Runners from Lesotho and South Africa are taking part in a race to commemorate the loss of 42 lives 36 years ago.

This was when apartheid’s military regime launched attacks on the front line members of states.

Thirty of those who died were South Africans.

Now the government of Lesotho and South Africa commemorate the massacre and 300 runners converged to remember the sacrifices made.

The annual race hopes to strengthen the bond between the two countries.
