Episode 7: Lesotho


Listen Later

In Episode Seven, Aaron is our guide in the enclave country of Lesotho, entirely enclosed within the borders of South Africa. We will learn how to correctly pronounce the name of the country after doing it all wrong for the last two weeks (sorry!). We will also dive into the story of King Moshoeshoe who would unite the people of Lesotho, and how his friendliness with the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society would eventually lead to the creation of Lesotho's national anthem, Lesōthō Fatše La Bo-Ntat'a Rōna.
