Two border posts between the Free State and neighbouring Lesotho will be closed for general entry and departure.
This as President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday night announced that all border posts nationally will be closed during the continuation of alert level 3 of lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19.
The Maseru Bridge and Ficksburg border posts will be closed until 15 February 2021. But people will still be allowed to enter the country for the transportation of fuel and cargo, amongst exceptions. The two borders mere days ago experienced long queues with hundreds of frustrated holidaymakers braving long queues before they could be processed for entry back into South Africa.
