Molapisi: Facing death in a foreign country

After receiving an anonymous tip, the airport customs officials intercepted Lesedi after she flew in from South Africa via Doha, Qatar. When questioned, she reportedly denied having any illegal substances or items to declare.

The airport officials proceeded to search her luggage and claimed to have found over 3kg of a heroin-like substance in her luggage. These are the facts and not much else is certain beyond them. As of November 27, some media reports claimed she was sentenced to death and executed, and others, corroborated by her father, claim that she is still awaiting trial.
