Today is Moshoeshoe Day in Lesotho, a country I have fond memories of. Moshoeshoe was the first King of Lesotho. He founded Basutoland to unite the local tribes to successfully fight against the Zulus and later the Boers. While Basutoland eventually became a British colony, Moshoeshoe was successful in keeping it from becoming a part of South Africa and it eventually became the independent country of Lesotho.
