Hybrid of knowldge for Lesotho to prosper

Sebonomoea RK Ramainoane

I thank you friends for participating in today’s programme, those who posted their views a few days ago, here, are the real heroes, they give me the wisdom that was necessary for to navigate the Pusong ea sechaba ka sechaba talk-show.

I like the conclusion reached at the end of the show, that Lesotho needs to concoct her own hybrid of tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge in order to prosper and probably catch up with Botswana and Swaziland in all areas of economic development.

The intervention of Mr Tšeliso ’Mokela Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Gender, Youth, Sport and Recreation gave the programme the imputus needed to make it a real information and education channel in the area of development and empowerment.

He humbly acknowledged that Lesotho is not doing enough in the field of knowledge management. Only, 150 young intellectuals are beneficiaries to government programme aimed at equipping youth with tacit knowledge.

Models from Botswana, Germany and Japan were discussed and found to be good examples for Lesotho to copy, modify and implement. Participants, did indeed suggest models suitable for this kingdom.

President Barrack Obama is said to have advised Africans to have a hybrid of tacit competence and explicit competence in order to be competitive.

Participants said institutions such as MOAFRIKA FM which have since made a name for themselves in the area of community empowerment and development should be exempted from tax for them to be able to give more learning opportunities to young Basotho.

Keep the culture of sharing information and knowledge alive, we need more of it. Let us take this culture to whatever level, place, occasion and/or event.

God bless you. Take care of yourselves, your loved ones, the young and the elderly. I honestly love you.
