Incorporation documents acquired by Lesotho Express from the German commercial register department show that Stephan Fintelmann and Robert Frazer started the company with a capital of twenty five thousand euro and later amended the documents on 16 August 2018.įrintelmann is curiously also the former managing director of KBB Kollektorbau which announced in September 2019, that it would shut down its German operations after 25 years in business, and most probably move outside Europe, because it had difficulty running a solar thermal business in Germany.

And now it wants Lesotho assets to pay back the money. It was awarded a default judgement on the agreement to supply 40 000 solar water-heating systems, 20 megawatts of solar photovoltaic capacity, 1 million LED lights and 350 000 solar lanterns. It was registered five months after the first meeting between managing director Robert Frazer and Tšolo on 3 August 2017, when Tšolo, again without consulting cabinet, allegedly assured Frazer of Thabane and government interest in the renewable energy project proposed by Frazer.įrazer Solar has been awarded (€50million) about 850 million maloti in damages by an arbitration process in South Africa. BERLIN, Germany – Former minister in the prime minister’s office Temeki Tšolo not only signed the final agreement with Frazer Solar GmbH without cabinet approval deliberately, says Robert Frazer – but he also wrote letters to German bank KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH asking for funding on behalf of Frazer before the company was even registered – yet this part Frazer doesn’t say.įrazer Solar GmbH was registered in Germany on 12 January 2018, two months after submitting a formal proposal to Lesotho, and after signing a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the office of then prime minister Tom Thabane.
