AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Hydropower + AI investment: Lesotho has signed a binding $6.2bn (98bn maloti) deal with Convalt Energy for the 1,200MW Kobong Hydropower and AI Data Centre project in Mokhotlong—aimed at boosting energy independence, creating jobs, and powering green digital infrastructure (with feasibility and regulatory steps still ahead). Regional trade ties: Dubai Chambers met Lesotho’s Prime Minister Samuel Ntsokoane Matekane in Johannesburg to explore stronger trade and investment links, including a proposed Dubai–Lesotho business forum. Connectivity for schools: Senekane Primary in Berea received a new telecommunications tower and kitchen, with Econet Telecom Lesotho saying improved coverage will support digital services and mobile money for rural communities. Digital skills push: Maseru hosted the Digital Innovators Summit urging Basotho youth to embrace technology and AI for development, while noting government efforts to digitise water systems. Public finance accountability: Lesotho’s Ministry of Finance will start training ministries on asset registration from June 15 after Auditor General reports flagged gaps in government asset registers. Security + jobs pressure: South Africa’s renewed anti-migrant unrest continues to trigger regional advisories, with Lesotho among countries urging citizens to stay vigilant. Water safety concern: A global assessment warns unsafe drinking water remains a major health risk, with many African countries among the lowest-ranked.
