Johannesburg - Lesotho Prime Minister Tom Thabane confirmed Saturday that the military had seized power in a coup and that he had fled to neighbouring South Africa in fear of his life.

“I have been removed from control not by the people but by the armed forces, and that is illegal,” Thabane told the BBC.
