?HAPPY INDEPENDENCE to LESOTHO
Celebrated on October 4th every year as the day the nation became a sovereign state from the British in 1966. At the time, it was known as Basutoland but upon independence, it was renamed the Kingdom of Lesotho with a King at its helm — Moshoeshoe II and its first Prime Minister — Chief Leabua Jonathan. This land-locked county, which is completely surrounded by South Africa, is still going strong and has largely been unaffected by political turmoils that have afflicted other African nations
"IN THE KINGDOM, IN THE SKY" as national Anthem says.
