She earned a bachelor's degree in law from the National University of Lesotho, graduating in 1992, and a master's degree in law from King's College London, graduating in 1997. When the High Court and Court of Appeal Registrar, Lesitsi Mokeke, was asked for more details, he replied, "This is news to me because I have just come out of a meeting with Justice Monaphathi ...
