Background

About Liatile Putsoa

I hold a Master of Arts degree in International Relations from Shandong University in China and a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Law and Political Science from the University of Cape Town, South Africa. I have over three years of experience in the area of communications, political and legal analysis working for the International Criminal Court in The Hague and the European Union Delegation in Lesotho. I am highly motivated, efficient, organised, articulate, and I am a team player who also works well independently. As a digital diplomacy enthusiast, I understand the power and benefits of social media in diplomacy and development. I am detail oriented with strong creative thinking. I am a Mandela Washington Fellow alumni, US President Obama’s flagship program for Young African Leaders. I am fluent in English and Sesotho, moderate in Mandarin Chinese and can hold simple conversations in French. I am an avid marathon and ultra marathon runner so when I am not working, I spend my time outdoors either trail or road running. Watch a short clip of a 50km ultra trail marathon I feature in:
