The Kingdom of Lesotho, surrounded by South Africa, is the home of a proud and peaceful people who must work hard to survive in the rugged mountains and harsh climate. To reach many of their villages requires hiking or riding the Basotho Pony. The Basotho of southern Africa number 5 and 1/2 million .. 3 million live in the Free State Province of South Africa while another 2 and 1/2 million live in the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. This fiercely proud and peaceful people are usually seen with colorful wool blankets and conical-shaped hats. They are the one people in Africa who are accustomed to living in cold, snowy winters. The Basotho nation owes its existence to the wisdom and leadership of one man. King Moshoeshoe. Amid wars which ravaged southern Africa during the 1800s this king chose the path of peace rather than of war. Rather than fight, he formed alliances with other tribes through marriages and then gathered his people to the safety of the mountain stronghold of Thaba Bosiu. Here the Basotho nation was formed. |
