According to Senauoane, from the 300 Basotho who commenced their training at Police Training<\/p>\n<p>College (PTC) on February 15th, 4 trainees comprising of three girls and one boy lost their lives. She said proper investigations are underway to determine the cause of their deaths.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have also taken proper procedures to ensure that the other trainees are safe,\u201d she said. Senauoane passed her condolences to His Majesty King Letsie<\/p>\n<p>III and his government, families of the deceased and the nation in general on behalf of the ministry. She said earlier this month on February 9th 2021, many families were<\/p>\n<p>excited when their members were announced to commence Police trainings. She said this brought hope to those trainees, who were expected to fill the empty<\/p>\n<p>spaces within the Police department and to continue with the task of protection and public safety. Senauoane further said on February 15th, the trainees showed up at PTC as expected and they went through health inspections<\/p>\n<p>whereby they were tested for Covid-19 and other diseases. \u201cThey also went through other tests to examine if they are in good health to commence the training and they all qualified except for one lady who was found to be pregnant,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>she said. Police Spokesperson Senior Superintendent Mpiti Mopeli said this is a very sad moment and a great loss to the police department. He added that even though the country<\/p>\n<p>is still in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic, the department of Police made proper arrangements for the trainings as health tests were made which included<\/p>\n<p>Covid-19 tests. He said necessary strategies and procedures to adhere to Covid-19 regulations were made prior to the trainings. \u201cIt was also presented before the National COVID-19 Secretariat (NACOSEC) and the cabinet and<\/p>\n<p>they approved the training,\u201d he said. He said once the investigations are completed, the department will then decide on what will happen next regarding the trainings. Mopeli passed his sincere condolences to the families of the deceased and to all Basotho.<\/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.
