	Lesotho's Premier Blames U.S. for Pretoria's Aggression
		Jonathan accused Pretoria of supporting guerrillas and invoking economic sanctions to force him to evict South African refugees opposed to white rule there and to compel him to grant diplomatic recognition to the homelands being established for fls within South Africa.
		Jonathan, whose house is less than a mile from the border, said South Africa had trained and financed members of the antigovernment Lesotho Liberation Army--a charge Pretoria has denied strongly--and said the insurgents had attempted at least four attacks on his home in recent months.
		Jonathan today recalled the good relations he enjoyed with the late South African prime minister Hendrik Verwoerd, who during his term in the early 1960s was an architect of apartheid, South Africa's system of racial segregation.

	History of Lesotho
		Under the leadership of Prime Minister Chief Leabua Jonathan[?], the ruling Basotho National Party (BNP) refused to cede power to the rival Basotholand Congress Party[?] (BCP), although the BCP was widely believed to have won the elections.
		Citing election irregularities, Prime Minister Leabua Jonathan nullified the elections, declared a national state of emergency, suspended the constitution, and dissolved the Parliament.
		In addition to the Jonathan regime's alienation of Basotho powerbrokers and the local population, South Africa had virtually closed the country's land borders because of Lesotho support of cross-border operations of the African National Congress (ANC).

		What was lost in all the speculation was that the takeover marked the end of 20 years of often brutal repression by Prime Minister Leabua Jonathan.
		The royalists were unhappy with Jonathan's treatment of King Moshoeshoe II, and the influential churches were becoming increasingly nervous about the former primer about the former prime minister's flirtation with the communist countries, particularly North Korea.

	LESWATER
		Lesotho's prime minister, Leabua Jonathan, agreed to establish a joint security committee with South Africa but refused to round-up and extradite ANC leaders.
		Before his ouster, Jonathan's government was ready to concede virtually everything to South Africa on the issue of ANC attacks across the border, except for the expulsion of those he deemed legitimate political refugees, in order to end the crisis.
		No lives were lost in the coup that toppled Jonathan's government, and the deaths incurred during the commando operations and cross-border attacks are more appropriately attributed to the conflict over apartheid rather than the concurrent environmental crisis.

		There was growing South African pressure to sign a non-aggression treaty with Pretoria, similar to the agreements that the apartheid regime had signed with Swaziland and Mozambique.
		The Prime Minister, Leabua Jonathan was against the treaty, but due to Lesotho's economic dependence on South Africa he was forced to be more flexible.
		But even these tough measures did not satisfy Pretoria and on January 20 1986, a military coup toppled Leabua Jonathan, and General Justin Lekhanya, head of Lesotho's paramilitary forces, led the Military Committee that replaced him.

		He fails to mention her shabby treatment of the heir, who became Moshoeshoe II, and his mother, or that many members of the Progressive Association perceived her to be an inappropriate leader whose diffidence had fatally weakened the institution of the paramountcy.
		Epprecht explores thoroughly the ways in which misogyny within the Basutoland Congress Party leadership, combined with the political engagement of the Catholic kopano, the Ladies of Sainte-Anne, influenced the outcome of the 1965 General Election and permitted Chief Leabua Jonathan to become prime minister.
		However Epprecht's failure to situate gender among the mass of other salient issues in the campaign causes him to portray that factor as the decisive variable and to underestimate the importance of the intense debate about the appropriate relationship that an independent Lesotho would have with South Africa.
