“The resolution is there that Lesotho must be given its country back” Lesotho is a country which – seen on the map – is very unusual. It is surrounded like an island on all sides by South Africa – meaning if it imports goods by road they have to be brought in via its bigger neighbour. But Lesotho’s parliament is soon to debate whether the country should demand land back from South Africa.

The motion was brought by the small Lesotho Covenant Movement party – which says it has approached the United Nations and that this is a historical matter that should have been attended to decades ago.

But is this just political posturing or a serious demand? And what chance does it stand of becoming a reality?

Presenter: Alan Kasujja Guests: Tseliso Monaheng, Kenneth Matee and Clayson Monyela
