In our article dated 20th November 2007 under the heading “Gender Violence – Responsibility for all – Gender Minister”, there was a typographic error in the second paragraph where it is wrongly stated that the Honourable Minister of Gender, Youth, Sports and Recreation was addressing the press on the sixteen (16) days of Activism against Gender campaign. The correct statement is that the Honourable Minister was addressing the press on sixteen (16) days of Activism against Gender Violence. We regret the error and apologise to the Honourable Minister and all parties affected by the error.

Furthermore we have also been informed by the relevant authority that it is not correct that the Principal Secretary for the Ministry of Gender, Youth, Sports and Recreation will lead the Lesotho Delegation to the World Cup Draw as stated in our article dated 20th November 2007. We have been informed that the true state of affairs is that the World Cup Draw is a FIFA Event and delegations to such events are led by national football associations hence in our case the delegation will be led by Lesotho Football Association (LEFA). In the same article, it is further wrongly stated that the Lesotho Delegation will comprise of, among other delegates, consultants from the United States of America. We once again regret the mistakes and apologise to the Principal Secretary, LEFA and all parties affected by the mistakes.
