Butha-Buthe is the capital of the Bokong District in northern Lesotho, about 120 kilometers north of Maseru, in the foothills of the Malabar Mountains and close to the South African border. The city was named after the fortress built by King Moshoshu I of Sotho in the 19th century to resist Zulu invasion, and "Bokong" means "fortress" in Sotho. An important pre-independence stronghold for Lesotho, Bokong retains remnants of its colonial past and is surrounded by spectacular mountainous terrain, making it a destination for hiking enthusiasts. The local economy is predominantly agricultural, with crops such as maize and sorghum being grown, and small-scale trading and handicrafts also playing a part. Despite its small size, Bokong has become a key node connecting northern Lesotho to South Africa due to its historical heritage and geographical location.
