Lesotho bans All Blacks
NZPA-AP Johannesburg The Lesotho Government has barred the All Blacks from visiting Lesotho during their rugby tour of South Africa. The South African Press Association has quoted an unnamed Lesotho Government source as saying a South African travel agent sought to book the All Blacks into a hotel in Maseruo, Lesotho’s capital,
for one night during a tour break in Bloemfontein late in July. It said hotel reservations were made successfully but the Lesotho authorities banned the visit after the travel agency asked the Lesotho Tourist Board to provide the players with transport between Bloemfontein and Maseru. Lesotho is an independent country surrounded by South Africa.
