President Robert Mugabe is sending intelligence agents to Lesotho to investigate the assassination of Maaparankoe Mahao‚ the former commander of the Lesotho Defence Force who was shot dead a week ago.
South Africa’s Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa reported on Wednesday that Zimbabwe and Namibia are sending their agents into Lesotho.
“Mosisili has requested that SADC should assist with the investigation into the death of Lieutenant-General Mahao‚ as well as to assist with the pathology examination around his death,” said Ramaphosa.
He continued, “South Africa will be sending pathologists‚ to do the examination and other countries in the region; Zimbabwe and Namibia will be sending investigators to investigate the circumstances around Lieutenant-General Mahao’s death.”
Ramaphosa said he also “took the opportunity to meet other stakeholders…parties in the opposition‚ we met the churches‚ we met the non-governmental organisations and also His Majesty King Letsie III”.
“And no doubt everyone is very concerned about the passing of Lieutenant General Mahao…It is this that has prompted the leaders in the region to call a summit of the Double Troika‚” said Ramaphosa.
“And I am sure that out of that discussion will come suggestions‚ proposals and solutions of how to take matters forward here in Lesotho.”
President Jacob Zuma is ” concerned about the apparent explosive security situation” there following the “flight of the three opposition leaders and the killing of Maaparankoe Mahao‚ former commander of the Lesotho Defence Force,” according to the South African Times.

Look at our zanu hypocrites! They rush to investigate others but they have bones in their cupboards. Where is Itai? SADC is a shame. Zimbabwe should be the last country to be asked to do such missions because of their record back at home.
