Basotho Nation | Celebrating 200 years of existence: Pokello Mahlomola

In 1824, Morena Moshoeshoe the 1st united various groups of people under his leadership, giving birth to the Basotho nation. This momentous event not only transitioned fragmented chiefdoms into a cohesive nation-state, but also laid the foundation of peace, unity, and strength that Basotho have carried forward for two centuries. As Lesotho celebrates both the 200th anniversary of its founding and the 58th anniversary of its independence, it is a time for reflection, celebration, and revitalization of the values that have shaped the country.
