Leseli ka sepolesa is a mouthpiece of the Lesotho Mounted
Police Service (LMPS) and is a non profit making newspaper, sold at M3, 00
per copy. It reports in Sesotho though plans are in line to write some of
the pages in English. It is published by the Commissioner of police and
printed by the Government printers through the Total Printers which is a
privately owned company.
The paper’s primary goals are to
educate and inform target audience about the evils of crime and how the
public could form a coalition with the police to combat the scourge of
crime and give evidence before the courts of law.
The paper is a
subsidiary of the Press Unit. The unit that falls under ACP
Operational Services has various
other arms to help discharge its mandate and they are the Designing,
Printing, Video productions and Typesetting sections. An Inspector, who is
the Editor in chief, heads the unit and immediately below him is a
Sergeant who is the Editor. A Trooper is the Sub Editor while other
Troopers are reporters.
At the moment, the paper is
published fortnightly and is 16 paged, but the plan is to turn it into a
weekly with 32 pages. It provides maximum coverage of most criminal
activities and scenes in and around the capital Maseru
, as well as in the other nine districts of the country.
Each district, with the exception of
Mokhotlong and Thaba-Tseka has a reporter stationed there. The paper was
printed in black and white for a long period of time until recently when
some of the pages were done in full colour. Another important development
that the unit underwent lately was the introduction of a full colour
newsletter ‘The Polchronicle,’ which has since been turned into a
quarterly magazine. The magazine is reported and edited by the same staff
that puts Leseli ka Sepolesa together.
