Maseru_The Lesotho’s swimming platforms on Monday woke up to mourn the death of the Head Coach of open water swimming.

Speaking in an interview with the Agency on Monday, the Public Relations Officer of the Lesotho Swimmers Association Mr. Tabane Ramainoane said that the head coach of the open water swimming Mr. Mohanela Malebanye is reported to have passed away on Sunday.

He said that according to the information that they received, the deceased is reported to have been stabbed with a sharp object in one bar in Maseru East adding that an autopsy report is yet to confirm the cause of death.

He indicated that as swimmers in Lesotho they had hoped for more from the deceased especially with his skills that he gained from his Sports and Physical education skills that he got from Cuba.

Mr. Ramainoane said that the Lesotho swimmers were also still hoping that Mr. Malebanye will bring change in the swimming games in Lesotho while also taking Lesotho to greater heights as swimming is one of the least supported games.
