Lesotho cabinet

Lesotho Prime Minister Thom Thabane has fired five members of the national executive of his party All Basotho Convention (ABC). Thabane said the five have brought the party into disrepute, but they're adamant he didn't follow procedure to expel them and say they are staying put. The two factions of the party have been at loggerheads since the organisation's elective conference in February. Meanwhile a motion of no confidence is looming for Thabane, after the High Court in Lesotho endorsed a motion of no confidence against him. • Professor Bheki Mngomezulu, is a political sciences lecturer at the University of the Western Cape. • Tlohang Letsie is a senior lecturer and the department of political and administrative studies at the University of Lesotho.
