AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

US–Lesotho trade ties: The US Africa Command’s envoy Robert Scott reaffirmed strong US–Lesotho friendship despite tariff-linked job losses, flagging cooperation on border security (including possible drone use) and disaster-response coordination. Lesotho–World Bank financing: Lesotho signed three World Bank agreements worth over M840m to expand clean energy access, boost skills development, and improve nutrition outcomes. Digital connectivity for policing: Starlink is now active in Lesotho, with satellite internet rolled out for the police and remote areas after a 10-year licence granted in April 2025. Youth and AI for business: Lesotho launched an AI Skills Development Programme for youth enterprises, linking e-commerce and AI tools to the Sebabatso initiative’s jobs and revenue gains. Fuel price clarity: Officials moved to dispel confusion over the Petroleum Fund’s role as a pricing and supply-chain monitor—not a fuel supplier—as transport fares and basic goods rise. Regional cooperation: Botswana and Lesotho vowed to deepen partnership through a binational commission focused on water, energy, trade, investment, agriculture and infrastructure. Migration pressure in the region: South Africa’s Sherwood Hall in Durban has become a large migrant holding site amid anti-foreigner tensions, with thousands waiting for processing and repatriation.
