Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, in his capacity as the facilitator of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), will today continue with his facilitation efforts to bring political stability in Lesotho.

The facilitator, who arrived in Lesotho on Tuesday, is in the kingdom to help create dialogue among all Lesotho's political and other role players with a view to addressing their current political and security challenge.

The Deputy President has been pushing the role players in Lesotho to bring forward elections, reconvene parliament as well as stabilise the security situation in that country.

He is supported by SADC Deputy Executive Secretary, Themba Mhlongo, who is leading the regional body's team of experts and members of the Secretariat including Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana.

The country has been in turmoil since an attempted coup on August 30. Prime Minister Tom Thabane fled to South Africa and Lesotho police officer Mokheseng Ramahloko was killed during the attempted overthrow.
