The famous Basotho blankets sometimes depict this; indeed a matter of great national pride.

  2. This girl is still mentality enslaved and a bit ashamed. She tries to twang the Sesotho words. She says mowena and malothi which is wrong. It is morena and maloti. There was no canebalisim. That was a made up lie colonists made when they colonised different nations in the world

  3. Sesotho is the official and language of communication in lesotho. english is also official. sephuthi is a very small population. It is hard to come across someone who talks in sephuthi. Those are the languages of lesotho. There is no afrikaans in lesotho

  4. These Info helps so much to just understand it was a delebrate attack on Africa n its ppl to not develope where the world would know such marvelous works of so many but one ppl I wipe for you my ppl

  5. Showing a traditional family would have been so much better than showing a white man and a Lesotho woman. Not sure what the aim was since this is a video about Lesotho and not white people.

  6. Awesome presentation. Love peace and prosperity to my Basotho sisters and brothers. Stay strong, report corruption and let's all talk about how we can improve our amazing country. ❤🇱🇸❤🇦🇺 born in Roma🇱🇸 now live in Australia
