]]> Renegade Lesotho general Tlali Kamoli, who made an abortive power-grab at the end of August , has quit the mountain kingdom with his pension.

Two other senior officers from the military and police have also gone into exile in various African countries.

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa welcomes the officers’departure to Uganda, Sudan and Algeria

The SADC-mandated facilitator for Lesotho says it’s in line with the decision taken by regional heads of state meeting in Pretoria following the failed coup that sent Prime Minister TomThabane briefly into exile in South Africa.

Ramaphosa calls this an important confidence building measure on the road to returning Lesotho to security and stability.

He says it will add to the creation of a climate conducive for elections due in the kingdom in three months.

Ramaphosa will be back in Lesotho next week talking to political players about that poll.
