AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Solar & Digital Infrastructure: A new analysis says Africa’s solar boom is largely “hidden” because much of the growth is in distributed systems that don’t show up in official stats, while WIOCC secured a combined $300m to expand fibre, data centres and subsea assets across Africa. Textiles & Jobs: Trade and Industry Minister Motlatsi Maqelepo ordered the LNDC to probe labour issues at Precious Garments after workers protested reduced hours, wages and delayed payments. AI Skills: A Maseru workshop is set to train Basotho entrepreneurs and professionals on practical AI use for business and the digital economy. Local Industry Push: Sechaba Milling and ZMG Isuzu launched the Independence Drive 1000 expedition to showcase what Lesotho can build, produce and move. Food & Farming Innovation: Aeroponics is being promoted as a year-round, land-light farming approach for Lesotho’s youth. Consumer Safety: Woolworths and the NCC issued a recall of w.beauty clarifying shampoo after bacteria were found; affected buyers should stop using and return for refunds. Security & Trade Compliance: Lesotho’s police were ordered to return a 500kg medicinal cannabis consignment worth M1.2m after a court ruled the seizure unlawful.
