Lesotho ruling party calls for prime minister Thabane’s resignation

Lesotho´s ruling party has described the country’s Prime Minister Thomas Thabane as a threat to the nation.

The party has also asked him to resign over alleged links to the 2017 murder of his wife.

The country’s police chief accused Thabane of involvement in the killing of Lipolelo Thabane.

The incident happened two days before her husband´s inauguration.

The accusations came after the prime minister suspended police commissioner Holomo Molibeli whose investigations revealed that communication records from the day of the murder picked up Thabane’s mobile phone number.
