On the Discourse this morning, we turn our attention to Lesotho, a day after the Kingdom celebrated 60 years of independence from British colonial rule. The milestone comes as the country navigates a number of challenges, while celebrating many achievements. From political and economic reforms to efforts to strengthen regional integration, Lesotho has made important strides since gaining independence in 1966. Yet the country continues to grapple with unemployment, poverty, economic vulnerability and political instability. As Lesotho looks ahead, questions remain about how it can unlock its economic potential, strengthen institutions and create greater opportunities for its people. To look at the Kingdom's independence journey, its place in Africa and its hopes for the future, we spoke to Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations of Lesotho, Limpho Justice Tau
