I concur!!! --- I agree with you Lapologang, it is high time that SADC countries establish a regional institute for foreign service training. In one of my HTs on this lecture text, I have confessed that, Lesotho does not as a matter of policy breed career diplomats with entry prerequisite being adequate background, knowledge and skills in diplomacy and/or international relations. MFA staff in Lesotho are employed into the Ministry through the same procedure afforded to all other civil servants through the Public Service Commission. It is merely out of luck and/or of course knowing someone who knows somebody of authority, that one gets placed in that Ministry.
