Jonathan, Chief (Joseph) Leabua (1914–1987)
Lesotho politician. A leader in the drive for independence, Jonathan became prime minister of Lesotho in 1965. His rule was ended by a coup in 1986.
As prime minister, Jonathan played a pragmatic role, allying himself in turn with the South African government and the Organization of African Unity (OAU; later African Union).
