Last update: 10 hours ago

Press Freedom Under Fire: Lesotho journalist and human rights defender Kananelo Boloetse’s reported abduction and assault in Maseru has drawn strong condemnation, with Amnesty International and Media Women Association of Lesotho calling for an urgent, independent investigation and protection from reprisals. Food Security & Rural Support: The Disaster Management Authority says food grains purchases will start September 18 at Food Management Units nationwide, buying 10% of registered farmers’ grains and setting aside weevil treatment per bag, with prices published for maize, sorghum, wheat and beans. Tourism Push: The Lesotho Tourism Development Corporation will host a two-day Tourism Pitso (Sept 16–17) to attract investment and market access, linking the sector’s plans to Lesotho’s 60th independence anniversary.
