His Majesty King Letsie III congratulated people who have participated in the 2019 Annual Moshoeshoe Walk from Menkhoaneng in Leribe to Thaba-Bosiu in Maseru, which started last Thursday and ended on Saturday last weekend.

The King said the annual walk shows corporation among Basotho, and corporation between Lesotho and other neighboring countries.

He said during the journey from Menkhoaneng to Thaba-Bosiu, he saw the spirit of corporation, spirit of empathy and spirit of tolerance which are rare to find in everyday life in respective societies.

He explained that this is something that he admires the most with this event, and encouraged the participants to go back to their various homes and countries to practice this spirit in their families, marriages and their places of work.

“We continue to empathize, continue to be tolerant, continue to be helpable to each other as we walk Moshoeshoe’s walk.” He stated.

In his remarks he also said; “This will help us particularly here in Lesotho to rebuild our nation, to re-build the spirit of corporation, and we hope it is the spirit that we will inject in our deliberation as we go in this exercise of reforms.” 

He also encouraged local chiefs and other civil society leaders, who have had the experience of reforms process, to lead by example during this period of reforms process.
