Newly elected Lesotho Prime Minister Sam Matekane took oath of office on Friday during a ceremony at Maseru’s Sesoto Stadium witnessed by thousands of Basotho and several African heads of state and government.

There is a feeling of optimism in Lesotho following last week’s parliamentary elections that produced an unlikely winner in Sam Matekane, a wealthy businessman known for his philanthropic work who campaigned his way to state house on a ticket to rid the country of crime and corruption.
