The son of a morena was Prime Minister of the British crown colony Basutoland from May 6, 1965 to July 7, 1965 , which became independent as Lesotho in 1966. Like his successor Leabua Jonathan , he was a member of the Basutoland National Party (BNP). In his government, Maseribane was then deputy prime minister for a long time.
