The Linoto Pholoana Memorial Bridge, situated along the Tsoaing River in the Mafeteng district, has been officially opened, at a ceremony presided by the Prime Minister Mr. Ntsokoane Samuel Matekane.
The reconstructed bridge has been sponsored by the Road Fund, to the tune of over M60 million spent by the Contractor while the Consultant spent over M10 million.
The bridge is named the Linoto Pholoana Memorial Bridge in honour of Mr. Linoto Pholoana, a Mosotho man who is suspected to have lost his life when a bus was swept away at the bridge before its reconstruction. Unfortunately, Mr. Pholoana’s body was never found, hence the memorial.
