Johannesburg - South African Deputy President and SADC facilitator Cyril Ramaphosa will return to Lesotho to consolidate the implementation of recently signed agreements in the country, the Presidency said on Monday.
Ramaphosa would visit on Tuesday to oversee the implementation of provisions of the signed security and political agreements, it said.
This would be his eighth visit to Lesotho since the signing of the Maseru Facilitation Declaration and the Maseru Security Accord.
The declaration led the country's parliament being reconvened in October after its dissolution in December last year, and provides for elections to be held in February 2015.
The accord provides for three senior defence and police officers to take a leave of absence and make working visits on their areas of expertise to Southern African Development Community (SADC) or Commonwealth countries.
Ramaphosa was expected to return to South Africa later on Tuesday. - Sapa
