Understand

Quthing, the southernmost city of Lesotho, lies in the southern part of the country and borders the East Cape province of South Africa. Established in 1877 but later abandoned during the Gun War in 1880, Quthing was rebuilt and now stands as a testament to Lesotho's history. The Senqu River flows through the district and town of Quthing, marking its journey towards the Atlantic Ocean. The Tele Bridge serves as the border post between Lesotho and South Africa, connecting these two neighboring lands.

Popular Foods

The first popular food in Lesotho is "Pap", which is a staple made from finely ground maize meal that is cooked into a porridge. It's often eaten with a flavorful broth or stew, forming a sort of edible spoon to scoop up every last drop of the accompanying dish.

The second popular food in Lesotho is "Berewasty" (also known as "Bere-wax"), a traditional Lesotho snack made from cornmeal, peanuts, sugar, and honey, formed into small round balls and coated with wax to preserve them. They are often eaten during special occasions or as a quick energy boost during long hikes.

The third popular food in Lesotho is "Mokoatsi", a type of sausage traditionally made from minced beef or lamb, mixed with salt, pepper, and other spices before being stuffed into intestine casings and left to ferment for several days. Mokoatsi can be eaten raw, cooked over an open flame, or grilled, and is often enjoyed with pap and a side of relish.
