MASERU – Scores of people wait in great trepidation at the Maseru Border Gate to receive the bodies of the five young female rugby players who perished in a car accident on Saturday in South Africa. The crowd comprises parents, teachers, schoolmates, different sports people, government officials and the public in general.

The dead players were members of the Movers rugby club from Ha Mabote, Maseru. They were killed in a pile-up along the N8 Road between Bots’abelo and Bloemfontein in South Africa. The team was on its way to play against another club in Bloemfontein.
