Lesotho is developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) aimed at ensuring that weather and climate warnings do more than alert people to approaching hazards—they must also clearly guide institutions, communities and other stakeholders on what action to take and when.

The SOPs development is part of the Impact-Based Forecasting and Warning System (IBFWS) Initiative/ActionFirst Lesotho Co-Production Project. The process seeks to translate the results of earlier co-production activities into practical procedures for Action-Based Forecasting (ABF), with a strong focus on connecting forecasts to early action.

The proposed procedures are expected to clarify institutional responsibilities, strengthen the issuance and dissemination of warnings, link forecast thresholds to specific early actions, and establish coordination and feedback mechanisms stretching from national institutions to districts and communities.

The Activity 3: SOPs Drafting, Review and Endorsement workshop is being held in Mafeteng from September 14 to 18, 2026, with stakeholders reviewing and testing the proposed procedures before they are finalised and endorsed.

Speaking to Uncensored News on the sidelines of the workshop on 15 September 2026, Moahloli Ntele, Lesotho Meteorological Services (LMS) Head of Research and Innovation Development and the IBFWS National Coordinator, said the SOPs are needed to turn the country's Impact-Based Forecasting work into clear procedures that institutions can practically follow.

When Lerato McPherson first held his child in his arms after he was born on 13 June 2026, he never imagined that the child would need a liver transplant less than three months later.

Initially, nurses at St Joseph’s Clinic in Abia, Maseru, thought the child was suffering from jaundice, a common condition that causes a yellow colouring of a newborn baby’s skin and eyes.

But within three months of the child’s birth, doctors in Bloemfontein, South Africa, diagnosed the child with biliary atresia – a rare liver condition that affects newborns and infants. It occurs when the bile ducts become inflamed and blocked or fail to form correctly.

“I have a three-month-old baby born on 13 June 2026. He was born with a yellow colouring, like when some children are diagnosed with jaundice. The clinic told us to put him out in the sun and that he would be fine,” McPherson told Uncensored News.

But things took a serious turn when the child was about two months old, on 14 August 2026. The child fell seriously ill and was rushed to St Joseph’s Clinic, which immediately transferred him to Maseru Regional Hospital.

“When we got to Maseru Regional Hospital, they just looked at him and said he needs to be attended to by Queen ‘Mamohato Memorial Hospital (QMMH). He was admitted for a week and a half with his mother, with QMMH trying to treat him until they said he needed to be transferred to Bloemfontein.

“When they got to Bloemfontein, it was discovered that my child’s gut is underdeveloped and that bile is overflowing into the liver. That has damaged my child’s liver. The liver is beyond repair. My child needs a liver transplant,” McPherson said.

He said they were discharged back to Maseru, and QMMH told them that it does not perform transplants and could not refer the child to any hospital. The parents were advised to seek help from private doctors or provide palliative care until the child dies.

The child has been given about a year to either get a liver transplant or die. Desperate for his child to live, McPherson turned to the internet to research how other parents had dealt with a similar issue. He came across a post by a mother whose child was diagnosed with a similar condition in 2022 and had turned to the Lilaphalapha page for help.

“I took her contacts, talked to her and asked if the child is still alive. She said there was one Johannesburg hospital that required M1.5 million back in 2022 to carry out the transplant. She said the Ministry of Health assisted with hospital bills and accommodation in India. She said they were told to cater for plane tickets,” McPherson said.

Hanging on to this possibility, McPherson has written to the Ministry of Health, asking for assistance to keep his child alive.

“I have written to the Ministry of Health and I want to know, on whose doors should I also knock and ask for help? I do not even know how because I am still not sure where the ministry will help or to what extent.”

Mahlao Maema is a cook and a member of Slow Food Lesotho. She cooks indigenous foods and advocates for clean eating because, “when you look at these diseases, you will see that many of the things behind these lifestyle diseases is also the way we eat, our lifestyle.”

Maema challenges you to know where your food comes from because the way your food is produced matters.

"If you are eating healthy, your carrots and lettuce, but they are genetically modified or grown using pesticides, then you are almost consuming the very same pesticides used to produce your healthy foods."

She also touches on the role of Slow Food Lesotho in the Meatless Monday campaign in Lesotho.

Persons with Disability Advisory Council (PWDAC) Chairperson, 'Matšepiso Mokhoromeng, has urged 28 journalists undergoing a two-day training on inclusive reporting to ensure that issues affecting persons with disabilities are incorporated into their everyday reporting.

Mokhoromeng said inclusive reporting can contribute to positive behavioural change among Basotho by ensuring that people with disabilities are represented when journalists educate the nation on various issues.

She said journalists should highlight the barriers faced by persons with disabilities and ensure their inclusion in discussions on national issues.

Mokhoromeng made the remarks on 9 September 2026 at the start of the two-day training organised by PWDAC in collaboration with MISA-Lesotho.
