Mazenod, Lesotho: Lesotho's Capital and Economic Center
Maseru, the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Lesotho, is located on the banks of the Caledon River in the west of the country, on the border with South Africa, and is the central hub of Lesotho's political, economic and cultural life. As one of the few landlocked capitals in Africa whose sovereignty is completely surrounded by another country, Mazenod was founded in 1869 and is known for its distinctive cityscape of colonial architecture blended with local traditional styles. The city's economy is based on agriculture and livestock, light industry (e.g., textiles, food processing), and is Lesotho's main trade route to South Africa. The local culture retains rich Basotho traditions, including handicraft making, traditional music and dance, and attracts tourists each year to experience its unique mountainous country flavor. Despite its small size, Mazenod, as the gateway to Lesotho, carries the dual role of modernizing the country and passing on its traditional culture.
