IDs and cars registration numbers, he said they are now outside their \u201cjurisdiction\u201d. It is reported that these Diplomats buy<\/p>\n

tax-free alcohol and allegedly sell it to the liquor outlets costing SA government to lose in excess of R100 million (M100 million) per month in taxes.<\/p>\n

The Ministry had said they have contravened the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961 treaty. Ramakoe said they have taken disciplinary actions against the alleged perpetrators adding that they will refer their<\/p>\n

cases to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to pursue legal action against them. \u201cThe investigations are ongoing,\u201d she said. The PS has indicated that the severity<\/p>\n

of the disciplinary actions will be determined by the magnitude of the misconduct. Mothae further mentioned that the misconduct was committed in SA and they will \u201cwait\u201d for SA report adding that<\/p>\n

at this stage they cannot give out much information as it might \u201cprejudice\u201d the outcomes. He however mentioned that they will enforce the Public Service code of conduct while enforcing the disciplinary<\/p>\n

actions. The PS said ever since they had been expelled, they have not reported to the office instead they have approached their legal representatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are dealing with a complicated situation and the human beings,\u201d he said adding that these actions have been<\/p>\n

performed \u201cdeliberately\u201d as the cases date back as far as 2018. The Minister said in due process they will engage the new diplomats who will replace these ones.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the allegations that the diplomats are employed through political party lines, she said that practice is common in other countries saying there is nothing wrong<\/p>\n

with it as long as those are \u201ccompetent\u201d. Meanwhile, the diplomats\u2019 lawyer has written a letter to the Ministry, requesting an audience as some highly placed<\/p>\n

persons are implicated in this saga. Also this correspondence intimated that the diplomats will lodge the case in court. Asked to respond to the allegations<\/p>\n

that she (the Minister) and the PS are also implicated in the buying of alcohol at that duty-free shop for diplomats, the former said she is a teetotal adding<\/p>\n

that if she could have bought it, she would stick to the confined limits while the latter said he had bought alcohol for M18 500 for personal purpose.<\/p>\n

The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961, Article 36 (1) charges the receiving state to exempt the Diplomats from paying taxes and customs duties when shopping.<\/p>\n

The other privileges enjoyed by the diplomats as stipulated in the treaty\u2019s Article 29 is that; \u201cThe person of a diplomatic agent shall be inviolable.<\/p>\n

He shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention. The receiving State shall treat him with due respect and shall take all appropriate steps to prevent any attack on his person, freedom<\/p>\n

or dignity. \u201d The other country to have their diplomats expelled by SA allegedly by the same misconduct is Malawi. Some of the functions performed by the<\/p>\n

diplomats include the promotion of their country\u2019s information on trade, commerce, technology and maintaining the cordial relations between their countries and the receiving State.<\/p>\n

The Vienna Convention states the functions of diplomatic missions as: \u201cRepresenting the sending State in the receiving State; Protecting in the receiving State the interests of the sending<\/p>\n

State and of its nationals within the limits permitted by international law; Negotiating with the government of the receiving State. \u201d The Minister said all the services<\/p>\n

rendered by the missions whose these diplomats were assigned at are available. She further made a call to all the Lesotho diplomats all over the world to uphold the image of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
