THE cash-strapped government of Lesotho on Wednesday finalised the sale of 80% of its government vehicle pool to a South African company in the kingdom’s latest privatisation venture. The government’s R80-million deal with Imperial Fleet Services was signed in the kingdom’s capital Maseru. The sale includes the transfer of about 1200 vehicles which will now be leased back to the Lesotho government. The remaining 20% of the fleet will be transferred to Basotho private sector investors, government privatisation unit director Mothusi Mashologu said.
