Lesotho's army, police and intelligence chiefs have in effect threatened a military coup, warning they will step in to prevent Prime Minister Sam Matekane from being toppled in a parliamentary no-confidence vote.
As Prime Minister Sam Matekane's ouster seemed imminent on Monday, the security bosses issued a statement saying this"will never happen".
The MPs included disgruntled dissidents from Matekane's own Revolution for Prosperity unhappy with how the party is being run.
