How is it that a country as vast and established as Lesotho has no fire extinguishers readily available on the roads?

I will fight tooth and nail for this country, Lesotho deserves better, and I will not rest until we achieve a government that puts people first.

We will flex our muscles against Liabiloe until she either commits suicide or flees to exile, but we can attain this through collaboration as Basotho.

We need the police as our strength, as the pillar of national safety, but the government has corrupted this institution. It is being used to intimidate instead of serve.

We are going to push for change. It is time for new beginnings. It is time for change; vote wisely for a better future, vote SR. I thank you for remaining faithful to the revolution. That is a sign that you hope for change.
