Lesotho Leader Defies Arrest Threat, Vows to Reclaim Land from South Africa

Dr Tšepo Lipholo, leader of the Basotho Covenant Movement (BCM), says he will not stop his campaign to take back land from South Africa. He claims South Africa took the territory illegally from Lesotho. Lipholo vows to continue his mission despite what he calls intimidation, possible arrest, and pressure from his own government. He says nothing will stop him. The disputed land in question is not specified in his statement. The governments of Lesotho and South Africa have not yet publicly responded to his latest declaration.
