What is it about?
This is the reading of the National Disability and Rehabilitation Policy. It is examining ways in which people with disabilities are constituted through government policies and how such constitution forms the basis of their marginalization in society.

Why is it important?
It is the first of its kind to comment about the Lesotho National Disability and Rehabilitation Policy. Not only does it create awareness on ways in which people with disabilities are constructed through state knowledge and policy but it also provides explanation of their perpetual discrimination and alienation by society.
Perspectives
Writing this article was adventurous in that it was one of the first that I wrote after my PhD. Its publication was an achievement not only for myself but for people with disabilities in Lesotho whose voices were carried into the article.
