Mohale’s Hoek, September. 23— His Majesty King Letsie III has on Saturday congratulated the winner of King’s Royal Cup Mr.Jonase Mokwena from Qwa-Qwa, whose horse scooped a cup and a whooping M 6,000. 00.
King Letsie III who confessed his deepest love for horse horsing stated he was reluctant when organizers approached him about this event some months ago, as he was not sure if Basotho still have horses which could run the race, however noted there is still a long way to go in terms of managing this game. His Majesty further pleaded with authorities to construct an appropriate race course whereby spectators will watch without any obstruction, as the one in the district is not applicable.
