Monyela said regarding the situation in Lesotho, the meeting is expected to focus on several issues, including the deployment of the Oversight Committee which has visited Lesotho several times since its operationalisation in November 2016 and the return to Lesotho by opposition leaders who were in exile in South Africa. The former Prime Minister, Dr. Thomas Thabane, and other opposition leaders returned to Lesotho on February 12.
