Malawi says several of its diplomats have been expelled from South Africa after they were found guilty of peddling duty-free alcohol.

Malawi's foreign affairs ministry in Lilongwe announced on Friday that South Africa had given the diplomats and their families 72 hours to leave the country.

Several diplomats of Lesotho were expelled also from South Africa on similar grounds. To find out more on this, Zikhona Miso spoke to our Blantyre correspondent George Mhango.
