The Morija Community has raised concerns over nepotism regarding employment at some government ministries, which has brought hatred amongst Basotho.
One of the villagers Mr. Relebohile Kalaka said, the increasing numbers of unemployment together with the impacts of COVID-19 have promted people especially the youth to resort to stealing and other criminal activities, saying these have brought hatred amongst each other, where in some cases, those who have benefited are often killed.
Kalaka singled out the Ministry of Home Affairs’ department of National Identity and Civil Registry and Livestock Registration, as the ministry where nepotism is rampant, since it does not employ all Basotho youth, but only those who are affiliated to certain political parties.
However, the Minister of Home Affairs Mr. Motlalentoa Letsosa denied allegations of nepotism levelled against his ministry.
