Fired-up Metsing takes battle to Qacha’s Nek : Lesotho Times
Fired-up Metsing takes battle to Qacha’s Nek
Filed Under: Local News • News	QACHA’S NEK — Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) leader, Mothetjoa Metsing, has accused Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili of misleading voters by claiming credit for development brought by the LCD
Addressing about a thousand supporters in Qacha’s Nek, Metsing lashed out at Mosisili’s splinter Democratic Congress (DC) party saying the new party should not claim credit for the successes initiated by the LCD government because it had never allocated a single annual budget.
“Where does the DC get it telling people that it developed Lesotho when it is in actual fact a new political party?” Metsing said.
“Yes, Ntate Mosisili did well as prime minister and we’ll always respect him for that. But the truth of the matter is that all this development you see was brought by the LCD government.”
Qacha’s Nek is Mosisili’s home district. It is also home to DC stalwarts, Public Works Minister Semano Sekatle and his wife, Ponts’o Sekatle, who is the Local Government Minister.
The Sekatles are regarded as fierce Mosisili loyalists.
Observers this week said the DC MPs will however face a stiff fight if they are to retain their seats in Qacha’s Nek if the numbers that attended the LCD rally are anything to go by.
Mosiouoa Nthakong, a former Qacha’s Nek district administrator, will go head-to-head with Ponts’o Sekatle in Qacha’s Nek constituency, while Phatela Sejanamane will wrestle for victory against Semano Sekatle in Lebakeng constituency.
Morolo Phooko has a herculean task of trying to unseat Mosisili in his Tsoelike constituency in the May 26 general election.
This is not the first time that Nthakong will square off against Ponts’o Sekatla.
In November 2011, Nthakong challenged Sekatle during the LCD primary elections. He lost amid allegations of chicanery on the part of the local government minister.
Speaking at the rally, LCD chairman, Thabang Pheko, said the rally was not “very big” because they had advised their supporters not to accompany Metsing to Qacha’s Nek for the party to be able to draw a clear picture of the support it commands here.
When Metsing finally grabbed the microphone, he was in a fiery mood.
He said Mosisili was resistant to change because when it became clear that it was time for him to bow out gracefully he instead created confusion by forming a new party.
“You would think that when change beckons, a leader would deal with it instead of causing confusion by forming a new political party,” Metsing said.
Unlike Mosisili, the late LCD founder Ntsu Mokhehle was a noble man who when the time came resigned willingly and refused to hang on to power even when supporters urged him to, Metsing added.
“In Ntate Mokhehle’s place came Ntate Mosisili, whose election to the leadership was marred by controversy,” Metsing said.
“I know all the good things that Ntate Mosisili did in his time. But now change has come and people need a leader who will be able to tackle challenges facing them today.”
When leaders avoid changes they risk the possibility of changes “walking all over you”.
Metsing cited the violent revolutions that took place in Arab countries since last year.
He said some of the leaders were ousted through violent revolts because they had overstayed their welcome.
“Look at what became of leaders like Libya’s Muammar Gadaffi. He refused to cede power and said he’d rather die a martyr. Indeed he died still a leader, under gruesome circumstances,” Metsing said, to further cheers and ululation.
“When changes come, deal with them instead of avoiding them because eventually they will trample on you.”
Metsing said Mosisili was a leader who had isolated himself and was now calling out to people to vote for him from a distance.
“How can you be calling out to people, promising to bring development when the whole country is up in arms against you, throwing stones at you?” Metsing quipped.
A clearly fired up Metsing said it was a blatant lie that free primary education, pensions for the elderly and infrastructure would be done away with if there was a change of government.
“No leader can lie to the public and mislead them by claiming that he has done everything using funds from his own pocket. The development you see was made possible by the LCD government,” Metsing said.
Metsing also appealed to the people of Qacha’s Nek not to indulge in politics based on loyalty to individuals.
“People of Qacha’s Nek, please do not feel like you owe anything to someone from Qacha’s Nek because you originate from the same place,” Metsing said to wild applause and cheers.
“Today people have spoken and they say they know the type of leader they need. They want someone who can relate to their needs and is fearful of God,” he added.
People nationwide were in agreement as to who would be prime minister after the May 26 election.
“If that was not the case, you wouldn’t be here in such great numbers. Please go and vote for the LCD. You came here not by any man’s influence but by God’s intervention,” Metsing said.
LCD secretary general Keketso Rants’o said the LCD had come to Qacha’s Nek to take back the fortunes that Mosisili had voluntarily thrown away.
“I’m talking about the fortunes this person had inherited from Ntate Ntsu Mokhehle but decided to throw away,” Rants’o said.
The former ruling party supporters, who were mostly clad in LCD regalia, sang songs denouncing the DC.
Metsing was flanked by LCD deputy leader Motloheloa Phooko, secretary general Rants’o, treasurer Lebohang Nts’inyi, chairman Thabang Pheko, youth league president Ts’oanelo Ramakeoane and the elders’ committee chairman Mpho Malie.
The rally was held within the Qacha’s Nek constituency currently represented by Ponts’o Sekatle.
“The developments u see made it possible by LCD government not from any leader’s own pocket”

Comment by windowdressor on 3 May 2012:
@Moitsokoli, you are telling the truth. For instance the DC rally held in Katlehong (My home town) Tuesday, I can confirm only 6 of us were present in the rally (needless to say non of us are going to vote for DC). Most people we interacted with were from other places like thamae, khubetsoana and the likes. Yet the rally was declared a success in Katlehong. The fools are trying to fool us and they end up fooling them selves.

@ Pit even Malie they should mention his sin’s and they should also tell us if they have enough evidence to convict him and why have they not already, given he is not shy to expose their sins (block farming as an example).
All those who are guilty should pay for their wrongs, so when we become power we cleaning up.

It is a pity and a great shame that Ntate Metsing has put his trust in most corrupt members of LCD, he has literally set himself up for failure whether he wins or not.If he does win and I pray he does he is going to find himself in the same situation as the SA president now facing defeat from within.things are not as kosher as they seem with Malie’s reign on Metsing.i wonder if Mahaletere is not blindsiding LCD by working with oa Taung????

Comment by Iron on 4 May 2012:
@ Pit and Semenkane
Guys i have to defend Malie on this one. Why do you say he is corrupt because a white lady died at his gate.
Can one explain to me where the rumours that Malie is corrupt come from. Somebody out there please, but try to factualise as much as possible.
Comment by Observer on 4 May 2012:
@Pit, which corrupt members of LCD has Metsing aligned himself with? The last time I checked, the people who have serious questions to answer about Block Farming are the likes Mokose who Mosisili has surrounded himself with. Mosisili’s son is a DPS, his daughter-in-law is a PS and his nephews and nieces are in all corners of the world being paid by our taxes. At what point will you recognise this nepotism? In my book, nepotism IS corruption.
Moleleki and Mosisili have been going on for over 5 years about how Malie wants LCD leadership even though Malie has consistently denied those claims and backed up his words through his actions. It is really unfortunate that people like Pit follow Mosisili so blindly that they even refuse to see the truth that is staring them in the face.
Comment by Khatibe on 4 May 2012:
The new LCD has to right the wrongs of the old LCD which was under the leadership of Ntate MCCD. If this means putting to book all those who are corrupt including LCD members, then it has to be done. Justice to all.
@ Pit, there is no way oa Taung is working with Mahaltere, ke metsi le oil those two, they have been involved in a political duel as long as i can remember. Some of the unjustified rumours about them were due to this hatred for each other.
@Pit, just to add to my previous point, what I have observed is that Malie has worked for Lesotho even when outside government. He helped create a company that built the first mall in Lesotho and many Basotho are now shareholders in that company. He is the one that exposed Block Farming and Mosisili’s best response was that Malie is fighting him. Why couldn’t Mosisili take the evidence and initiate an investigation if he is committed to fighting corruption? When Mosisili and Moleleki left LCD, he is the one who stood in broad daylight said good riddance – these are not the actions of someone who is hiding something.
I think Moleleki and Mosisili fear Malie because he stands for the truth and is a strong leader. That is why they focus so much energy on trying to discredit him and convince people that he is controlling Metsing. Sesotho se re ‘nete e mokoka – the truth will eventually come out.

@ Observer i agree with you.
Most people who spread rumours that Malie is corrupt and hungry for power are the same people who have proven to be very corrupt e.g Mahaltere and very power addicted e.g Ntate MCCD.
Observer you forgot to mention that he was the 1st minister of their generation to voluntarily resign from cabinet and that is not the work of a power addicted individual. Furthermore they thought within the new structures of the LCD he would have assumed a position like Mahaltere, but he continues to prove them and all those who believe their lies wrong. Hae fofe hle banna le basali baheso. The only person within the LCD i am worried about is Ntate Finance. And we will sort him out as soon as we have government.

Comment by Dabula Makenze on 4 May 2012:
@ Jomalet, does this mean that anyone who was aroud during your so-called fight for freedom is not entitled to rule this country? C’mon dont be myopia. We wanna get rid of this old men who has clung to power for how-long-I-dont know. Some of them has done evil deeds and they are afraid that if they hand power to somebody else o tla ba tshwara ka letjhoba. Imagine u tlwaetse ho leqetsa eba jwale u se u i’lo tena tse maroon & khaki u lema moroho kapa hona ho betla lejwe!
@Jomalet your line of thought is very disappointing, the fact that you are a freedom fighter does not make you a good governor. We as the nation we do not owe any body anything. If you have not realised, it is the year 2012, and the nature of our struggle has changed, we appreciate your sacrifice and the freedom you provided. But the enemy has changed and we are now fighting for economic freedom, freedom from poverty and things like employment and justice.
Now the reason your mind set is disappointing is thinking the struggle is finished and its time for reward for those who were involved in the fight for freedom prior 1993. No the struggle continues and we need a new wave of change to drive the straggle. God knows we gave the older generation a chance. We need change. We do not owe anybody a chance.

A population of just less than 2 million, around 20 political parties all with similar ideologies, worse still even the bigger parties sing the same song…..really what’s the point.
Its high time that political parties not only be distinguished by different colours or the charisma of their leaders…..its pathetic.
We need political debates on national issues, let the politicians present strategies and propose sound policies for national development and economic growth…..then let the masses decide with a vote which party best represents their interests.

Comment by HHH,
HHH! That’s the spirit and thanks for a good thought. It is high time we recognise and consider ourselves ägents of change”. No foreigner can come here and do it for us…we need to stand up and do it for ourselves.
At one point in time Ireland was a poor country just like ours; Botswana a poor country just like ours; Singapore a poor country just like ours but look at those countries today…and the question is, who did it for them? a foreigner?
If it is by vote that we can be heard then let us go and vote on the 26th May 2012 and bring about the change we all dream of.

@ntate Observer le Ntate Khatibe
i am a card carrying member of LCD always have ever since i could and always will ,i want nothing else but for the LCD to win this coming elections and i have a strong believe that we are going to win ,anything else would spell doom and gloom for our beloved country.I however maintain that that Ntate Metsing has allowed himself to be surrounded by people who have little believe in carrying out the good intentions that Ntate Mokhehle set out.The most recent leadership elections of the LCD is a case in Point Ntate Malie was strong supporting and campaigning for Ntate Metsing to the point of attending radio interviews with him and correct his every statement with Ntate Metsing in agreement.During campaign for Ntate Metsing’s electction my constituancy was told anyone else going up for elections doesnt have good intentions for LCD,the 2 people Up for election with Ntate Metsing were said to be old and not good for the party as they did not resign from government when ntate Metsing and Ntate phooko were sacked.
It is claimed that the New LCD is a young forward looking party and yet we see one of the weakest link in the leadership as deputy to the leader,Ntate Metsing attends Radio interview with the Candidate for Taung……..
I agree with you that Ntate Thahane is a very strong contender for most corrupt,following The Leader and deputy leader of DC,but i maintain the present control to the LCD leadership does not have a clean history when it comes to corruption all i can say is do be wary of the shenanigans within leadership and do encourage NNETE,TOKA, le KHOTSO, HAeeeeeeeeeeeee FOFEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, e fofele holimo limo NTSU kobo kobo…………….

Nna ke ee ke bone bahlomphehi bana bohle bare motho enoa Pakalitha ba sa utloile ka eena, feela nthoe engoe le engoe eo a e etsang ba tla ka morao ba e phethe, e.g, ha etsa house to house, they follow suit, ha a ea lifemng they go ba be nnne ba rome batho ba bona ho bakela PBM likhathatso, ha a ea mmarakeng ba tlo ea. To me that is HERO WORSHIPING, only jelous that he is liked by many. U tatetse puso morena ka; mohlomong ha o ne o ka be o behile pelo sekotlolong, o no tla ithuta malebela a mangata ho bo Pakalitha mme o ne o tla hola secongresseng ebe o oa atleh. as for now you are risking a very short lived political career, or if by some miracle you wer to lead this country you are leading it to doom.

I’m not surprised. It is a known fact that Mosisili is the most corrupt leader Lesotho ever had; turning the public service into his personal tuck shop, appointing his relatives into senior positions and overseeing the most corrupt administration ever in the history of our fatherland. But instead of Metsing and his LCD exposing this man and those who looted this country with him; he goes on singing Mosisili’s praises, telling us how good a leader he was. Actually Metsing goes to Qachasnek in Mosisilis stronghold and indirectly campaigns for a rival. In this campaign, I have personally not heard anything of substance from these politicians. There are no clear cut policies to counter the rampant poverty and joblessness coupled with hunger currently making a permanent home in the lives of the Basotho. Our politicians are busy discrediting each other with no relevance to the real issues affecting us. Basotho need a government that is going to deliver; that is going to fight corruption and bring those who have stolen to book. A government that is going to revive agriculture, education and uplifting of our live. Therefore; don’t be surprised, whoever or whatever party is elected, there won’t be any changes to our lives as we failed as the electorate to engage this clowns in real policy issues.

Good and wise words from Ntate Metsing. It would be worthwhile to give him all the benefit of doubt. I mean, LCD clearly messed up particularly during the dying hours of its reign (remember its no longer ruling, its DC now). The big consolation is the fact that, the current LCD leader (Metsing) wasn’t the ship captain, and was just one of the many assistants & Ntate Mosisili was the captain. Thus, I think the guy is demonstrating a hell-lot of wisdom, in his speeches if course, and it wouldnt be a problem to take him seriously for once.
