South African deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa touched down in Maseru, the Lesotho capital, on Thursday to broker peace in the mountain kingdom.

“During his visit, deputy president Ramaphosa is expected mainly to brief key political and other stakeholders on the terms of reference for the establishment of the SADC-led commission of inquiry into recent developments in the country,” Ramaphosa’s office said in a statement.

Ramaphosa was deployed as facilitator of the peace and stability process by the Southern African Development Community after three opposition leaders fled the country last month.

They fled after former Lesotho Defence Force commander Brigadier Maarparankoe Mahao was shot dead in his home, allegedly by soldiers.

“In pursuance of the objective of his visit, deputy president Ramaphosa will thus outline the terms of reference of the commission of inquiry to His Majesty King Letsie III during his courtesy call and further brief Prime Minister Phakalitha Mosisili, members of the opposition political parties, Council of Churches of Lesotho, College of Chiefs, NGO sector including business as well as members of the Law Society.”
