South Africa and Lesotho agree that IDs are enough to cross the border

Basotho who have been barred from South Africa for overstaying will be granted amnesty

South Africa and Lesotho have agreed that citizens only need their national identity documents to cross the border.
Children under 16, who do not qualify for national IDs, will continue to use passports.
Basotho who have been barred from South Africa for overstaying will be granted amnesty. They need to register with Lesotho’s immigration authorities.
This is meant to simplify movement between the two countries, and comes in the wake of Lesotho’s passport crisis.
