Maseru, July 24 — Minister of Local Government and Chieftainship, Home Affairs and Police Mr Lebona Lephema is not ready to give up on the fight against killings perpetrated by gangs renowned for wearing blankets.
In his statement he made in the National Assembly on Wednesday, the Minister said banning of blankets is not necessarily denying Basotho from wearing their blankets but measures in place to curb the unnecessary killings.
He said these gangs are renowned by wearing certain blankets and woollen hats who kill each other mercilessly using illegal firearms. . .
