AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Kobong Investment Deal: Lesotho has secured a record US$6.2bn foreign investment after approval of the Kobong Project—hydropower plus an AI data centre—backed by U.S. firm Convalt, with officials saying it could shift the country from electricity importer to regional exporter and create jobs. Maseru City Leadership: Maseru City Council removed Mayor Relebohile Sechache after a motion of no confidence, electing Councillor Thabo Sefuthi as mayor and Maboletsi Potiane as deputy mayor amid claims of governance and travel-related disputes. Women’s Football Draw: Lesotho Defence Force will face tough rivals in the CAF Women’s Champions League/COSAFA qualifiers in Botswana, with the draw placing them in Group A alongside Gaborone United and Zimbabwe’s Herentals Queens. Sports Spotlight: Neheng Khatala won her first Totalsports Women’s Race title in Durban, clocking 32:06 in windy conditions—setting up a strong Lesotho presence for the Cape Town race. Anti-Trafficking Warning: Talitha Kum says modern trafficking is increasingly cyber-enabled and evolving, urging stronger action as online scams and conflict-driven vulnerability fuel exploitation. Weather Watch: Forecasters warn of a major cold system over the Women’s Day weekend, with snow most likely around the Maloti-Drakensberg and the Lesotho border.
