THE nightmare continues for two Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) officers who have been languishing in a South African prison since their arrest in the neighbouring country five months ago.
This after the Matatiele Magistrates’ Court on Thursday denied them bail and ordered that they stand trial on 15 January 2021. This means that the duo, Privates Rorisang Moepi and Dumile Tsoanyane, will spend Christmas behind bars.
They were arrested in Matatiele, Eastern Cape on 19 July 2020 by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) after they allegedly pursued South African rustlers who had allegedly stolen livestock in Lesotho.
