Qacha's Nek __ In a bid to give back to the community, Lebakeng Development Trust (LDT) will celebrate Moshoeshoe's Day with a special event at Matseka Primary School in Tebellong on March 7, 2025.

The celebration will feature sports, contests, and traditional dances, bringing together students from Tebellong’s primary schools: Matseka, Tiisetsong, Mahabe, as well as Tebellong High School.

In an interview with the Agency, LDT Coördinator Mr. Mosiuoa Moholeli shared that the event will include awards for students who excelled in the seventh-grade category at Matseka Primary School. Additionally, school uniforms will be distributed to children from underprivileged households in Ha Mapote, while food will be provided to families in need, along with meals for the elderly.

“This will be our second annual celebration, and we’ve seen tremendous growth compared to last year’s event, which was held at Ha Mohlapiso, Pepeneneng Primary School. Last year, we focused on one school, providing school uniforms, bags, and planting trees. This year, we’ve expanded to include more schools, and we will also distribute food parcels to 20 vulnerable families,” Moholeli explained.

Representatives from the Ministry of Education and Training, Ministry of Home Affairs, and other organizations are expected to attend and offer services to the community, particularly those unable to attend due to challenges such as poverty, illness, or disability.

LDT, a community development initiative founded in 2024 by a Ha-Mapote native who also serves as the Ambassador of Lesotho to Ethiopia, is dedicated to improving the well-being of the people of Lebakeng constituency.
