On Wednesday, lawmakers in Lesotho met to discuss whether the country should seek to reclaim large pieces of land from South Africa, which was forcibly seized by the apartheid government.

Tsepo Lipholo, an opposition MP aims to declare the Free State and parts of four other provinces 'Lesotho's territory'. Friedman adds that Lipholo's party, Basotho Covenant Movement, has continuously campaigned on land issues. In previous interviews, Lipholo said that 'history has a record of what was taken from our people and that people were killed in the process. It is time to correct that'. Friedman notes that there has been a lot of attraction on Twitter, mostly of people finding humour in the situation.
