Steinmeier Ends Africa Trip As First German President In Lesotho(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier is concluding his four-day trip to Africa with a visit to Lesotho on Saturday. Steinmeier’s visit is the first by a German president to the small mountainous country, which is situated within South Africa. The trip follows an invitation from King Letsie III, extended during a visit to Berlin last year. Steinmeier’s visit to Lesotho comes off the back of discussions in South Africa with President Cyril Ramaphosa on Friday. The country heavily relies on its large neighbour South Africa and due to limited employment opportunities, many inhabitants have sought work in South Africa for decades, particularly in mining.
