Thabane in a sentence

Lesotho prime minister Thomas Thabane and his wife Maesaiah Thabane with Zambian President Edgar Lungu in Maseru in 2017.

Likewise, Thabane was largely outmaneuvered within the ABC, with an opposing faction effectively taking over the party leadership, though Thabane has fought a fierce rearguard battle against this in court.

Ms Sibolla has since joined with Dr Thabane's grandson and namesake, Thomas Thabane, and two others in filing a Court of Appeal application challenging Justice Mahase's decision to grant 'Maesaiah bail.

However, a laughing Thabane was having none of it.

Earlier this week, a magistrate ruled that Lesotho's high court will decide if Thabane can claim immunity from a charge that he murdered his former wife.

Government, together with businesses and the society at large must come together to find lasting solutions to revive the economy post Mr Thabane's government and post Covid-19," said Mr Matete.

It should be us who should suffer and they would assign some people on a mission to burn our houses and cars," said Mr Hlaele, a son-in-law to Dr Thabane.

Lesotho’s Prime Minister Thomas Thabane skipped the country for a medical check up in South Africa on the day he was supposed to show up in court Friday to face charges of murdering his former wife, his office said.

Lipolelo Thabane, 58, was shot several times at close range as she sat in a car near her home, two days before husband’s inauguration in 2017.

Lipolelo Thabane was fatally shot by gunmen near her home in the capital Maseru in June 2017.

Maesaiah Thabane was taken into custody but was swiftly granted bail of 1,000 Loti or about $67, without the prosecutors having their say — a highly unusual move.

Mr Seboka said corruption, bad governance and general lawlessness had become a byword for Mr Thabane's outgoing government.

Mr Thabane described it as a "senseless killing" in his inauguration speech.

Mr Thabane has said he will resign at the end of July, while several members of his own All Basotho Convention (ABC) party have been pressuring him to go sooner to avert political chaos.

On Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill that prevents Thabane from dissolving parliament and calling fresh elections in the event of a vote of no confidence against him, meaning that should such a vote pass he has no choice but to leave.

Parliament was, however, re-opened on 21 April 2020 after Mr Thabane's own All Basotho Convention (ABC) party and others successfully challenged the prorogation in the Constitutional Court.

Senior members of Mr Thabane's All Basotho Convention (ABC) party have accused the PM of hampering investigations into the killing and calls for his resignation intensified when his wife failed to submit to police questioning.

She disappeared for weeks and Mr. Thabane refused to answer questions about her whereabouts.
