“I have no idea why women from Lesotho mainly target that shop,” Dlamini said. He said most of them illegally enter South Africa by crossing through the Mohokare River, which forms the boundary line between Lesotho and South Africa. The suspects, he said are expected to appear before the Ficksburg Magistrate’s Court soon.
