Live Lesotho would like to announce that we will no longer be involved with the organisation and management of the Roof of Africa and the Retro Roof, with immediate effect. After successfully completing a 4-year contract with LORA (Lesotho Off Road Association) to organise the Roof of Africa, our contract was up for renewal at the end of Jan 2023. Despite the best efforts of all parties, over an extended period of time, the negotiations concluded on the 26th of Feb, and have unfortunately not been successful. As a result, Live Lesotho will no longer be involved with the Roof.
We are aware of premature statements and opinions that are circulating around our negotiations with LORA and our involvement with the Roof of Africa. However, these are not our official statements, nor our position on this matter.
“This event has always had the competitors and the riding community at its heart, and we’d like to thank each and every one of them for their determination, courage and spirit to take on the Roof!” says Charan Moore, Founder of Live Lesotho.
“We’d also like to thank everyone that has supported and contributed to making the Roof of Africa the success that it is today including the sponsors, the Basotho people, the government of Lesotho, the media, LORA and our team at Live Lesotho, your commitment is appreciated,” Charan concludes.
