AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

CBL Rate Hike: Lesotho’s Central Bank raised the Central Bank Rate by 25 basis points to 6.75% after rising global uncertainty and fuel-price pressures threatened inflation and external reserves. Waste Crisis: The Ombudsman says 80% of Lesotho’s waste is unmanaged, with illegal dumping and open burning driving public health risks—especially around healthcare waste and needle injuries. Arts Closure: Serumula Performing Arts Academy has shut down after 19 years, citing worsening economic conditions, debts, and unsustainable funding. Civic Education Push: The IEC launched a Civic and Voter Education Strategy and voter registration programme in Maseru, aiming for informed participation ahead of upcoming elections. GBV Support Moves Forward: UNFPA says Lesotho’s GBV Centre is now operational, with victims receiving counselling and psychosocial support, while media training urges more ethical GBV reporting. Music & Culture: Youth creativity took centre stage at Eswatini’s Bushfire Schools Festival, led by heritage expert Allington Ndlovu, as performances and storytelling set the tone for the MTN Bushfire main event. Travel Inspiration (Lesotho): A new Africa Month travel feature spotlights Lesotho as the “Kingdom in the Sky,” highlighting Sani Pass, Maletsunyane Falls, and highland adventures.
