Rustenburg – More bloody clashes can be expected in the Lesotho parliament if wool and mohair regulations are not amended, the opposition Movement for Economic Change (MEC) has said.<\/p>\n

According to Lesotho Times, MEC leader Selibe Mochoboroane told a rally at Ha-Makhalanyane in Thaba-Bosiu this week, that parliament had lost its power and independence to the executive and urged Basotho to fight to restore its integrity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

His statements followed clashes in parliament two weeks ago in which he sustained a head injury.<\/p>\n

Opposition MPs had been angered by the government\u2019s failure to table proposed amendments to its restrictive wool and mohair regulations. They resorted to disrupting proceedings.<\/p>\n

The opposition wanted to have wool and mohair regulations introduced by prime minister Thomas Thabane\u2019s coalition, restricting farmers from selling their wool and mohair to select buyers scrapped.<\/p>\n
