Great job on the video Ben..I served in Ha Ramabanta 97-99 before digital cameras were around. I still miss the mountain kingdom. Too bad you didnt catch the tokalosi on film.
Part of the Peace Corps training in-country includes a "mokete" or party. After weeks and months of having to be sensitive of the local culture and its strict gender norms, the trainees let off steam (and entertain the local trainers) with a "Culturally Insensitive" bit. Sala hantle, ntate.
Ke a leboha haholo Ntate, a nice compilation.

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful video -- I wish I'd been able to spend more time in Lesotho.

Super videos. Brought back my PC memories from 1977-1979 in Seforong. The Basotho are amazing people. Pass the joala at that mokete.
