TWO employees of the Lesotho Revenue Services (LRS) who allegedly accepted a M2, 400 bribe at the Maseru Border Gate are expected to appear in the Maseru Magistrate’s Court on January 15, next year, to stand trial.

The two men made an initial court appearance last week and were released on a M1, 000 bail each.

Thabo Matsinyane, 52, and Lebopa Monaheng, 40, were arrested after police and other LRS personnel entrapped them at the Maseru Bridge.
