Telle Bridge,[1] also spelled as Tele Bridge, is a border post located between South Africa and Lesotho.
The actual steel motorbridge spans the Telle River, a tributary of the Orange River that flows across half of South Africa.
The anti-apartheid South African journalist and editor of the Daily Dispatch, Donald Woods entered Lesotho through the Telle Bridge as he was fleeing from South Africa on New Year's Eve, 1977.
