AGP Executive Report

Last update: a few seconds ago

Commonwealth Games (Glasgow) — Lesotho’s boxing medal push: Rapelang Maselela booked a women’s 57kg semi-final spot, guaranteeing at least bronze and making history as the first Mosotho woman to reach the medal stage at the Games; she joins Pooana Khoahli, who also advanced to the semi-finals, meaning Lesotho is assured of at least two boxing bronzes after a 20-year drought since 2006. Commonwealth Games (Glasgow) — Athletics spotlight: Former record-holder Mosito Lehata says Mojela Koneshe’s best is still coming after Koneshe smashed the national 100m record with 10.07 in the heats. Health — Blood shortage warning: Health Minister Mamokete Ntšekhe urged Basotho to donate blood regularly, warning that preventable deaths are linked to emergency transfusion shortages. Water — Siltation threatens dams: Authorities say silt build-up is increasingly endangering Lesotho’s dams, with Rasebale Dam rehabilitation underway using a new dredging machine. Finance — SGK scam fallout: Reports say FNB staff helped recruits open bank accounts at SGK offices even as the bank later issued a scam alert, as victims claim they lost millions in the collapsed pyramid scheme. Digital inclusion — Econet & UNDP: Econet Telecom Lesotho and UNDP renewed a partnership to drive digital transformation and AI. Mobile investing — Vodacom M-Pesa: Vodacom launched Tsetela, letting eligible customers invest small amounts from M-Pesa wallets into managed funds. Youth & education — Scholarships abroad: Kick4Life Juventude players Thabo Motsopa and Bafokeng Ntšeno secured overseas scholarships, adding to a growing pipeline of student-athletes. Trade — US duty-free relief: Lesotho’s garment exports regained duty-free access to the US after a temporary tariff measure expired, protecting thousands of textile jobs.
