Location of Lesotho

Lesotho is an enclaved, landlocked country in southern Africa surrounded by South Africa. Previously known as Basutoland, Lesotho declared independence from the United Kingdom on 4 October 1966. It is a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The name Lesotho translates roughly into the land of the people who speak Sesotho.[1] About 40% of the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.[2]
