Lesotho opposition leader survives assassination attempt

The leader of an opposition party in Lesotho, Machesetsa Mofomobe, who was shot twice last week in a failed assassination attempt, has vowed to continue exposing senior government officials involved in corruption in his country even if it means he must pay with his life.
 
In an exclusive interview with Sunday World, the Basotho National Party (BNP) leader thanked God for giving him a second chance so he could continue fighting for his people.
“They want to kill me for constantly exposing government ministers involved in corrupt activities in my country,” he said.
 
Mofomobe was shot twice last Friday, outside his home in Maseru, while walking his best friend, Mohato Seleke, to his car around 9pm.
