Lesotho Was Built to Fail — Here's Why

EPISODE 2: Lesotho - A Country Engineered to Fail Some nations fall by accident but maybe Lesotho may have been built to fail. This episode of In Perspective goes beyond corruption or poor leadership - and asks whether Lesotho's failure was baked into its political, economic, and institutional foundations. We explore: – How colonial design created dependence - not sovereignty – Why governance in Lesotho has always prioritised survival over leadership – How lawlessness became a political tool – Why development is more performance than progress – And how society itself is crumbling under a system that offers no way out We ask the question no one dares to answer: Was Lesotho ever meant to succeed?
