adminMASERU. – The government of Lesotho says more needs to be done to protect its citizens working in South Africa after hundreds of them were displaced during clashes with the local population.
A spokesman, Likopo Mahase, said Lesotho, which is surrounded by South Africa, wanted to find a solution for the employment of seasonal farm workers.
Last week, more than 400 Lesotho nationals were displaced during fighting with residents in the town of Hankey in the Eastern Cape.
A hundred of them subsequently left South Africa. The violence began a week ago after foreign nationals were accused of killing two local men. – BBC.
