Thupeyo Muleya in Maseru, Lesotho
Vice President Kembo Mohadi has joined other African leaders at Setsoto Stadium in Maseru for Lesotho’s bicentenary celebrations and 58th independence.
The event marks 200 years since the Basotho Kingdom was founded by King Moshoeshoe the First.
These celebrations are a significant milestone in Lesotho’s history, and they provide an opportunity for the Basotho people to come together and reflect on their collective identity and heritage.
The Vice President is representing President Mnangagwa, the Sadc chairman. He is accompanied by the acting Permanent Secretary in his office, Mr Milton Ndou, Mrs Samukheliso Musendame and senior Government officials including the country’s Envoy to South Africa, Mr David Hamadziripi.
Lesotho is celebrating its bicentennial anniversary this year, marking 200 years since King Moshoeshoe I founded the Basotho nation in 1824.
In separate interviews, the Basotho citizens said they are excited to be joined by people from across Sadc countries and the rest of the world on this important historic day.
The yearlong celebrations are themed “Basotho 200 Years – Rebirth. Reflection. Revival” and various events and activities showcasing the country’s rich history and culture have been lined up.
“We feel proud of our culture as Basotho to be joined by our fellow Africans on this important day,” said Mr Mohlomi Seutloali.
