Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on the Law and Public Safety Cluster has pledged to recommend an increase in funding for the Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS), citing resource shortages that police management says are undermining the force’s ability to carry out its mandate.
The commitment follows a closed-door meeting with Ministry of Home Affairs and Police senior leadership to discuss operational challenges facing the police.
The Central Bank of Lesotho (CBL) and the Competitiveness and Financial Inclusion (CAFI) project have launched campaigns to expand access to business finance and promote the growth of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
The campaigns aim to raise awareness of financial services and encourage entrepreneurs to use movable assets as collateral to secure loans, particularly those who do not own land or other immovable property.

Every day, countless people live with mental health challenges. Some struggle in silence, burdened by stigma and discrimination. Others find strength in sharing their experiences, turning adversity into hope and inspiring change.
As Lesotho joins the world in commemorating World Mental Health Day 2026 under the theme, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” we recognize the courage and resilience of those who have navigated mental health challenges.
Their voices are essential in shaping a more inclusive, compassionate, and responsive mental health system.
In this documentary, we hear directly from people with lived experience, their families, health workers, and advocates.
Their stories challenge stigma, foster understanding, and remind us of the importance of creating a society where seeking help is encouraged, support is accessible, and every voice is heard and valued.

The Lesotho Electricity and Water Authority (LEWA) has withdrawn its approval of revised Water and Sewerage Company (WASCO) connection charges. The charges had been scheduled to take effect from November 1, 2026.
“In processing the application, the Authority found that the approval process did not complete all the procedural and regulatory requirements that apply to determining charges for regulated water services,” the notice read.
