Workers March in Maseru to Save Textile Industry
Hundreds of garment-factory workers marched through Maseru, demanding government action to save Lesotho's textile industry amid uncertainty over the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) renewal.
The march, initially banned, proceeded after the police minister gave permission. Protesters held signs calling for the AGOA trade agreement with the US to be saved, allowing duty-free exports of Lesotho-made garments to the American market.
- Workers fear tens of thousands of job losses without AGOA, leaving families and communities in hunger.
- Banners read "Where is AGOA?" and "Renew AGOA and stop job losses" as workers, trade-union leaders, youth, and consumer groups marched through the capital.
