"Some of our men and women end up doing unlawful jobs in South Africa. Men engage in illegal mining while women end up being trafficked as they search for jobs. It is on this basis that we have, as part of our BAP policy, said that there will be vocational training schools where the unemployed can be equipped with self-reliance skills."

"Hence, we as the BAP have deliberately chosen to be on the side of the poor. We are therefore going to reintroduce low-income housing for all Basotho so that they can at least service their housing loans instead of having to pay rent. This is a project which will benefit Basotho who earn low income across all sectors, including vendors and factory workers."

"The time has come for Basotho living in Mafeteng, Mohale’s Hoek and Quthing districts to bring about change. If only you give me the benefit of doubt and trust me with your votes, I will make sure that this factory becomes operational and provide jobs for you."

"If you want peace, it should start with you and those around you, remember that we are one thing."

"I can make your troubles go away, if you can compensate me with money. I can publish good stories about you."

"We are going to make sure that once we are in power civil servants who go on pension get the larger chunk of their dues immediately to help them start up their own little projects."
