About Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Okeke Okonjo
- Okeke "OK Negus" Okonjo is a Lesotho politician.
- He is the co-founder and current head of the Kopanang Basotho Party.
- Born in Quthing and orphaned at birth, he was a ward of the state and a resident of the Quthing Orphanage until the legal emancipation age of 16.
- At 17 years of age, he became an employee of a local restaurant, which he inherited three years later when its owner died of old age.
- Using the proceeds of the sale of the business as capital, and inspired by the American investor Warren Buffett, he started a stockbroking partnership which blossomed in the early 2000s after a series of successful bets involving cocoa and fruit futures. His newfound wealth allowed him to pursue a career in politics while attending lectures at the National University of Lesotho in African Studies.
- After being featured on national radio shows, Okonjo was able to garner enough political capital to found the Kopanang Basotho Party along with a handful of freeholders and businessmen from Quthing.
- The party is headquartered in Quthing, but Okonjo currently resides in Maseru, the capital of Lesotho, in order to "stay in the midst of the political elite".
- Okonjo married local DJ and radio show host Watu Awolowo in 2005.
