Lesotho

DISCIPLINARY action will be taken against Lesotho diplomats expelled from South Africa for illicit trade in duty-free alcohol, the government of the Kingdom of Lesotho said on Friday.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations expressed its disappointment and embarrassment that several Basotho serving at the Lesotho high commission in Pretoria and the Lesotho consulate in Johannesburg were declared unacceptable by South Africa.

“The diplomats and their families have been given 72 hours to depart South Africa and relinquish their diplomatic status,” the statement read.
