After breaking with the liquid crystal display, Moleleki has served as Deputy Leader of the Democratic Congress, and he has been Minister of Police since 2015. Appointed to the government as Minister of National Resources in 1993, Moleleki was briefly kidnapped along with three other ministers by soldiers on April 14, 1994. Another minister, Deputy Prime Minister Selometsi Baholo, was killed in this incident.
Police then went on strike in May 1994, and Moleleki resigned and left the country for Botswana, saying that he thought he was likely to be targeted for assassination next.
After serving for several years as Minister of Natural Resources, Moleleki became Minister of Foreign Affairs in November 2004 and served in that position until March 2007, when he became Minister of Natural Resources again. He was said to have been shot and wounded in the arm in an attack at his home at night on January 29, 2006.
Some say "o thuntsoe ka thipa" meaning he was "shot with a knife". He is also known as Mahaletere because of his halter like beard and mustache.
As a leading figure in the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (liquid crystal display), Moleleki was Minister of Natural Resources from 1993 to 1994, Minister of Information from 1996 to 1998, Minister of Natural Resources from 1998 to 2004, Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2004 to 2007, and Minister of Natural Resources from 2007 to 2012. He was elected deputy secretary general of the governing Basutoland Congress Party at a party conference in March 1996. He has said that the attack was politically motivated.
Moleleki was viewed by some as a possible candidate to eventually take over from Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili.
In March 1995 he returned to Lesotho and was detained by members of the National Security Service on March 29.
