✨ LCSMA WIN | HOLDING PARENTS ACCOUNTABLE ✨

Today marks a powerful moment in the fight for justice for children in Lesotho.

Our founder attended the Child Maintenance Court, where the State issued a formal criminal summons for failure to comply with a maintenance order. This action shows one important truth:

📌 The State of Lesotho is now taking non-compliance seriously.
📌 Parents who ignore court orders will face real consequences.
📌 Every child deserves consistent support — emotionally, spiritually, and financially.

At Lesotho Child Support & Maintenance Agency (LCSMA), we celebrate this as a step toward stronger, fairer enforcement for all families.
This is not just a personal victory — it is a sign of what is possible for every parent seeking justice.

We remain committed to advocating, guiding, and supporting parents through the entire maintenance process — with dignity, courage, and truth.

Justice for our children is not optional. It is law.

Vise versa 🤷

DNA Testing is Not an Insult, It’s Clarity.
So many families shy away from DNA tests because of stigma or fear of what people will say. But the truth is: DNA testing is not about shame, it’s about protecting the child’s rights and giving both parents peace of mind.

Let’s change the narrative DNA is not an attack, it’s a tool for truth and fairness. 💚

Why do you think child support still carries so much stigma in our communities? 🤔 It’s time we had this conversation openly. 💭

Let's have a case study and resolve it together.

Likhaketso is a 30 years old mosotho lady living in Maseru. She had Bokang her son who is now 8 years old doing his Grade 3 in an avarage semi private school where his yearly fee is R6000, R1500 quarterly. They live with Likhaketso's family. Likhaketso is a "hustler" and a tertiary drop out. She says she manages buying Bokang monthly scaftin food for R500 that's she rarely ever knows where it comes from same as the fee but she has been managing to this day.

Now Molefe is the alleged father to Bokang who has since disappeared from his 2yrs relationship with Likhaketso the minute he realized they were expecting... a year later after Bokang was born he reached out to attempt restarting their relationship with a message via Facebook....which is the only evidence Likhaketso has that they had a relationship and he knew about Bokang.

Molefe is a 35 years old machenic living in one of the famous town in Maseru. He is renting a two roomed house where he pays R850 rent buys R500 monthly electricity R50 water bill and spends R450 monthly transport to work. He says on a happy month he buys R800 grocery as he can say roughly he makes R2000 as his take home.

Let's engage into this case together... DNA test is currently R2850 with an Order from the court, Molefe is clearly now questioning Bokang DNA dispite Likhaketso's little proof to court of their relationship. They are clearly going to take forever to go for DNA. Likhaketso now needs Molefe to step in. Be the judge.

Child support is not charity,it is a responsibility.
Every child deserves love, care, and the right to a decent life. Too often, the stigma around child maintenance silences mothers, fathers, and guardians who are only fighting for fairness.

At Lesotho Child Support Agency, we are breaking the silence. We are here to say:
A child’s needs are not negotiable.

Parents’ responsibilities are not optional.

Dignity and fairness must come first.

Let’s work together to create a future where every child grows up supported, cared for, and valued.
