Happy International Data Privacy Day!

Although Lesotho still awaits the formal establishment of a Data Protection Commission under the 2011 Act, many local leaders aren’t waiting to take action. Today, we celebrate the organisations and individuals proactively championing data privacy.

Don’t wait for enforcement to prioritize security, start with our Free Data Protection Health Check at https://lnkd.in/dBXrD939

A few weeks back, we had the opportunity to present to youth in Mazenod on lifelong learning. The session was hosted by Mr Mosala Letuka, a business development practitioner based in Mazenod, Maseru. Our presentation centered around taking opportunity of various lifelong learning opportunities available so as to develop the necessary skills that are responsive to the current challenges and opportunities.

Through our corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, we are committed towards building a cyber-wise, data-safe and future ready youth population in Lesotho.

We had the pleasure of conducting a comprehensive cybersecurity awareness training with E-Legal Solutions Inc., and their feedback was truly inspiring! Their commitment to protecting their digital assets and staying informed about the latest cyber threats is commendable.

Thank you, E-Legal Solutions Inc., for trusting us to enhance your team’s cybersecurity knowledge. Together, we’re building a safer Lesotho!

As part of our Maikutlo ka Intelligence initiative, we celebrate the publication of the African Union (AU) Continental Artitificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy. The strategy calls for an africa centric and development-oriented approach regarding development, deployment and regulation of AI in Africa.

Data protection affects every industry.

Visit and follow Events Lesotho on Instagram, https://lnkd.in/gpb_hTmt for more events related data protection tips.

Cyberwise, Data Safe, Future-ready

We are grateful to Vodacom Lesotho for hosting the data protection and management workshop yesterday in Maseru. With various stakeholders in attendance, our co-founder, Adv. Tlhaloso Mpopo had the opportunity of being a panelist. Adv. Mpopo notes with appreciation that Lesotho needs more data protection workshops so as to sensitize stakeholders on all issues relating to data protection in Lesotho.

The Lesotho digital transformation policy and strategy 2024(draft) strongly recommends the modernisation of various legislation such as the Data Protection Act 2011. The workshop served as an important platform to share views from different perspectives.
