Get hold of a map of Africa.FN:1 On mine, South Africa is yellow. And due south of Johannesburg, surrounded on all sides by nothing but South Africa, there’s a pink circle of about 30,000 square miles. That’s Lesotho, a tiny kingdom that sticks out on the map of South Africa like a dalmatian in a room full of labradors.
Lesotho is there because the Brits, and the Boers, and the Zulu could never quite make the Basotho people go away. If you saw the movie Zulu, you were seeing a small piece of the history of the Basotho, although the movie was mostly concerned with Michael Caine and his troops at Rorke’s Drift, and the Basotho were literal and figurative spear carriers.
