The History of Lesotho
The territory now known as Lesotho has been occupied from the dawn of human history and during the past thousand years by Late Stone Age San hunter-gatherers. From about the 16th century, African farmers, the ancestors of the present population, moved across the grasslands of southern Africa and settled in the fertile valleys of the Caledon River, where they came to dominate the San hunters of the region. These stock-keeping agriculturalists belonged to the large Sotho group and were divided into numerous clans. The Basotho Kingdom (1824-69)

http://www.photius.com/countries/south_africa/national_security/south_africa_national_security_nuclear_chemical_a~11987.html
Sources: The Library of Congress Country Studies; CIA World Factbook
    Back to South Africa National Security The international fear of nuclear proliferation made South Africa the focus of intense concern during the 1980s. Although Pretoria initially would not confirm it was developing, or possessed, nuclear weapons, it had large natural deposits of uranium, as well as uranium enrichment facilities and the necessary technological infrastructure. In addition, until the late 1980s South Africa had the deeply entrenched fear of its adversaries and the insecurity about its borders that were important incentives in other nations' nuclear programs. After 1981 South Africa was able to produce annually about fifty kilograms of highly enriched uranium, enough to make two or three twenty-kiloton nuclear bombs each year. With the cooperation of Israelanother technologically advanced, militarily powerful, nuclear-capable nation surrounded by hostile neighborsSouth Africa developed at least six nuclear warheads, which it later acknowledged, along with a variety of missiles and other conventional weapons. In 1987 President Botha announced that South Africa was considering signing the 1968 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and would begin discussions with other countries toward that end. In September 1990, Pretoria agreed to sign the NPT, but only "in the context of an equal commitment by other states in the Southern African region." After intensive diplomatic efforts, especially by the United States and the Soviet Union, Tanzania and Zambia agreed to sign the treaty. South Africa signed the NPT in July 1991, and an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards agreement in September of that year. In addition, the government banned any further development, manufacture, marketing, import, or export of nuclear weapons or explosives, as required by the NPT. The IAEA declared it had completed its inspection in late 1994 and that South Africa's nuclear weapons facilities had been dismantled.

History
Pre 20c
People described as Sotho have lived in Southern Africa since at least the 10th century AD, moving throughout the high veld of the region. By the 16th century, the Sotho people had arrived in the area known now as Lesotho, marrying and intermingling with the Khoisan people, and forming small chiefdoms. Extensive trade links were established between the groups, as well as with outside people. Grain and hides, for example, were traded for iron from the Transvaal area. By the early 19th century white traders were on the scene, exchanging their ever-reliable beads for cattle. In came the Voortrekkers (Boer pioneers), and suddenly the people of the area, now called Basotholand, had to recognise that constant expansion for 300 years was placing extreme pressure on the environment. At the same time, consolidation and expansion of the Zulu state was causing a chain-reaction of violence throughout southern Africa. Survival by the loosely organised southern Sotho society is attributed to the strong leadership of Moshoeshoe the Great. The Basotho emerged as a people around 1820 when Moshoeshoe the Great gathered the tribes scattered by Zulu raids and established a stronghold at Butha-Buthe, and later on the mountain of Thaba-Bosiu, about 30km (20mi) from what is now Maseru. By 1840 his people numbered about 40,000. Worried by the Boers, Moshoeshoe the Great enlisted British support, but the British were equally worried about Moshoeshoe, and launched an unsuccessful attack on him. When the English left defeated, the Boers pressed their claims to the land, leading to the 1858 Free State-Basotho War (won by Moshoeshoe) and another in 1865 (in which Moshoeshoe lost much of the western lowlands). In 1868, under increasing pressure from the Boers, Moshoeshoe placed the region under the protection of the British government, but as part of the deal, lost even more land to the Boers.

The UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance, initiated in November 1996, guides respective activities. The primary objective of the working group is to strengthen national, regional and global structures and networks for improved monitoring and surveillance of HIV/AIDS and STIs. For this purpose, the working group collaborates closely with national AIDS programmes and a number of national and international experts and institutions. The goal of this collaboration is to compile the best information available and to improve the quality of data needed for informed decision-making and planning at national, regional and global levels. The Epidemiological Fact Sheets are one of the products of this close and fruitful collaboration across the globe.

KATSE, 22 JANUARY 1998 Your Majesty, King Letsie III
Your Excellencies, President Masire; President Nujoma
Distinguished guests, Bo mme le bo ntate, ke a le dumedisa! History has bound Lesotho and South Africa so closely that we are even more than neighbours, friends and allies. Our joint presence here today confirms that those who shared the trenches of struggle are today working together as free nations to realise the possibilities of freedom. The resounding success of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project testifies to the powerful spirit of co-operation that is growing as Africa lifts itself through its own efforts, with the strong support of the international community. The flow of fresh water is the concrete result of the welding together of our efforts at nation building and regional development. This is a most significant day. Let us salute it! Here in Southern Africa we have worked four our mutual benefit we have turned a scheme conceived in the previous, unhappy era of our region's history into a fine instrument for development and progress for all. It is a special pleasure that so many children all over South Africa and Lesotho have taken part in this celebration.

SPEECH BY PRESIDENT NELSON MANDELA AT A STATE BANQUET HOSTED BY HIS MAJESTY, KING MOSHOESHOE II OF THE KINGDOM OF LESOTHO
Maseru, 12 July 1995 Your Majesty King Moshoeshoe II;
Your Majesty Queen Mamohato;
Your Royal Highness Prince Mohato;
Mr. Prime Minister and Mrs Mokhehle;
Distinguished guests;
Ladies and gentlemen, It is indeed a great and singular honour to be in the Kingdom of Lesotho tonight. I am mindful of being amongst a people who have fought as valiantly for our freedom as for your own. The threads of history, language and daily experience hold our people so closely that the bond between us goes beyond that of friendship and alliance. It is more akin to that of compatriots. It is therefore deeply moving to be with you, and to be received with such warmth and generosity. Although the ties between our people go back so many years, only now can they flourish to their full potential, under conditions of our own choosing. With the defeat of apartheid our two countries, a democratic South Africa and a Lesotho free of the shadow of destablisation, can look forward to a relationship of mutual benefit and between equal partners. The promotion of economic development in Southern Africa is of paramount importance to South Africa. The economies of the region are so intertwined that no one country can enter a prosperous future in isolation. We need a new form of economic interaction in Southern Africa, based on principles of mutual benefit and interdependence. We need integrated strategies for balanced growth and equitable relations of trade and investment, and a joint approach to regional infrastructure.

CANNABIS IN LESOTHO: A PRELIMINARY SURVEY
Laurent Laniel
    Table of contents

    Abstract: This discussion paper presents the main findings of a field study carried out by OGD on the drug situation in Southern Africa in the summer of 1997 particularly as regards the cannabis phenomenon in Lesotho. It does not aim to be an exhaustive study, rather it is a preliminary survey aimed at establishing some bases for further research. This paper was written by putting together the information gathered during the field study (interviews with Basotho officials, doctors and specialists of the rural milieu, members of NGOs, a small number of cannabis growers, non-Basotho officials and workers, and direct observation by the author), and data arising from previous studies, most notably those carried out by the Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA).
    Introduction
    . The main aim of this study was to provide a broad picture of illegal activities linked to the production, trafficking and use of banned substances in the 11 countries then part of the Southern African Development Community (SADC
