Advocate Phafoli says their names and that of their countries of  origin,  shall be announced after their engagement and the judges  shall abide  in Lesotho for  24 months
 
This appears to be a  just response to  a request made by the Mahao family to the government of Lesotho, to adopt external judges to conduct  the hearing of thier kindred 's case Lieutenant General Maaparankoe Mahao, who was murdered along Koro -Koro road on his way to Maseru  from Mokema his home in  June 2015 ,  his death shocked  the world  and  the former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon issued a statement to condemn the murder of the   Lieutenant General  demanding  a full investigation.of his death.

The SADC set up a special commission of inquiry, led by High Court Judge of Botswana Mphaphi Phumaphi whose  proceedings divulged general Mahao's murderers;
meanwhile his family is suing the former prime-minister of Lesotho Dr.Pakalitha Mosisisli and former army commander lieutenant general Tlali Kamoli for his murder.
