A new Prime Minister has been sworn into office in Lesotho after embattled Thomas Thabane formally resigned following months of pressure over his alleged involvement in the murder of his estranged wife.
Moeketsi Majoro, the country’s Finance Minister took his oath of office at the palace of King Letsie III in the capital Maseru with his predecessor in attendance but Moeketsi did not give a speech.
Thabane officially offered his resignation on Tuesday morning, three months after police named him and his current wife Maesaiah as suspects in the murder of his former spouse, Lipolelo.
