]]> Four regional leaders, including Prime Minister Thomas Thabane, are sitting down in Pretoria tonight to discuss the continued tension in Lesotho.
The meeting hosted by President Jacob Zuma, follows the inability of political leaders in the mountain kingdom to meet last Friday’s deadline to name a date for  reconvening parliament he’s had shuttered since June.
Intro ends
Botswana’s President Ian Khama and his Zimbabwean counterpart Robert Mugabe make up the leaders’ foursome at the SADC summit Pretoria.
Tanzania, Namibia and Malawi have their duty heads of government or foreign ministers present.
First prize tonight to getting Thabane to name a date for  reopening parliament. If he persists that a renegade general with stolen weapons is making this impossible a full summit of SADC’s 15 leaders could be called by the current regional chairman  Mugabe later this week.
