AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

SADC Trade Facilitation: SADC is pushing to simplify border procedures under its Simplified Trade Regime, aiming to cut costs and ease cross-border commerce for small-scale traders across member states including Lesotho. Lesotho–Botswana Water Security: ORASECOM has opened a Lesotho-Botswana Water Transfer Project Management Office in Maseru, a key step toward regional water supply planning and jobs. Food Production Push: Prime Minister Ntsokoane Matekane handed over 150+ tractors and farming machines to youth, women, associations and subsidised farmers to boost food security. Public Procurement Reform: The Lesotho Public Procurement Authority is sensitising suppliers and contractors on how to use complaints mechanisms under the 2023 Public Procurement Act. LHWC Leadership Tension: Government is divided over whether Masupha Sole should stay on as principal advisor at the Lesotho Highlands Water Commission as his contract expires. Maseru Night Economy Debate: A critique says Lesotho has spent over M200m on streetlights while Maseru’s night-time commercial activity remains weak, raising value-for-money questions. Regional Labour Shock (Textiles & Farms): South Africa’s migrant exodus is leaving factories and farms short-staffed, with garment makers reporting idle sewing lines and harvest delays that also affect Lesotho-linked workers. Climate & Water Risk: Namibia warns El Niño could worsen water shortages in the Orange-Senqu basin, urging stronger basin-wide planning with Lesotho and others. Eastern Cape Weather Disruption: South Africa’s Eastern Cape faces disruptive snow warnings, with knock-on risks for transport and livelihoods across the region.
