Info about Lesotho (History)

Lesotho, the country of South Africa. A scenic land of tall mountains and narrow valleys, Lesotho has a long history of political autonomy in the surrounding mountains, protecting it from invasion. Since the Neolithic, the mountain kingdom has been the territory of Khoisan-speaking hunter-gatherers. In the 19th century, the Sotho people, led by Moshoeshoe I, ruled the area. It remained independent until it became a British protectorate, one of the three British High Commissioners (the others be Bechuanaland [now Botswana] and Swaziland).

Tourism and income from the country's diamond industry also helped improve material conditions, and the capital Maseru has grown into one of South Africa's most attractive cities. Of these changes, Soto writer Mpho’M’ Atsepo Nthunya said:
